- Mike332200Great funThe guide was very knowledgeable and kept the group moving and on time. We had a lot of fun even in the pouring rain
- tanyacI6203IP00Great Comprehensive TourIt was a great tour. My whole family had a good time. The tour guide was informative and interesting. I wish I could remember his name but it was bus 43 on 8/12 at 7:30. There was a medical emergency in our tour and it was handled quickly and sensitively. This was a great way to get the lay of the land and see all the big stops without having to plan the logistics yourself. Well worth the money!
- LishaJ1700A must doMemorable tour and was able to see a lot around without travel hassle, the bus seats were comfortable, and our guide Thomas was incredibly kind. Definitely recommend this tour.
- Coastal75320500Great day tourWas a very nice trip, covered a lot of territory, buses were fresh and clean, the driver, as well as the tour guy were very friendly and knowledgeable
- annezagar202200Wonderful.Nick and Jamaal were the best. Nick was very knowledgeable, entertaining and personable!! Great experience. Beautiful at night.
- 201gabbys00Inspiring and Memorable Tour!I just wan t to say James and Kris were Amazing! James had such an incredible passion for History and Kris so polite and punctual. The only thing that I was upset about was forgetting to take a picture with them. Thank you guys!
- jmuchow61700Fun with FriendsNick was a great guide and this was a great way to see some of the top sites in the city. Would recommend this tour! Great stories, history, and comfortable bus.
- Q9353WVroberts00A Quick Way to See A LotJames and Chris were a great team! Saw a ton of stuff in 3 hours! James is knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommended.
- taralL4675GL00Perfect. Awesome even.Informative, entertaining, fun experience. We are from Colorado and have always wanted to visit our Nation's capital. Now that we have, our first tour (this one) did not disappoint.
- ChristineF45430010 outta 10Dion our tour guide and Sean our driver were awesome! We were engaged from the moment he said 13. So knowledgeable and entertaining! We saw all the popular monuments and Dion made sure we knew all the best photo angles too.
- Cruiser1810120630800DC tripWe took a trip to DC to visit family, and what we experienced at our nations capital was disgusting. Homeless people were camped out in public places. A city that should represent respect and dignity. Instead displays filth and lack of care. Very few public servants spoke English. The archives, the museums the city overall was a big disappointment. The outer areas were nice but the DC area was very disappointing.
- N2131PWrichardg00GreatThe tour was great our guide was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and the ones we also drove by
- Valerie J00Overall pretty good experienceThe tour guides were very knowledgeable and they were very friendly. They did take us to a lot of places and although some reviews say they felt rushed , it didn’t seem rushed at all in my opinion. I felt some of the attractions are not better at night, as some of them involve reading things that are written very small and you miss out on a lot details at night. We did this tour our first night in DC and I’m glad because it was helpful in giving us an overview of the area and helping us recognize buildings that we returned to during the remainder of our trip. Drawbacks were their bus had air conditioning and they had the glass top open and we were all hot and uncomfortable. We saw a lot of other buses that were closed in and air conditioned and I found myself wishing I was in one of those buses. The tour starts before it gets dark and it was hot at that time. The bus was very small and we were packed in there like sardines in a sardine can. It started raining and for some reason they drove us around in the rain for at least 20 or 30 minutes until someone asked of they could close the glass top, at which time they did. Everyone was in disbelief that they were riding us around letting us get wet when they could have closed the top all along. I will mention that the driver and tour guide were in the front of the bus which was covered.

This tour was really interesting and fun. Our guide Mr. Deion was amazing and knew so much information. He really made the whole experience incredibly memorable and fun. There's no way I would have learned so much without him. The cost of this is totally worth it- I didn't have to drive, I learned way more than I would have had I gone by myself, and was even supplied refreshment. It was great.

Excellent trip. Great tour guide. Mount Vernon experience was far better than I expected. Great, and reasonably priced, restaurant! But, needs to use the full time states for the trip to be able to see things without rushing. We ended up back in DC about an hour earlier than scheduled so it seems some of the disappointments could have been avoided. Felt rushed to eat lunch and had very little time to look through the large gift shops in order to board the bus at the time required. Also, the trip itinerary was supposed to include a stop and 10 minute tour of Christchurch in Alexandria and we only just drove by it, so that was also disappointing.

The day was a bit warm & humid but the sights were amazing. Tim was an excellent tour guide giving us info & insight into the lifestyle of Mt. Vernon. He made Mt. Vernon truely come alive. I was so happy that my husband & I took a professional tour rather than a self-guided tour.

Great day trip with an outstanding guide, Dion, who provided a wonderful narrative to the drive through Alexandria and the stop at Mount Vernon. I highly recommend this tour and Dion. You’ll learn a whole lot more about George Washington that you likely do not know.

Is there an actual guide that shows you around Old Town Alexandria and Mount Vernon? Or, is it just an audio tour?

Our driver was our guide however, it could have been better. The tour of Washington's house at Mount Vernon is guided and well done.
