"Disappointing"
TripAdvisor user rating 1 out of 5
Reviewed January 11, 2020 NEW
Took the moonlight tour, with the hope of seeing the beautiful buildings of Washington lite up. Unfortunately the Windows were steamed up most of the time leaving limited visibility. Out guide spoke so fast, being English it was impossible to keep up. The tour over ran by an hour and we were not informed were going to be two stops on the route. Very disappointing and definitely a waste of money.

"Sooner Steve and Go POKES!!!"

We had a great evening of touring our nation's Capitol city. Our tour guide, Sooner Steve, was awesome. He was full of knowledge, lighthearted and very kind. As an OSU Cowboy, it's hard for me to say that about a Sooner, but he said he had the OSU Fight Song as his ring tone, so he's okay in my book. Great experience and Go POKES!!!

This company is professional and easy to use. This was a highlight of my DC experience. Dominque our tour leader and trolley driver was exceptional! She was energetic and knowledgeable. We got to see all the monuments by trolley and she stopped 30-45 minutes so we could look around and take photos. I highly recommend this tour. Worth the money and time.
