We took this tour on our first night in WDC and I'm so glad we did! Our driver Mike was so informative and shared so much information on the city and landmarks. It also grounded us as to where various things were located so as we ventured out the next few days we had a better perspective of travel distance and proximity to other things. This is a do not miss for anyone who is interested in seeing the city!!!

We enjoyed the tour and the visits to the different monuments. The FDR and MLK monuments are fantastic. Our driver/guide was not shy about his opinions and was not very kind. Especially having our kids with us we did not appreciate everything he had to share.

Jason was amazing! Friendly, informative, helpful, accommodating, funny, and kind. He went out of his way to make sure everyone received a fabulous tour and excellent customer service. He even ran through Union Station to (successfully) catch a young mom who left her phone on the trolley. We highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Jason to be your guide!

"Beautiful Evening - DC at Night"
TripAdvisor user rating 5 out of 5

There were 5 of us ranging in age from 26 to 65. We all loved the tour. Our tour guide, Honest Abe, was wonderful and very informative. The tour was very fitting as we were in DC during the 4th of July Holiday. Even though the city was very crowded, the tour was very enjoyable and we were given ample time to visit each memorial -- our favorite was The Lincoln Memorial and Korean War memorial. This is a definite tour to do while in DC.
