Touring with craig

Wankie_M, May 2024

My husband and I had a great your. Our Guide was great. He was informative. The MLk tour seemed a little rushed I was a little disappointed because that was my main focus. The snacks and water were a plus and Craig was great. Transportation was clean and on time making sure to leave no one behind.

Outstanding in every way

David_P, May 2024

This tour was exceptional in every way. The tour guide was friendly, humorous, and extremely knowledgeable. The earpiece that was provided allowed us to listen to the added context, history, and instructions about each site which greatly enhanced and enriched the experience. The driver did a terrific job of dropping off and picking up at ideal locations to minimize walking and maximize safety. The van was air conditioned, comfortable, and allowed for us to leave personal belongings behind and/or to charge portable devices. Overall, it was a tremendous value and a very beneficial use of 3 hours to see so many key monuments and sites in downtown DC at sunset, dusk, and in the evening when they were all lit up.

Returning Customer!

Michelle_P, May 2024

This was the second time taking this tour - did it in 2023 with Mr. Maps for a group visiting DC and had such a great time, we had to book again for this year's group! Craig and Jose took great care of us, showing the sights of DC - water and snack greatly appreciated! When we return with future groups, will absolutely book this tour and highly recommend to anyone that we know visiting DC. This is a fantastic way to see and learn about DC!

Informative and loads of fun.ra

Doug_M, May 2024

Craig and Dwight are a good team. The tour is well planned and covers a lot of unforgettable places. Best of all was Craig's easy going, quite informative and often humorous presentation. There are many inspiring moments in U.S. history, that are also painful and controversial. I thought Craig was factual and did not pick sides as he told his stories. Throughout the tour, my family felt very proud to be American. Thanks Craig. You are a true Patriot

Great evening tour

ROBERTA_R, Apr 2024

A lot of great information and trivia. There was plenty of time for pictures. Our driver and Craig, our guide, were super helpful, knowledgeable and nice.

ok. Not Great.

Sande_C, Apr 2024

The driver was great! Super good host. The negatives were that the glow wristbands weren't given to everyone before they left the bus. We ended up leaving a father & his kids behind at our first stop. No communication that the bus was moving so I'm sure he went back to drop off location. The tour guide tried calling him as well as going back to try to find him. Glow bands could have helped. or maybe they just decided to uber back at the first stop? It was the tour guides fist day with company. Lots of silence between locations. He did point out alot of buildings as we passed but I felt like I could look at a google map for that. I would have liked more history or interesting tidbits. The ear pieces started working on stop 7 of 10. No earpiece before that. It gets 3 stars because they were nice people and it was entertaining to watch the juggles. Definitely not a 5 star tour. I'll do another one with a different company on my next trip to DC

Amazing

GedRhayanne_T, Apr 2024

Amazing! Deborah was very knowledgeable. It was good to see the different memorial/monument at night time.

Worth every penny

Frances_Y, Apr 2024

Dwight and Deborah were the best driver and tour guide we’ve had in a really long time. The night was chaotic with more barricades and crowds than usual, but their years of experience made our tour go smoothly. The earpieces and LED lights also helped a ton, very smart thinking by this tour operator. For a moonlight tour, we highly recommend this one over the others!

Recommend this night time tour of DC monuments!

Kerry_d, Apr 2024

Great tour of all the major monuments at night. Our guide Craig and driver Jose were really wonderful and took care of us!

5 stars

Ray_C, Apr 2024

5 stars. Traveled as a family. Friendly staff. Comfortable ride. The neon wrist bands and individual headsets were a plus. Ideal amount of time to see many DC sights. Highly recommend!

Great option when visiting DC

Carol_B, Mar 2024

Craig the tour guide and Mistral the driver were great. Craig had interesting fun facts to share on the tour. Having LED bracelets made it easy to stay together since many of the memorials were crowded. The earpiece system made it easy to hear the information. Chips, chocolate, and water was a nice addition. The bus was very comfortable.

Engaging and thorough!

Lisa_D, Mar 2024

So nice having the ear pieces to hear our guide, Paul... We could wonder off to take photos and still hear everything he said. Very informative and interesting. So many historical sites that were so beautiful at night.

You should do this!

Jacquelyn_F, Mar 2024

Great tour guide. We got to see all of the monuments at night and the cherry blossoms! Definitely recommend!

Great nighttime monument tour

Terry_M, Mar 2024

Steve was a great guide- knowledgeable and informative. The bus was comfortable. Light snacks and water provided. We enjoyed the headphone which allowed us to view the monuments while listening to the history

Fan-freaking-tastic! ...

Annikki, Mar 2024

Fan-freaking-tastic! Larry is both knowledgeable *and* hilarious. Jose is a fantastic driver, too. This was a major highlight of this trip to DC!

Must do this tour!

TARESSA_J, Mar 2024

Guide and tour was great! We saw a ton of monuments! It was great! My husband and I truly enjoyed the tour and how kind the staff was!

Great Experience

Maureen_m, Mar 2024

Our tour was terrific. There was as water and snack available at any time. There are many stops to walk around and get close to monuments. Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating to guests It lives up to the name "Best DC...Tour!"

Fun and professional

Janet_L, Jun 2023

We really enjoyed our presenter, Deb, and driver, Jose. They were fun and professional. The shuttle was cool and comfortable. My teenage son even liked it! We recommend this tour.

Amazing tour!

Lauren_D, Apr 2023

We were in DC for just a few days and wanted to make sure we got to see as much as possible. We picked this tour because of the headset option. Those were so helpful but what really made the experience was Paul our tour guide and Jose the driver. Jose was very polite and helpful, he got out of the bus a couple times to make sure we could all cross safely. Paul was so informative and helpful! You can really tell he truly cares about the memorials and the history. Any memorial we stopped at that had trash on the ground, he would stop to pick it up and throw it away. He also took great pictures of everyone! Even going as far as to get down on the ground to make sure he got the memorial in the shot!

Would recommend

Steven_M, Oct 2022

The guide was very informative and helpful. We saw all the major monuments. The bus was very comfortable.
