Great Tour Guide
Kristyne_S, Apr 2024
Tour guide and driver were great! The bus was nice, clean, and comfortable. Our package was to include hotel pickup, which did not happen and we had to get a ride. Also, we paid for an upgrade to the Washington monument. Again, this was to include a drop off that did not happen. Tickets to the monument are free. That part was a complete scam. Do not buy the upgrades.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for choosing us and sorry about your issues. First to make it clear, we do not offer hotel pickup so whoever gave you that info, obviously gave you wrong information. as far as the Washington monument, on our website it's stated 'self-guided tour', meaning once you got the ticket, you're on your own.
Glad I did this tour.
Janis_R, Apr 2024
Our tour guide was ?Lynn. I hope I got his name right. He has a lovely voice, knows his history and kept us moving but not too quickly. You could hear his reverence for the monuments in his tone. Thanks for a memorable tour.
A Special Monument Moment
Nancy_B, Apr 2024
I am a woman veteran and seeing the statue dedicated to the women who served in Viet Nam was very powerful. I live in the area, so had seen many of the other monuments but my family had not. They were impressed by the number of monuments we saw. James, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and Chris our driver was excellent. I would have given the tour 5 stars except it did not use audio sets and it was frequently difficult to hear the guide.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you so much for taking the tour and bringing the family. We appreciate you taking the time to share your impressions too. Sorry about the audio issue. We'll make sure to look into it.

Tyrone was a great guide who had a lot of city fun facts that I didn’t know before. Great number of monuments seen and there was a good amount of time given to wander.

Disorganized and not what we paid for.
Eric_G, Mar 2024
Tour guide left my family and two other families at the Lincoln Memorial. Did not answer his phone. Got my time admission tickets for another museum museum right before the actual time so couldn't use them. Highly not recommended.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sorry to hear about your experience. Can you please email us with the tour date and the guide name so we can investigate? We value your feedback and strive to provide great service to all of our guests.
A Definite Must-Do Tour
Joel_F, Mar 2024
Great experience. We ran late but our guide Ty and driver Chris were nice enough to wait for 5 min. The tour was fun, informative, with just enough facts and free time to explore on our own. Would highly recommend doing a Signature tour early during your visit to Wash DC. Thx again Ty and Chris😉

Great tour - worth the money.
CATHERINE_S, Jan 2024
Excellent tour. I was able to see more in DC and understand some very important nuances at each stop that I would have missed if I had done this on my own. There is a good amount of walking even though the tour drove us to each location. The tour took 3 hours not 2, so be prepared and flexible with your time. Transportation was in a 15 passenger van which was spacious and comfortable however the door malfunctioned frequently. Our tour guide was knowledgeable but NEVER political which I appreciated.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
Thank you for your comment. I'm happy to hear that our team provided you with excellent service. I'll make sure that they receive your feedback. I'm sure it will make their day! Malaak
Viator customer service - non-existent
Rayya_R, Jan 2024
The tour and experience were great. Loved the tour guide. However, Viator customer service is nonexistent. I reached out on two occasions for a request and question regarding payment and didn’t even hear a response back.
Response from Host, Jan 2024
We are glad you enjoyed the tour with us. As you know we are the provider. We are signature Tours who provided the tour but we cannot control Viator customer service. Thank you for taking the time to review. Please visit us directly at www.signaturetoursdc.com for our customer service email and phone number. Thanks again!

Jacqueline_B, Sep 2023
In the web page it said it was included complimentary hotel pick up. Once I paid, the receipt said hotel pickup was not included. I chat with Jansen and assured me it was included, but later 2 more agents said it was excluded. That it is not trustful. The guide instead of giving historic important details, made a lot funnyless "jokes". Not nice.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Hello ma’am thanks for your feedback. We believe there has been a mistake as we do not provide hotel pickup services and we also do not have an employee by the name of Jansen. Please make sure to book online at at the correct address of signaturetoursdc.com and call us at the provided phone number on the website for any questions regarding the tour.

An awesome tour
Christy_S, Aug 2023
This was the best experience, and we loved our tour guide! She was so full of knowledge, and gave us some really neat things to think about with history and how our nation was formed. With three children and hot weather, the air conditioning bus ride was perfect and just the right amount of time at each stop. I would highly recommend this to anyone with kids as well, wanting to see many places in a short amount of time!

Informative, fast paced
MANDY_M, Jul 2023
James was very knowledgeable. It was super fast paced. The awesome thing was getting to see the presidential chopper land on the south lawn and seeing all the vets and a metal recipient. Really gave perspective
