DC it lit and beautiful at night and you get a different perspective of the memorials this way.

Nicole_B, Apr 2024

The memorials are just as inspiring at night and seemingly more calm & peaceful with fewer crowds. The tour guide was knowledgeable and kept everything light, even when driving around the city between tour stops. We learned some new DC trivia and had a great evening. The tour started 30 minutes late while we waited for and then drove to pick up latecomers who were also at the wrong meeting point. There were many in the tour, including me, that did not appreciate delaying the tour (and 19 others) for the few who could not follow the explicit directions provided when booking. I do not know if it was because of the late start, but the tour did not include the published itinerary #2 Vietnam Veteran's Memorial and #3 Korean War Memorial. We ended up leaving the tour at the Lincoln Memorial stop so we could see the rest of the memorials in the area.

Great experience

Laurel_P, Apr 2024

Very knowledgeable driver. He took us to the most memorable sites. Great that we could depart to many upclose.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thanks for your review.

Good tour

Melissa_M, Apr 2024

Simon was very rude, loud & crude to us. However, the tour was good & he was an expert driver getting us close to the curb & attractions. I didn't like him but I respected him. And, he was kind enough to drop us off at the hotel rather than the meeting place.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We thank you for your support and review. We promise to take necessary action so that this doesn’t happen again.

100% recommend

Amy_O, Apr 2024

Great Tour

Louie_S, Mar 2024

Great way to see the City all in 3 hours time. Your guide was knowledgeable and lead an informative tour.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you we appreciate your business.

It was OK

Leonard_P, Mar 2024

We enjoyed seeing the sights. Bus was small and a bit cramped. Windows could have been cleaner. Also temperature in the bus was a bit warm for most of the tour. Bus driver gave enlightening historical information and even added a few clever jokes. He was clearly not a Donald Trump fan and said a few derogatory comments about Trump and his administration. I didn’t enjoy that.

MLK monument

Would recommend another tour

Shanon_P, Feb 2024

I have to say that I look at reviews before I book and noticed someone else had the same complaint that I .about to share and the person was assured the tour guide was let go because the behavior was not tolerated and within two minutes of being in the car, I knew this was not true. Bobby immediately made the cowboy bit@#$ joke. I sent my fiance a text and mentioned the review I had read as I'm not confrontational. Though he was knowledged on a lot of history, his focus was more on just the black history of the town. He asked who was the king of presidents and my fiance said George Washington, and he directed the question to me and I just said I didn't know and he said Martin Luther King Jr. He was indeed an amazing part of history and the abolishment of slavery....but never a president. If you are Republican (which I am) and not looking for a tour of primarily the black history of the town, choose another tour. I can do without the cussing. Just because I'm an adult doesn't mean I want to hear it. And I am very disappointed to have realized the resolution of the problem from the previous complaint was a lie. Paid for a thirty minute tour and before we left the hotel where you start he said we won't be out that long. Definitely didn't make me feel great before we even left the parking lot.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Your complaint is being looked into and we shall reach out to you soon.

Bobby was a good...

Ramona_R, Jan 2024

Bobby was a good historian but was rude at times (eg. called cowboys fans cowbi***es and referred to event goers as faggots). Rude comments aside, the historical narrative was really well done.

Patriicia_W, Jan 2024

I lost my primary phone just before the tour but the driver was so encouraging and conscious of my lost that II was still able to enjoy my tour. Thank you!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

We appreciate you and your business.

Great way to see DC at night - great tour!

Kimberli_C, Dec 2023

Tundae was excellent! We hit all the major monuments, but it did not feel rushed or that we missed anything because we stayed any one place too long. He was informative and funny - great mix for the adults and kids. He was very accommodating due to the cold weather and always let us know where a bathroom would be available. We really appreciated his guidance and introduction to the city. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone. Also the tour van was spacious, new and clean.

Simon was excellent. On a smaller vehicle the day before the driver had a microphone. It would’ve been helpful if Simon had one.

A Time & Money Waste

Janet_S, Oct 2023

The guide was unenthusiastic and made a number of factual errors. He referred to FDR repeatedly as “FDR-Roosevelt”. He seemed tired and very much like a last minute substitute. The vehicle was generic & very disappointing.—the windows were filthy & impeded the views. It was not at all the Old Town Trolley we had expected. We felt very much ripped off and left early.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

We thank you for your honest opinion.your concerns shall be address promptly.Thanks

As we were traveling to Lincoln Mem, fireworks exploded in the horizon - what a thrill to see them only a few hours after we had arrived in DC.
