Hidden gem, great guide

This bus tour was amazing!! We saw everything we wanted to see, had plenty of time to take pictures and the small amount of walking was extremely doable! The tour guide was knowledgeable and charismatic, Mr. Map I believe was his name, how fitting. I was concerned with choosing a lesser known tour but honestly this one cannot be beat. We had a great time.
Good Primer

Lincoln memorial. To experience the hugeness of the statue was very impressive.
To see all the important statues and buildings during the tour with all the important info is a good start of your stay!

The tour was amazing. I traveled with my elderly mother and Toy and Josh our tour guide and driver were incredible!! They were so accommodating as my mother has to travel with a walker. Josh was informative and always shared how many steps we would need to take to help us gage each stop. My mother was graciously welcomed to stay in the air conditioned van, which made things very comfortable for us all! Highly recommend, our tour guide Josh was a walking encyclopedia as well.

Very helpful bus driver. Guide was courteous and knowledgeable. We would have preferred a smaller group, seems like we were always waiting on some to return on a timed stop.

We were only in Washington for the day and had a tour of the Capitol at 1:20. We went on the tour for 3 hrs. They were very accommodating letting us off an hour early.We enjoyed seeing the highlights of Washington and being able to get off the bus for most of them. It was a great way to see the highlights of DC quickly! Our guide, Thomas, was excellent, and our busdriver( Toya?) was outstanding. They were thoughtful and fun! Loved it!

The Lincoln and Korean Memorials were the most impactful. We really appreciated Larry and Calvin. They did a great job of keeping us on schedule and parking close to our designated pick up points. The cold water bottles were a life saver.

Sightseeing in an air conditioned coach van is the best way to see the wonderful monuments around DC. Especially in the summer! No need to worry about trying to find a place to park or fight traffic.
We had an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and was a real trooper in the heat. Our driver did a great job and had plenty of cold water on hand.
I highly recommend seeing DC this way!

Great overview of some of the main attractions in DC. Washington monument, Jefferson memorial, WWII memorial, Korean War memorial, Martin Luther King memorial, and Vietnam war memorial are all included on this tour. The White House and reflecting pool were also on this tour. Guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. Price of the tour was reasonable.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
