Great experience, loved all the knowledge that was shared by our guide Tyrone McBride. This was so much better than going it alone where you wouldn’t necessarily get all the historical back stories.

Explore Washington DC’s top landmarks and monuments on a 3-hour Morning Monuments Guided Sightseeing Tour. Ride on a deluxe air-conditioned coach with full narration from an expert guide. Stop outside 10 top memorials including the White House, Martin Luther King Jr Memorial, US Capitol Building, Lincoln Memorial, and more. You'll have time to take photos and explore the area with your guide, who shares the history and little-known facts about the nation’s capitol. With so much to see and so little time, guests can take a memorable journey through DC that is quick, efficient and entertaining. Travelers may also opt to extend their tour to include a guided walk of Capitol Hill with entry to the U.S. Capitol building. This option begins at 8am and your city tour will follow right after. Upgrade options available at checkout to include self-guided entry tickets to either the Washington Monument, Air & Space Museum, African American Museum.

No Cherry Blossoms as the weather had removed all of them from the trees along the river. Travel all the way to DC and no Cherry Blossoms to view from the bad weather.
David_L
Experience was pleasurable and Tyrone was an excellent guide and source of information. The only downside was we were as advertised unable to see the WW2 memorial because of time constraints, because of protests causing traffic delays. This to me was important since my Dad was a veteran of that war.

Great tour with a great guide! Saw many things in a timeframe we couldn’t have done it without help. Being our first time here in DC this was a great start to our trip.

Purchases the cherry blossom tour with the capital and tour of the library of congress. Well they seemed clueless about it. For what we paid it was the package deal. They offered us to “give us” tickets to the library of congress. Well when it’s purchased and you are offering to give them to us, how is that a deal. I had even picked a time which was 2:00 after our morning tour was done. We would have never even made it because of how long the morning tour went. We were offered to even get the tour refunded and I should have just done that. Tyrone was good and knowledgeable but not worth what was paid. Would definitely not purchase a tour with them again. I attached a picture of the tour we purchased and definitely did not get it.
