Great tour and the guide was very knowledgeable. Just got dropped off 2 hrs early for the Washington's monument. Long waite
Nikole_D
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.
Dan M
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.
