Robin_K, Sep 2026
Definitely a must! Start your DC trip here!
Loved the all day tour. Saw all the key locations with the exception of The White House (closed due to security / riot fencing that was up). Tour guides (Sam and Nick) - Nick, especially, exceptional. Informative. Fun. Engaging. Calvin, bus driver, also great guy. Definitely the way to "start" your stay in DC. You see everything and then, if something really intrigues you, you know what to revisit. Do wish there had been more explanation of the USAA National Military Monument (at base of Lincoln Memorial / between that and the Washington Monument) as we discovered the names on the stripes of those 2 erected stone flags the night before we left on another tour and were able to search our fathers' names on it. Would have done it earlier had we known. But the all day tour and time spent on the Potomac was great. We went in late September - great weather!

Sally is the best!
We had a group that filled our bus entirely. Our guide, Sally, handled the large group splendidly. Each of our 41 people gave her and Godfrey an A+. Godfrey’s driving was impressive and Sally’s expertise and communication were top- notch; we could not have had a better tour experience.

Great experience!
Galen was a great host, he was friendly and warm. Galen made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of the entire trip to Gettysburg. Pick up was easy and communication was great before the trip and the morning of. The Gettysburg museum was incredible and the downtown Gettysburg area was great to explore. We had a fantastic tour with Garry the tour guide from Gettysburg museum, he was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The entire day was great and I would definitely recommend this tour. A huge thanks to Galen and Garry!
