An amazing day!! Our guide was Mary and she smiled all day long and knew everything and was amazing!! It was the best way to see Washington DC as we were only in town for 24 hours. Free water bottles on the bus was an added bonus and I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Washington DC

My husband and I took my parents to DC, it was their first time there (they are 78 and 83 years old). The Viator website was easy to use and infomative. We can't say enough good things about our guide, Chris Scott. He was friendly, knowledgeable and interesting. This day tour was a great way to see the majority of the monuments. We liked that Chris got off the bus with us and gave us intersting facts about what we were seeing as well as giving us time to take pictures and look around on our own.
There was quite a bit of walking at a few points for my elderly parents.
This is a very good orientation tour. I thought we would only stop for photos, but we actually had time to visit the WWII, Jefferson, Vietnam Veterans, Lincoln, Korean and Iwo Jima Memorials. While we only toured the exteriors of the Capitol, White House and Washington Monument, our tour guide, Brian, provided interesting information at every stop. We also liked the cruise and lunch on the Potomac. We were very pleased with this tour.

I was dubious at first as the bus hadn't left by 10.15 and the bus had several broken seats so people were switching around a lot. However once we were up an running, it was a great tour!
Our driver Mr Jones was very good at navigating the streets and tight turns and our guide Dion was very knowledgeable and professional.
We went to all the sights you would want to see in one day and were given info about each building/memorial before getting there. We also learnt lots about the city and its history along the way.
The boat cruise was probably my least favourite, although it was nice to sit and relax for a while and the guided commentary was good - although you couldn't hear it if you were outside taking photos!
The optional $10 lunch for the boat was really good - you could get a salad or a sandwich or a wrap (and they had a lot of choices even though i was near the back of the line) as well as crisps, a cookie and a cold drink.
I think we had just enough time for an avid photographer such as myself to race around each of the monuments snapping away.

Guide, driver and tour were great. Very disappointed we didn;t "hop off" at the Jefferson Memorial as advertised.
