It was an OK tour. If you have ever been to NYC at Christmas, then going to DC is going to be a bit disappointing. And that is probably my issue with this tour. It was nice and they did take us to all the places in the city that were decorated. It just wasnt alot of Christmas cheer like you expect and the stops at each place were short lived. Our guide seemed a bit fixated on racial/political issues during his narration which kind of ruined it for me. I think without that I could give it a 4, but I probably wouldnt do this tour again.
My family of three adults very much enjoyed this nighttime tour. It was a nice evening event to see the holiday lights.
Our tour provided us, with each stop, to leave the tour bus and enjoy up close all the wonderful Christmas light arrangements. Including taking pictures of it all! A total pleasure!
Great tour! Loved seeing all the different Christmas trees. Our tour guide gave great information on holiday facts and traditions that represent each tree!
Derek was great! Me and my family had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend individuals or couples and families.
I am currently in a wheelchair and we had some issues getting to the bus on time. They called us and they had a van wait for myself and my 3 other family members. They then drove us to the tour and the bus we'd be on. The driver Sean and tour guide Derick were amazing and never made me feel rushed
Loved seeing all the holiday lights. Liked the driver and guide. The guide spoke fast so missed quite a bit of information and could not always hear him but I did like him. He took some great pictures for/of us.
Elvis and our driver were polite, respectful, knowledgeable and very entertaining!!! It was a very fun and beautiful tour!!!
A beautiful Christmas tour of a beautiful city! Very knowledgeable tour guide with lots of fun facts. Highly recommend!
