Bless His Heart

The driver did his best despite a sound system that didn’t work and the national Guard rerouting us onto the highway due to an incident. I would try it again when the monuments are more accessible.

Fernando is the best!

Fernando was the best! My parents visited from out of town and enjoyed the tour. My wife and I also learned new facts about DC that we didn't know and have lived here nearly 5 years. He is a wealth of knowledge and makes the tour one of the best we have ever done. If you can request him, do so!

Good tour bad timing to go around DC

This tour it self is a great way to see DC at night, but would of been a lot better if we weren’t here during the 250 4th of July week long celebration where streets and stops were blocked off everywhere and you couldn’t get too or see other sites to well. If you’re not going to be in DC during a major holiday I would recommend this tour. A side note about this tour my wife and I are bigger and taller than 5”9’ people so, the golf cart we went in had theses roll up flaps that kind of obstructed our view during the tour and the seating was tight. The tour guide she was Fantastic!!!

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that your guide was fantastic and that you enjoyed seeing DC at night. During July 4th celebration week, many roads and stops were blocked, which affected the route and views. Our carts are larger than regular carts, but we understand that comfort can be different for each guest. We appreciate your comments and will use them to improve.

Horrible experience

Most horrific “tour” I’ve ever been on! Driver had zero idea of where he was going. Was constantly looking at his phone…completely unsafe. No turn signals used. Hitting and up on curbs. Then to top off the whole experience he drove onto the EXPRESS WAY in basically a GOLF CART not to mention there were 2 kids on the back!!! There is nowhere to get off that is safe right now so I’m stuck on this nightmare. I want 150% of my money back!

Operator response

We are truly sorry for your experience and completely understand your concerns. Safety is extremely important to us, and this situation is not acceptable or representative of our company standards. Due to unexpected road closures, your guide had to adjust the route and took you safely out of the situation. We took your feedback seriously, immediately reviewed everything with the driver, and you have received your refund. We sincerely apologize again for the stress and inconvenience this caused you and your family.
