Overall the tour was pretty good but it was a shame we couldn’t get closer to the White House due to all the construction. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
It was extremely hot. I thought it was a ride and see your but it was walking. There was no place to purchase water along the way. Our guide walked so fast and talked before we all gathered to hear her information and then never really left time for pictures! I was disappointed.
Weather was dangerously hot and because of 4th of July could not get to Pennsylvania Avenue to see White House. My wife actually over heated and we had to drop out for her safety. I would ask for refund if possible. I will say the guide was nice. Even the main 250th fair closed because of the dangerous heat. The 4th of July parade was also canceled because of the heat. This tour should have been canceled.
Check the weather, check what was really happening coz a lot of road and places were closed and the weather was so hot, all that walking in the heat was enough for a person to pass out. Had to leave the group coz couldn’t tolerate the walking with temps of 100s.
We didn’t get near the White House. Barricades and fences kept us from being anywhere near it. It was VERY disappointing!!!
The White House is not a part of this tour. It should be renamed. Other than that, it’s a grand way to see the city and learn a bit Our guide, Cassie, is AMAZING and energetic…. We just really wanted to see the White House since that was the name of the tour …?
Be prepared for a long walk. It is mostly level with some stairs. The tour guide was exceptional with a world of information
Daniel was a great tour guide! Very knowledgeable. For those wanting an informed and pleasurable walking trip Daniel provided a great experience
Well informed and very prepared. Daniel was early and has years of experience living in the DC area and leading tours.
Josh the travel guide of Let’s Go City Tours did not show up to the meeting place! We were there 45 minutes early after rushing to leave our hotel and make it to the meeting location. There were several others waiting there with us. The Viator group was told a false story by Josh that he had a group of 15 that went on to tour. That is not true and Viator has said we could not get a refund. This was a horrible experience and we will never use this tour group again. Not worth your time to book and have the disappointment.
