Very well organised. From pick up and back. Nice guide and driver. Very family friendly trip.
We did a day trip from NYC to Washington D.C. The tour was great and everything was well explained. We stopped at many famous sights (such as the White House and the Capitol), and everywhere we had the chance to take photos as a souvenir. In addition, we were given lots of background information about the history of America and Washington D.C. The weather was extremely hot—over 30°C (86°F). Since you walk a lot and there isn’t always shade, it’s very important to carry plenty of water in your backpack. The only downside, which wasn’t the organizer’s fault: On the day of our tour, there was a state visit, so we couldn’t get as close to the White House as usual. However, our tour guide still showed us some great spots where we could see as much as possible. Our driver was Mario and our tour guide was Juanita.
No regrets joining this one day trip. We saw what we expected at Washington. The guide is friendly and knowledgeable. We have a safe and friendly driver too.
I came all the way from South Africa with my wife and we are so happy to have taken this tour. The narration, history of each area given was amazing. overall, great tour guiding team.

We wanted to buy something emblematic but we weren't given the opportunity to stop at an established place despite asking the tour guide. The tour guide is friendly, however, he is repetitive in his instructions and makes it very clear that he is doing everything for us and that he wouldn't like to leave us at any stop, etc.
Everything, a very good experience.
It was a wonderful experience. Our guide Carlos was friendly and informative. Thank you for everything 🙏🏼
