INCREDIBLE tour!! Best guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

I was able to experience this tour with my dad, and I am so grateful NICK was our tour guide! He was charming, hilarious, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city! I thought I knew everything about the monuments, but he had me cackling along with all the fun trivia! Definitely worth it, I felt the timing of each of the monuments was exactly perfect as well. Even though we were shivering from the 30 degree weather, the luxury bus was perfectly heated and kept us warm. Lunch was delicious and every stop along the way was perfect. LOVED IT!

Nick is extremely knowledgeable about our country's' history and the presidents. He's very humorous, and absolutely delightful. He made the experience outstanding! Not to miss. Highly recommend!!

The excursion was a 8 hr...

The excursion was a 8 hr tour of the monuments and historical sites of Washington DC. Our tour guide Nick was very knowledgeable about all the areas that we had visited. He interacted with his group by asking questions to see who knew what about various places and he would answer questions about the historical sites with wit and humor. The tour was very interesting and worthwhile. I would recommend it to those visiting DC.

Monumental day

Nick and driver Calvin were awesome! Nick was very knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller. Great dad jokes. Calvin was gracious and helpful. We’d recommend them to other travelers looking for a little history.
