Very knowledgeable staff , easy comfortable ride. Picked up on time. Great spots visited and great detail about each one and More

The drivers were excellent….friendly + informative. Great way to see the sights.

Check local schedule of events that might interfere with tour—road closures, renovations, holiday hours.

Great way to see a good number of the major DC monuments. Our guide, Fernando, was an enthusiastic story teller, enjoyed that a lot.Especially since the tour is after sunset, all the monuments are lighted up, and looks very pretty. Also, it’s a lot less busy than during daytime we noticed, so it’s easier to look at the monuments and take pictures.

this is a wonderful all-around experience of seeing many special sites in Washington Washington DC. It really helps to get an opportunity to see what I want to see and plan accordingly.

Very professional and well coordinated tour. Couldn't fault them. Staff answered my query regarding child seats promptly.

Sally and Godfrey are wonderful host and driver. Knowledgeable and very patient allowing ample time at each monument stop.

we had a great time touring DC yesterday - the golf cart tour was perfect- hit the main landmarks with some time for pictures- would highly recommend

This is a hidden gem tour. So many interesting tidbits. Local folklore about people in history that you just don’t get on a regular tour. If you’re looking for short activity, not too much walking, enough stops to keep you entertained, and walk away with something you didn’t know before, this is a great option.

Andrew was a great tour guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Tony dod a great job driving. 10/10 for this tour.

I had a wonderful experience which I will never forget. It was great.

We had a party of 7 (4 adults, 1 teen and 2 kids). The open air feel was perfect, great night. I have done many bus tours but the open top was worth it. Our driver and Elvis were great. We enjoyed seeing all the sites. Some walking required. Highly recommend!

It’s a great tour if you want to see most of the major monuments in DC in one day. A convenient and enjoyable way to experience the city’s highlights!

The views are amazing from the top. This would be a great first day in DC tour. You can get a great layout of the mall area and have a better idea where things are located. Buying tickets through Cool Washington DC is the way to go. We didn’t want to go early and wait in line for the free ones and then be disappointed if you weren’t able to go see it. Your time is valuable. Lots to see.

It was fabulous and the driver was very friendly and knowledgeable! Really enjoyed the experience!!!

Driver/moderator was very good almost amazing. Really enjoyed the experience to see the downtown area and see the monuments/memorials.
