DC Tour with Nick
We really enjoyed our tour with Nick! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and also had some great jokes. Our bus driver was great at navigating all the streets of DC and was also very entertaining. The boat cruise was ok but would have rather went to other places. This is the way to see the important sites and not have to worry about finding parking or driving in DC traffic.

Great way to explore Georgetown
What a great tour and so glad we booked it. Our guide, Carson, walked us round the Georgetown area giving us lots of historical facts, as well as four delicious food choices. We were staying in Washington for four days and we would not have explored this area if it hadn't been for this tour. It really was a nice mix of food and exploring the neighbourhood.

Great time on our food Tour of Georgetown
We had a lot of fun with our group as Carson led us through Georgetown on Saturday and we stopped by 4 locations for a small sampling of their foods! Our favorite was the pierozki. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a DC adventure off the beaten path!

Fun tour with great food.
This is a really great tour. The food is phenomenal and I was actually surprised how big the portions were. All of the venues are places I would absolutely try again. Our guide, Wayne, was great. He had so much history (and he even had photos to accompany the stories) that it really made the tour fun.

Best Tour and Guide-You don’t want to miss!
We had a fantastic time on this tour and it was the best decision we made on the trip. Our driver picked us up directly from the hotel, which was a blessing because we had just gotten into town did mot know our way around yet. Mark was informative and told us things we wouldn’t have otherwise known if we had gone independently. He saved us a lot of walking too because we were dropped off at the entrances to every monument. The air-conditioned Mercedes van was clean, cool, and comfortable. This was definitely worth the money and I will recommend it to all.
