Fun and educational tour of Washington DC
We took our family vacation this year to Washington DC to celebrate our nation's 250th. Ayana, our guide, was excellent! We had our adult children as well as our grandchildren there for the tour. Ayana was interactive and fun during the tour. We all enjoyed it and learned a lot about our nation's history. Highly recommend Untold DC Tours & Tales.

while staying in Washington DC with our company several of us used this limousine company to do a tour of DC. Our driver Gabriele was our driver but also very knowledgeable of DC and drove us right up to see the different sites and gave us so much information about things we were seeing. the whole experience using this company and our driver was amazing, 495 limousine service was the BEST!!

Great FREE museum visit for singles and families
Each different gallery was a marvellous change. The Hope Diamond was amazing as were all the other jewels. I was able to watch the tarantula lunch time feeding session. Scary how quick it was getting a grasshopper! The resteraunt was great too with sustainability at the heat of the menu with quite diverse food offerings at a very good price. Go early as it sells out quickly.

DC Monuments: Private Walking Tour
Sightseer579234, Jul 2024
FUN AND INFORMITIVE!
I was there for a convention called Awesomecon and wanted to see the city and monuments since I had never seen DC.She was very easygoing during the tour and knew a great amount of information on the city and monuments. She also would wait for everyone to finish taking pictures of each monument and had good angles on what shot may look good as well as what time of day would be the best for what type of picture or theme I wanted to take.Shelley also made sure not to walk or talk too fast about the facts about each one. If I had further questions on a monument, she would gladly explain. To add onto that thaught, her tours are easy to understand.

Easy to plan last minute
I had seen some of these items when I was 16 so I had an appreciation for them. As moving as the Korea and ?Vietnam memorials were, I enjoyed the FDR memorial most. I planned this last minute trip and two friends wanted to come along even after my last minute. Cool Washington DC tours made this easy to plan as I had confidence in them, having used them several times, that my friends would enjoy the tours and appreciate my planning. I could not have done this without Cool Washington DC.

I am a travel agent & booked the tour for a family of 8 pax +. From the start Mishelle was extremely patient in working on the plan & replied on all the messages. It was very comforting and convenient to deal with her. I booked tours and transfers for 9 days & everything went very well & well planned. I would definitely recommend continental city tours in future.
