I just did this tour last night in DC. Smiley was our tour guide and he was absolutely amazing! He had us laughing the entire time, he was engaged yet very informative. I'd definitely recommend this tour and Smiley as your tour guide if you decide to do it! Wonderful experience - I learned so much!

Wonderful experience!! This is a fantastic tour for all ages. You can do as much or as little walking as you'd like. I'm originally from the DC area and was back visiting. Ramin was our driver and tour guide, and he was both informative and funnier than expected. He pointed out all the landmarks, as well as the bathrooms and the ice truck—little things that made the tour special. We really enjoyed seeing D.C.’s monuments beautifully lit up at night—from Lincoln to MLK to Iwo Jima 🇺🇸. I definitely recommend giving this tour a try!

Absolute must. I've read reviews and someone said you need to seat on the right side of the bus. Thank you for this advice. Yes, most of the object will be on your right side. Don't forget mosquito protection and try to cover your legs, there are a lot of spots near water and mosquitoes are beasts. I took a 7.30pm tour and we saw a beautiful sunset as we move. Great drivers with great stories and enough time to come closer to monuments and take as many pictures. I'm so happy that I took this tour. And follow the instructions. If it says arrive at 7pm you better be there at this time if you want to get good seats.
