Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Tanya KGilbert, AZ10 contributionsThoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Capitol & Library of Congress. James is a veritable font of knowledge with a fabulous sense of humor. James was also able to give lunch recommendations in the area and information on visiting the wharf, all of which we appreciated greatly.
My husband and I learned so much on this tour and definitely would recommend Unscripted Tours to others. On future trips to Washington DC we plan to join other tours offered Unscripted Tours.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our driver was so fun and personable, and our tour guide was so nice and well informed. I've been on a few yours but this was definitely the best one because of the nice transportation and in-depth knowledge of the tour guide. Would absolutely recommend, especially for first-time DC folks!Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CJNIllinois28 contributionsGreat tour and guide was amazing. Need larger trolley stops signs as it was hard to find. Really incredible viewing of so many sights.Written 1 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- jonworldLondon, UK1,853 contributionsTook this tour as we were very short of time

met at Grand Union Station at Melinda
Very relaxed and informative as she was able to drive and stop all the way down the National Mall. It was pre election snd the skies were blue
The tour was very informative and she allowed lots of stops for is to wonder off and take photographs.
At the end of the Tour she dropped is in Georgetown for a great Lunch
We then walked back to Union station to get our train via the river
Highly recommendedWritten 2 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I took my older parents and he made sure that he went at a speed they could keep up with. We truly enjoyed it and our son enjoyed asking Ron a million questions which he graciously answered. Highly recommend itWritten 29 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Teresa MSouth Saint Paul, MN4 contributionsDustin on DC moonlight mall tour was wonderful. Very informative, took us to all of the top spots, plus pointed out others not on this itinerary. Shuttle bus was clean, warm and spacious. Well worth the price.Written 8 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie C2 contributionsOur tour guide, Nick, was great! He was an expert guide and storyteller and very personable. We saw so much and learned so much about DC and our country's history! I only wish I had booked this tour for the beginning of our trip so we would have had a better idea of where everything was and what other places we might want to go during our unscheduled time in DC.Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Julie C2 contributionsOur tour guide, Ingeborg, seemed very knowlegeable and was a great storyteller. We enjoyed seeing and learning the history of Georgetown. There were a few times I wish I could have gotten better pictures but I wasn't prepared and the group was moving on very quickly. It was cold, so that might be why it was moving so fast. But I would just warn people who want pics to be prepared and get them quickly or you'll get left behind. Also, people should be aware that it's a fairly vigorous walk, some going uphill, so you need to make sure you are physically able to do it.Written 7 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I whole heartedly recommend this service. We felt very safe and well taken care of.Written 9 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
