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.

What travellers are saying
- Taylor GNashville, TN17 contributionsI think his name was Deon?? The tour guide was super knowledgable and funny!! He was a DC local and you could tell he loved this job. He had so many fun facts. Also it was freezing and icy but he made sure to keep us safe and warn us when a path was dangerous. I would highly recommend this!Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- peggy f4 contributionsWe had seen the majority of the stops in the daylight. Was nice to see them in a different perspective at night. Due to the upcoming Inauguration and security fencing being put up, we were unable to get as close to several areas, but it was still a great experience.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- john w16 contributionsOur tour of the Capital building was very good. Our tour guide James gave us lots of information about the Capitol building and the Supreme Court, which we toured in the place of the Library of Congress, which was closed due to a special event.
The tour ended about a half hour early and we did not get to actually go into the Supreme Court room, but only into the building, some of its spaces, and hallways. So I think the tour with the library of congress could have been better. But overall, still a very good tour.Written 6 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Daniel K1 contributionThe tour guide and driver were fantastic - Sam and Silvia - overall everything was very good - I just thought having an 80 minute lunch break at a mall was excessively long for a 6 hour tour. More touring and less lunching is my recommendation.Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Noelle TChicago, IL2 contributionsWe had a great experience. Very clear meet up point and instructions.. Dustin was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable.. we learned quite a lot! We saw all the monuments with exception to the White House which is blocked off due to the inauguration. Even though it was a cold winter night, we really enjoyed it all! We highly recommend this tour👍🏼Written 16 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- MarianoFlorida, Argentina5 contributionsOur visit to Arlington Cemetery was great. Derrick, our guide, gave us a lot of interesting information. He was very nice and made the tour enjoyable. I highly recommend him!Written 5 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AlexJCharlton2 contributionsDevaughon was super friendly! The tour was quite informative, but the stops weren't very convenient for anyone staying outside of the downtown.Written 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Shawn L11 contributionsAmazingly cold out and we were extremely happy to have tickets ahead of time! It was so easy to get on, even ahead of our scheduled time, so we were VERY happy we had tickets purchased ahead of time! And we Highly recommend!Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bonniemckinneyChattanooga, TN5 contributionsMost of the drivers were very informative and kind. We really liked Sarge for his great knowledge and respect he gave to all passengers. The stops were helpful and the buses did run about every 15-20mins. The drawbacks were the very little info on where to park to get on the bus. We came on a Sunday and we believe that all parking garages were closed which would have been immensely helpful to know ahead of time. I also want to give feedback on one particular driver who said her name was “Miss Behaving”. She had good knowledge but she was extremely rude to other passengers when they were laughing. I totally understand and agree with the policy of keeping the noise and chatter to a minimum so that we can all hear the drivers’ commentary, that is important BUT she could have asked people to be quiet in a much more respectful way rather than embarrassing them and being unkind.Written 30 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TraciArgyle, TX7 contributionsOur driver/tour guide created the BEST experience ever! So knowledgeable of the area, and history!! This is the way to go!!

- Aithnie W1 contributionI booked before xmas last for myself and my cousin to go on the Walking Tour in Shaftesbury. Having lived their a long time I thought it would be fun to see if they knew anything fun about the place or heard stories I hadn't. We were taken with a lovely Lady called Fiona, she handed out devices and dowsing rods, which I took and you could certainly feel them being pulled round. My cousin tried the headphones and she did hear voices and was having a fun chat with whoever was on the other end, not sure who but the names of Ann and Di came through. I think we were able to clue the lady in on a few things as we've seen many changes. She said there was going to be another one in the summer, when we hope we can get to an old churchyard and down Pine Walk, which is where I've heard for years the ghost of a Monk should be seen/felt. We will book again and look forward to it. Highly recommended. Spoken to cousin and she enjoyed it too.Written 17 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paula V1 contributionThe tour was beautiful! Joel was very knowledgeable, giving us very interesting information. He had a good sense of humor too and seemed to understand the importance of these monuments to our democracy.Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
