Best Tour even in bad weather
Marisol M,,Jan 27, 2026

5.00I booked the tour on Sat the 24th for a Sunday the 25th and due to inclement weather coming into DC on Jan 25th Chris contacted me and offered 2 different tours instead on Saturday in lieu of cancellation. We took them and I was very happy with the alternate plan. Chris and Sally did a great job with the night tour and in 19 degree weather we were able to experience a full tour of the city and key spots that I didn’t know we could have under those circumstances. I had a 10 year old and we were not disappointed with our trip thanks to them. Next time I come back I’m def contacting them for more tours.
Valuable experiences await

1.00We were text the night before the tour was cancelled and to reach out for a refund. We reached out for our refund and still haven’t heard back. There were also several other tours still running that day. I’d say shop around tour buses before choosing.
Got canceled last minute

1.00Trip canceled last minute. My family and I waited at the meeting spot for an hour before calling customer service. I paid almost $300 only to have to plan last minute with another tour company. Im very disappointed. I looked forward to this for months.
