Great sampling of all the memorials . Would have liked to spend more then 15 minutes at the World War 2 memorial especially since we got back to our original destination 1/2 hour before our scheduled time that was listed .

We took the DC Highlight Tour on May 2. It was excellent! The tourguide (lady) was very friendly, funny, and she gave us a lot of knowledge about US history and all the little details I never knew of about all the memorials & statuses. The driver was very kind & generous, too. Unfortunately, I forget their names, but one thing I remember is I was on the bus number 38. I would definitely come back if I ever have a chance to to go there; and also recommend people to enjoy their time with this company. Thank you so so much for such a wonderful service you provided us. I definitely will go back when I have a chance in the future.Angelo_P
