Seeing the changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was the highlight. It was moving and inspirational to see all the monuments and memorials.

Mark, our driver was very prompt and had a very nice car. We were able to see all the monuments and had plenty of time but it was a bit disappointing in the history and knowledge of them. I felt like we were in a taxi instead of an actual tour. It was just ok. We had another tour the next evening...

I felt like we were in a taxi instead of an actual tour. It was just ok. We had another tour the next evening at night with another company and we learned more in 20 minutes than we did on this tour.Tim_O

Michelle was a wonderful guide and was extremely accommodating to my husband's disability and changing the schedule accordingly. The Lincoln ans Vietnam Memorials were our favorites.
