Things to do in Washington DC

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Washington. Our tour guide, Allan, and our driver, Carlos, shared so many impressions and important information with us all. A big thank you to both of them for the super insight into the capital city. P.S. They both have a great eye for photo spots. Greetings from the late Germans 😅🤗

Although the tour was a bit pricey without any promotion and felt a little rushed since we had to cover all the spots in just one day, we really enjoyed the trip thanks to Carlos — a very energetic, humorous, and knowledgeable tour guide.

Since we were the only ones in the group who signed up for the Chinese tour, and we happened to have a tour guide, Benjamin, who could speak Chinese, it felt like we had personal service. The overall introduction was excellent. Although there were some initial awkward moments with Chinese grammar, he consciously adjusted as he went along, making it easy to understand. He also recommended many attractions, explained tipping etiquette, provided insights into the local history and culture, and suggested New York restaurants. He even helped us take photos. This tour is definitely a great choice for traveling with elders, highly recommended! The only drawback was that it coincided with the visit of the President of Ukraine, so the area around the White House was heavily secured. We could only see it from a distance, and it took us a while to find several spots to get even that distant view.

I used the 24-hour ticket over two days, and it was really fulfilling, fun, and great! However, there were many stops that were confusingly marked, so I got a bit lost on the first day. Definitely install the Big Bus app first and use it!!!

Nick was an absolute gem of a tour guide! He had us laughing throughout the day with his witty humor, and his explanations of the places we visited were clear, insightful, and genuinely interesting. He made the experience not just educational but truly enjoyable. You can tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it shows in the way he connects with the group. Highly recommended!

The tour was very informative and comprehensive. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The places are very historical. I learned a lot from the history of the US. I will definitely recommend this tour.

Yoyo is amazing and places are beautiful. Yoyo was kind to offer me her gloves help me feel warm and cozy. Her English communication is very nice and informative. We will recommend Yoyo to our friends.

Itinerary: Lunch on both the first and second days is scheduled at Wegmans supermarket. Although it's called a supermarket, it sells a wide variety of prepared foods. The sushi selection is extensive and delicious. The supermarket offers a dining area and a microwave. It's a great place to have lunch!

Well organised and a funny guide who brought Washington DC to life. It was a bit chilly as the windows were open and the weather was unseasonably cool.
