Our tour guide, Byron, was outstanding. He was both informative and entertaining. Everyone on board seemed to enjoy him, including his trivia questions and singing. Patty, who was in charge of getting everyone lined up and checked in, was great also. She also has the patience of an angel to convince people who didn't want to do what she said to change their mind and follow the rules. She always had a smile on her face.

Big Red was funny and awesome. We marveled at how expertly amd seemlessly she maneuvered the bus , at night, on some very dark streets and moderate traffic. The pop quizs and stories about people and buildings along the tour were wonderful. The stops and stops times, in my opinion, were just right. Overall, a great experience.

MJ was an excellent tour guide. He made the trip engaging with historical facts and personal insights from his own experiences. I especially appreciated how he kept us encouraged through the rain. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting DC.
