Quick Guide of DC
Linda_S, Sept 2025
It’s a quick view of sites you can back to if you want to spend more time. Informative. Enjoyed the cruise on the Potomac River.
Fast paced tour
Nancy_Z, Sept 2025
You cover a lot of territory and this tour is fast paced and on the move. It’s great for those who want to get a good grasp of what’s available and then go tour specifics on your own. James and Chris keep a tight schedule.
Great!
