Great tour

Our tour guide, Alicia, was excellent. She gave us lots of information in a professional manner. Alicia introduced ideas and observations to enhance our experience. Calvin was an excellent coach driver. He had a fun banter with our fellow passengers, offered water to us every time we exited the bus. They were a great team and we saw and learned so much about Washington, DC in four hours! Thank you!! - Kris S

Very well organized process

Really enjoyed the 4 hour DC Highlights tour. Very well organized process. Arrived to our pick up point early & a DC Tours driver invited us & others to sit on his bus out of the rain. Our guide Alicia & driver Joe did a great job. Learned a lot & felt very comfortable even with the rain. - Tscan

Our guide was informative and dependable

My husband was skeptical at first since it was a bus tour and I was worried we wouldn't get enough time at our stops, BUT it was great! I felt like there was a perfect amount of time to look and take pictures and even, when available, to stop at the gift shops. Our guide was informative and dependable. The complimentary water was great and we appreciated the access to free ponchos since it was a heavy sprinkle off an on during our tour. The bus was great, the perfect temperature and the seats are comfortable. - Cecilia B

Took the Highlights tour today and in spite of rain, (tour provided rain ponchos) it was wonderful. Our guide Nona and driver Maggie made a great team. Nona had a wealth of information delivered with a keen sense of humor. I highly recommend this tour and if you get lucky, Nona and Maggie as your hosts!

This was a great tour with a great guide. We did this tour in the evening after we flew in. It was the perfect kick off to our first trip to DC. It gave us a good idea about how everything is laid out and helped us decide what to do with the rest our time.

Omg!! I highly recommend USA Guided Tours! My husband and I did the night time tour of DC and it was almost. Ed who was our driver, made sure that we stay hydrated and Alicia, who is the tour guide, was the hostess with mistress…lol! She was very informative, funny, and interactive! I love her spirit. When we come back to DC and do another tour, I only want Alicia and Ed!!!

FAQs

Why type of buses does USA Guided Tours use?

Our luxury tour buses provide a comfortable and climate-controlled environment for an enjoyable touring experience, while also offering protection from the elements. We cater to various group sizes with a diverse fleet of vehicles, from SUVs to premium motor-coaches, ensuring that our private tours can be customized for couples or large groups alike. To maintain a more intimate atmosphere on our public tours, we intentionally limit the capacity of our tour buses to keep the average group size small.
We do our best to keep large, same-party groups together on the same bus, but please remember that the seating is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Once you claim your seats – they’re reserved only for you for the duration of the tour.

Are we allowed to bring luggage on the tour?

Unfortunately, our shuttles are not wheelchair accessible, nor is there storage for baby strollers. If you have a wheelchair, please call us to make special vehicle arrangements for your tour. Some of our tours involve longer walks so if you like, you may stay on board the shuttle, near the landmark, without exiting the shuttle bus every time.
