Took an overview tour of the Washington DC area back in early December 2019. Chris was the guide and Rahel was the... driver. I mention them both because they were both attentive throughout the day. Chris took time to assist with the needs of the different groups and kept us entertained, informed and on time. Rahel looked out for our safety through the tour day.The tour experience over all was informative, not rushed and insightful. Chris's knowledge of the sites and some of the underlying stories behind the destinations gave visitors a great understanding of the history of the DC and neighbouring area.Definitely worth the price. From booking the tour, the online staff were accommodating and helpful to the day of the tour, I found the company service oriented and professional. I would attend the tour again!read more

Exceptional Tour! Highly recommended! I booked the DC Highlight Day Tour and had a fabulous time. The bus was super... clean and they supplied bottled water. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, energetic, and provided humor. They allotted the perfect amount of time to take pictures at each attraction. We were also given a 1 hour lunch break at a mall, where there was many options of food to choose from. This wasn't my first time visiting D.C, and this bus tour is the best way to see all of the monuments and buildings, all in one day.read more

My wife and I were on Bus 30 today with Christopher (our tour guide) and Theo (our driver) and it was a first class... experience. This was our Christmas present to ourselves. Worth every cent and more so for those with little knowledge of the area and also American history. Chris had a great personality and he was the consummate professional throughout. The whole experience was well worth the money and we would highly recommend it.read more

Loved DC Highlight tours. My online concerige at Hyatt Place hotel recommended this tour to us and we were so glad we... went. Theo was our driver and Nick was our tour guide. Both have great sense of humor. Nick knew so much about history. He was fountain of knowledge. We really enjoyed the guided tour. Good size group. We have time to stop to visit memorials & monuments. My senior mom walked with cane. Nick was attentive and we appreciated his kindness. Both Nick and Theo made this a memorable trip for us. Thank them so much and we were truly blessed. Happy holidays.read more

Washington DC night tour was well paced, the bus was spacious and clean, and the tour guide was highly knowledgeable.... More importantly, he knew how to get that knowledge across with a mix of concise sentences and a healthy dose of humour and wordplay. No chance to visit as many monuments in so little time on one's own.read more

The tour bus for Mt. Vernon left right on time and our driver and guide, Dale, were both very good. The stop at Christ... Church in Alexandria was a nice surprise as I don't remember reading about that in the itinerary. The info says it's a 4 1/2 hour tour but it was actually 5 1/2 hours. I would highly recommend this tour.read more

Christopher was a terrific guide - very knowledgeable, extremely personable, easy going and yet keeping us on track and... focused. He is very proud of his city, and it is clear that he likes people. It was a lovely tour and I would highly recommend taking a tour with Christopher as the guide. We took the evening tour. We had to hustle at the stops, but that was ok - we had sufficient time and covered a lot of ground.read more

I originally was going for a hop on hop off tour bus, but decided to go with USA Guided Tours and I'm glad I did! I... went with the 4-hour tour, and it gave me a great overview of some of the biggest attractions at National Mall. Tracy was our driver, and Joey was our guide. Tracy starts us off by serenading us with her beautiful voice as we board the bus. Then Joey took over, and she wowed us with her knowledge and expertise with the DC area. They were both great! They give you time to get off the bus and take pictures and walk through some of the monuments. This is a great way to start your exploration of all of our monuments and exhibits in National Mall. Highly recommend!read more

USA Guided tour group is the best!!! Our first time to DC was made special mainly due to us taking three of their... tours. We did the new open bus tour with Amy and Caesar that took us to a few of the Mall’s memorials, the National Harbor, old town Alexandria, the National Cathedral. Amy was awesome - so funny and full of information. So we booked another all day VIP tour to mainly see inside the Capital Building and the National Archives plus a ride on the Potomac, included lunch and, of course, more of the Mall’s Memorials. Tour guides Chris and Val were amazing during this tour!!! Then we decided to book the Mount Vernon and old town Alexandria tour with Dion!! Oh my!! Dion was the best of the best guides and even stopped at the old town Christ Church for an impromptu tour. I finally truly understand what exactly made George Washington, the father of our country, so special. What a treat Mount Vernon was with everything there dating to 1799, the year Washington died, and a huge museum all on George!!! I can’t say enough about how great and professional and knowledgeable this entire tour group organization is!! Added such value to our first time trip here. You will love their tours!!!!!!!read more

This particular tour uses very unique small-capacity (18 pax max) Mercedes-Benz Sprinter buses with glass-top or open-top convertible roofs that can open when the weather is friendly or retract and turn into glass-top to protect you from the weather elements.

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.

Our shuttle buses and vans do not have storage for accommodating carry-on bags. We ask that you only bring purses, briefcases, or backpacks for your tour; Please note that USA Guided Tours reserves the right to inspect any bags, book bags, briefcases or backpacks you carry.

    Linda

  • Hi USA Guided Tours, I really want to say that I greatly enjoyed the tour in Washington, DC. I want to especially thank Sierra! Coming from Canada and not really knowing my surroundings, I arrived about 15 minutes late at the Library of Congress, therefore I called USAGT and Sierra made sure that I could join the group. Exceptional customer service and special thanks to Sierra and Andre for helping me join the tour! Thank you for making my journey in DC a memorable one!

  • We toured with Christopher today and he was more than great! Very upbeat, courteous, and concerned about each individual!
