“Tour guide made terrible attempt at humor. She didn’t know how to properly use a microphone in the bus and had no speaker outside. At one point we came to Lafayette Park and her only bit of information was the name of the park and that the statue was of Lafayette. I could have bought a map! I wish we could have walked away. Capitol tour was great but she wasn’t our guide.”

“Charles was great! He was knowledgeable about the city, gave interesting facts and some personal stories along with the tour. Very cordial, always letting us know where he would be parked, and opened and closed the door entering and exiting the van. It was Inauguration weekend, so roads were shutting down and were shut down and Charles pleasantly navigated around making sure we got all our stops and sightseeing in! What a wonderful city! The weather wasn’t the greatest but we managed to get an educational tour for our son in and the clever rhyme, 1-2-3 Man, Thomas Jefferson, was an easy remembrance for my son ! Thank you so…”
