Great day! Bring snacks!
Jacque_D
, Jun 2022
It was a really great time and Tyrone was awesome!! Full of wisdom and so fun...BUT I do suggest if you're taking the all day tour, to pack snacks because you don't eat until really late in the TOUR,. That is the only thing I would change and earlier time to eat and a tad more time to do it! Also be prepared of ranching, rain, hot and cold all in one day!

Most of our trip was excellent. The part that our team was not totally satisfied with was with the first person in charge of showing us the Arlington cemetery. They say that he didn't explain all the important facts about the place, and he refused to take us to the Kennedy's tumb. The rest of the tour was outstanding and the ride for the river Potomac was great. I think The Signature should put pictures about the buses and the boat to give the customers a clear picture of the type of transportation people will be on.

Thank you for being with us. Arlington Cemetery meeting point and time is 7:45. We have limited time for other people to join us on the tour. You came with your car which takes a lot of time to park it. Zuma

Had a great tour with Viator! Our guide, Brenda, was very welcoming and knowledgeable. We were able to see so much more of the city than we had planned by taking this tour. I highly recommend the Arlington Cemetery portion as it gave us quiet time in the cemetery before the general public entered.

The tour guide for Arlington was great. Very informative and personable. Id give her five stars. However, the guide for the National Monument tour was terrible. She either sat in the bus or on a bench a let us fend for ourselves at each monument. We could of done the tour without her. I will never book a tour through Viator again.

Tour guide was very nice and pleasant. I am Diabetic. I would liked to have known in advance that it would be close to 7 hrs before we ate lunch. We met at 7:45 am and didn't sit to eat until 2:15 pm. Generally lunch is at 12:00 noon. Had I known I would have taken a good solid snack with me

RICKL_D
, Oct 2017
Our tour guide, Chris was fantastic. The only problem we had was being misled about the tour through Arlington Cemetery. We voiced our concern to Chris when we met at the very beginning when he informed us it was a 2-hour walking tour. There were 6 senior citizens for this part of the tour. Nowhere is it mentioned that the tour through Arlington would be all walking. Several of us had trouble with all of the walking. Especially my wife as she has bad knees. If we had known ahead of time we would have opted to use a tram ride for 14 to get through the cemetery. As it was, this slowed everyone down making us late to the bus. The rest of the tour was absolutely fabulous.

Tour guide was amazing. Very knowledge. The tour however needs improvement. We were supposed to get an hour lunch around lunch time but ended up getting 20-25min to grab something and board a boat. We literally had to eat on the boat. Felt like it could have been planned better.
