After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor we joined the 6 pm tour with Ben leading the group. It doesn't take you long to realise that he will frequently make reference to the British sometimes in a derogatory way - unnecessarily so at times - for the cheap laughs. The children liked the tour and it does include some important... more

this is an EXCELLENT tour. Brody was personable and very informative. He provides not just history but anecdotes that keep all ages entertained. We visited the Jefferson Memorial prior to the tour as they go past it but not inside. I highly recommend visiting the Korean War Memorial with him as well after the Lincoln Memorial. It is optional at... more

I really feel bad that I had to cut out before Ben finished. He was quite entertaining. Being a teacher, I knew pretty much all he had to say but he put a nice twist on things. And was fun to watch perform. He was also kid-friendly which was nice. And you can't beat the price - free. Well, you... more

I discovered this #1 ranked walking tour at Trip Advisor prior to leaving for a weeklong visit to DC. Zowie...based on the high ratings from reviewers, we decided that we should take the tour on our arrival date. After arriving in DC, we fumbled around for a few hours on our own. After getting lost a few times, we found... more

EXCELLENT Tour.. miss others, but TAKE THIS ONE ! Entertaining, Enlightening, Educational, Energetic, and Engaging !! Tour covers all the major monuments around the Mall, and the pace is perfect - I had two 60+ seniors with me who didn't speak much English, but even they had a wonderful time. My 10 year old son couldn't stop talking about Ben... more

FABULOUS FREE walking tour - don't miss it. Guide was funny and entertaining for the kiddo's. Lot's of interesting information on the background of the monuments that I'll always remember. Wear good shoes - because at the end you are maybe 6 blocks from the nearest metro station - BUT totally worth the effort! MUST DO! more

The 6:00 tour was the last thing we did after a long day of walking around D.C. and it ended up being one of the biggest highlights of our trip to D.C. Our tour guide, Brody, was great. He was able to keep our older kids (10 and 8) interested and involved in the tour with historical facts and funny... more

We can see why TripAdvisor has this as the number one attraction. Ben was a wonderful guide, engaging with our group and took special interest in the small boy in our group and incorporated him into his tour. He was outgoing and joking, but very knowledgeable. We were very impressed with his facts about the Vietnam Monument, and that he... more

Excellent tour. Not really "meaty" in the sense of information, but there are some good tidbits. Mostly it is a great way to check out the Mall with some entertainment thrown in. Our guide was clearly having a great time, and the price is certainly right! Leave a good tip, he's working hard for it. more

We were in DC for 1 and a half days roughly, so really we had only 1 day to take advantage of the city, so as you can imagine we took advantage of this and were out roughly for 12 hours on foot looking around prior to this. We decided to do the 6pm tour and met up with Broady... more
