Must do! We’ve visited DC several times and had not benefitted from Mike’s expertise and knowledge of the history and tales of DC at night. Highly recommended!

Our guide "Rizo" was great! Very informed of all history related to our tour and bright personality. She did a great job. Thanks again from CA.

The tour was excellent. Rizzo was extremely knowledgeable and was able to explain everything in chronological order, even when people would stop her to ask questions. We were able to start early because we all arrived early and were able to fit in a bonus stop. I could have kept walking and done a 4 hour tour with the amount of knowledge she had of the area. Highly recommend!
