Oct. 17th we met Andrew on the assigned street corner. It was raining so there were only 8 of us. Andrew was entertaining, informative and passionate about the various memorials. It was our first time to Washington and would recommend this tour to all. more

I took the DC by Foot tour on a late October Sunday afternoon. Tim was our guide, and he was absolutely wonderful. Great stories, and little details that some residents don't even know! He mixed fun, interesting details and respect for the monuments and memorials around us. I would recommend DC by Foot, and Tim (I'm sure other guides are... more

After reading the plethora of great reviews on Tripadvisor for this outfit, we took two tours during our October 2009 visit and enjoyed them both greatly. Our first experience was an evening tour of the monuments. Our guide, Tim, is a retired teacher who maintained a perfect combination of historical information, humor, trivia and current events. His conversational delivery was... more

Serendipity rescued my haphazard self-guided tour through the unassuming ex-school teacher Tim. As it happened, I was looking at a map trying to locate a visitor center at the exact convening spot for the free tour and just at the right time too- 10 minutes before it began. Tim saw me and incorrectly assumed I was looking for the tour.... more

The former high school teacher who led our tour was top-notch. He asked questions that kept the kids interested, told good stories, and shared his deep knowlege of the monuments and National Mall. more

The guide on this one was especially interesting because you could tell how interested he was and the knowledge he showed. An excellent storyteller, he really had a lot of information to keep track of which was obviously... more

Added a nice personal touch to our visit of DC. The tour guide pointed out things that we might have missed if we had gone out on our own. more

Our tour guide was certainly enthusiastic. However, I was expecting perhaps a bit more humor, or more interesting stories. The first stop on the tour was the Washington Monument. It did inspire us to add a trip to the top to our itinerary. We were not disappointed. However, I did note some minor discrepancies between the facts and figures I... more

I'd like to review DC by Foot, but after waiting over 40 minutes for someone to turn up to take the tour we decided to see DC ourselves, as to not waste the evening ! A very disappointing experience, especially after I'd checked times, dates and information on their website only hours before, just in case it had been cancelled... more
