About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- T529WZannel0 contributionsAmazing! Book now because you want to experience this!Absolutely amazing! The communication and direction prior to the day of the tour were fantastic. We had no trouble finding the start location even with multiple train station and street closures on the day of our tour, inauguration weekend. Our tour guide, Duane, I believe, in his bright orange jacket so we could always find him, was extremely personable, conversing with the tour participants throughout the entire tour. He remembered where people were from and included facts related to the states of the participants. The guide was like a walking encyclopedia! He said he had 20 years experience leading tours and it showed. He pointed out details at every site and shared interesting facts as we drove from one location to the next. And, our driver was an absolute street genius! Roads were randomly closing but he always knew a way to get where we needed to go. He even helped out one of the tour participants by drying her wet socks on the dash of the van. It was quite rainy but that could not put a damper on this phenomenal tour. The cost of the tour was money well spent to have these gentlemen escort us to so many sites! Thank you immensely!Written 29 January 2025
- mzrubyb0ssladyyc0 contributionsTour was niceThe tour was informative but we was expecting more to see as for getting a more feel and photos of all the monuments but overall it was nice experience.Written 29 January 2025
- 410venusb0 contributionsExceptional Capitol Tour with Dwayne!I had an amazing experience on the Capitol tour led by Dwayne! He was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and made history come alive with fascinating stories and insights. His passion for sharing information was evident and made the tour both engaging and memorable. Highly recommend this tour with Dwayne to anyone visiting D.C.!Written 28 January 2025
- 946shifrai0 contributionsAwesome TourOur tour all around DC was exquisite! Our tour guide James was extremely knowledgeable and fun! I definitely recommend booking this tour.Written 16 January 2025
- Jay3140 contributionsFantastic experience, to experience all of the Washington monuments and key sites. Highly recommend the 5hour tour with James anBooked through Get Your Guide, read so much about all the different monuments and what to see and was initially a but overwhelmed, so glad I booked Signature Tours. We booked the 5-hour tour (the 3hr tour is essentially the same but misses out the Pentagon, Airforcr and the Marine Corps monuments which are definately worth a visit and across the highway in Virginia). Our guide, James, was exceptional — his background as a history teacher, working at the Dept of Agriculture and extensive tour experience definately shows as he expertly navigates you through the crowds and gives you insights at each monument. Our driver Chris, was equally impressive, skillfully parking the van at the front of each site and their timing between drop offs and pick ups was perfect . The van we moved around in was fantastic, with large windows offering great views, spacious and clean. The tour stopped at every major monument, and James provided detailed explanations about each one. Overall a well-organised and fantastic tour, as a first-time visitor this tour is a must-do!Written 3 January 2025
- Sherpa3114590 contributionsNot happyWe arrived at meeting point 5 minutes before time and waited 30 minutes, no trace of guide and no communication re cancellation of tourWritten 1 January 2025
- russellh4180 contributionsInformative and Fun TourOur tour guide Dwayne was very informative and friendly. He was easy to understand and provided a wide range of interesting information. There were last minute changes to the schedule caused by early closure of the capital buildings. We were disappointed that we did not get the advertised access to the Library of Congress, but Dwayne adapted to the changes to minimize impact on our tour group. The guide inside the capital building was also quite good and interesting to listen to. I recommend this tour. You will learn a lot that you did not know about our capital buildings.Written 30 December 2024
- gojushiho0 contributionsYou never know what to expect but…You never know what to expect but this did not disappoint. As we all know, it’s the guide and staff that make or break the tour. On our case, we had Miss Sally as our guide and Chris as our driver. It was astounding how much Sally knew and answered all of the groups’s questions. She even made the trip interesting for teenagers…no small task. And Chris was very kind to my FIL who had a bad knee. All in all, they both made a run of the mill trip interesting and enjoyable. What we especially liked is that they did not process us like cattle where the itinerary was a check list for her. Instead, they gave us choices about the itinerary and adjusted on the fly (the weather was bad and many people did not want to trek too far in the freezing rain). I would highly recommend this tour as long as you get these two, if possible.Written 25 December 2024
- W6653KFrebeccap0 contributionsInformative and Well-OrganizedThis tour was well-run and the guides held fast to the timeline. James was amazingly informative. I genuinely marveled at how many names and dates he could pull from memory. Chris was similarly helpful and shared his own insights. My 10yo son and I had a very nice day.Written 27 November 2024

- sooyoungk3810 contributionsCancel by text at 5am on the day of tourVery disappointed. I was informed by text at 5am on the day of the tour that it was cancelled due to employees need to vote!! Are you kidding me? Why would you even arrange a tour in the first place? I was really looking forward to seeing the sights so I had to frantically search to see if there were another tour available. Luckily I was able to squeeze in at the last minute for a short tour (I think because I was solo) so I was grateful. I will not be signing up with Signature Tours in the future. They were unprofessional and I almost wasted an entire day in the hotel room!Written 5 November 2024
- nancykH1351EA0 contributionsInformative Arlington Tour!!We had the pleasure of having William as our very own tour guide! He had a wealth of information going back to the origins of the land and all the wars that brought these noble people to rest in Arlington. He was very patient, kind and accommodating. The walk was long but he had a very nicely paced tour and we still saw everything we had come for. I would recommend this tour for adults and teens who have a keen interest in the history of this monument!! Thank you for a lovely morning adventure!!Written 27 October 2024
- Karen B0 contributionsWaste of time and moneyI never read the 1 star reviews as I think people are just trying to be negative. This is the only time I wished I had. If you think that a group over 23 people is a small group for a tour I think it is a bit misleading. Waiting in lines for more than 50% of the tour. It felt like cattle. A bit of a sad experience really and not worth the money I am afraid.Written 27 October 2024
- Guitarann0 contributionsComfortable and interesting tour of DCRochelle was a great tour guide. She had plentiful knowledge and was genuinely enjoying all of us. Chris was a talented driver. Lots of cold water too. I recommend.Written 22 October 2024

Tyrone was excellent as a tour guide. He was friendly, funny, and informative. I really enjoyed this tour of the Washington DC sites. I only wish they would have added the Marine Corps Memorial, which would have been an easy stop as it is right next to Arlington. But all in all, the tour was well worth the money for sure. Highly recommended.

We had the tour guide to ourselves for the Arlington tour. The weather was nice we walked. The guide was excellent in showing up the little niche plots and providing history - The exchanging of the guard was breathtaking. The Monument tour was perfect we got to see all the monuments and they stopped and let us off the bus for the majority of the sites. I would highly recommend. The tour guide was great at keeping everyone engage in the sites around us .

Great tour. Very moving and insightful. I had the tour guide, Tyrone, by myself, for the first part of the tour. It was an absolute down downpour but I barely noticed because Tyrone's knowledge and stories were amazing.

Really makes you think about the sacrifices made on our behalf. We didn't allow enough time to really see all there is, so be sure to make enough time. We'll be returning.

Roughly how long is this tour? Are we guaranteed to see the changing of the guard?
