Amazing experience! We took the NYC to Washington DC tour and it completely exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, everything was well organized, the transportation was comfortable and on time, and every stop was perfectly planned.
But the best part was definitely our guide, Josh. He has an incredible energy and makes the whole tour dynamic, engaging, and even fun. He’s not the typical guide who just repeats history — Josh tells stories in a way that makes you feel like you’re living the moment. We learned so much without it ever feeling like a class, and he was always attentive to everyone.
I highly recommend it 100%. If you have the chance to take this tour with Josh, don’t think twice. Totally worth it!

Washington DC Trips with Yosh
Had an amazing tour with Yosh from Manhattan to Washington, DC. Highly recommended.
We visited the United States Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Union Station, and the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial. Long day but packed with history and totally worth it.
Yosh was handling everything alone as both the driver and tour guide. Parking around Washington, DC is not easy, so most of the time he had to stay with the vehicle. If there were another guide, I believe he could have shared even more information during the stops. That said, Yosh still did a great job explaining the history, what to expect, and what to look out for while we were in the vehicle.
One small suggestion, it would be even better if we could stop a little longer at the Capitol monuments for photos and to really take it in.
The White House was slightly disappointing due to heavy blockades and limited views from construction and security concerns. Not the tour’s fault at all, just unfortunate timing. That was the only letdown.
Overall, everything else was great. Thank you, Yosh!

Sehr, sehr lange Busfahrt auf minderbequemen Sitzbänken. Tour an sich war sehr interessant, ev. hätte man sich den letzten Stop (Washington Union Station) einsparen können.
