These guys are great!!! I live in the N. Va DC area and have walked the monuments many times with friends and famiily in town. DC By Foot was a great new way to learn about the monuments. I have read some of these reviews and they honestly baffle me. If you are looking for a fun up beat group... more

Our trip to DC was four adults and a 11 year old and 13 year old. We were quite tired of walking when we began the tour, but it didn't feel like more hiking as we were led on the tour. The information was just right for both the history loving adults aswell as the kids. It was worth taking... more

We took this tour on a Saturday at 2:00…and it about 95 degrees out. I have read all of the past reviews but was a bit skeptical that this tour would live up to its reputations – especially because it was free. In fact, we thought we would only end up tipping $5.00 at the most – but ended up... more

My opinion of this tour is that it is more geared towards kids than adults. The tour guides are nice but some of the stories they told seemed pretty far-fetched. I got more out of simply walking to the monuments myself, talking with the Park Service volunteers who work there for free instead of for tips. I think DC by... more

My husband and I did the DC By Foot Tour on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2008. I had read the reviews here and thought it sounded interesting. This was one of the first things that we did after arriving in the city and it helped us get oriented to the city. Ben was our tour guide and did an excellent job.... more

Went with Brody on Sept. 1st, '08. He was a great guide. Loved the funny stories and interesting commentary that goes beyond just the usual monument information. He really seems to enjoy what he does. If not, he's a pretty good actor. Was more than willing to answer any question and even offered to walk us over to the Korean... more

We took our tour with Brody on August 30th and it was terrific! He is from Sarasota originally, a town I was from and that made it even more fun for us. Very informative and he was so energetic and into the tour. We looked forward to this tour and it was better than imagined. A definite "must do" on... more

Wife and I read the positive reviews here and thought we would take the tour as we wanted to learn a little bit about the Monuments. Our tour guide, Ben, was very nice and offered us some recommendations on what else to see in DC. However, as the tour got started the focus was more on humor than really learning... more

Ben was our guide. Very funny and kept us interested. No charge for the tour except for the tip which was well deserved. more

Okay, so the tour guides are not exactly accurate on the historical facts-- but they are entertaining! I didn't get bored, he treated everyone well. It's worth doing, for certain. more
