Reviews Lincoln Memorial
“Leuke dagtrip en er werd genoeg achtergrond informatie verteld. Ook wat tips meegekregen voor in New York zelf. Reistijd is lang maar dat is bekend en zeker de moeite waard! Vlot verloop, goede chauffeur, goede reisleider.”
“Tolle Führung, sehr viele Informationen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen!”
“Brittany and Calvin were both great. Excellent way to see the highlights of DC with a very knowledgeable tour guide. Well worth the time and money!”
“This was just the BEST! My son and I did the open top bus and riverboat day tour in DC. Our personal tour guide (Danielle I think) was very knowledgeable and taught us fun facts. They provided cold water for us. It rained later in the day and they even had ponchos. I highly recommend.”
