Very informative and thorough trip through history to present. Beautiful at night especially around Christmas.

Chris was the perfect driver, and knew EXACTLY how to get the best photos. Amy was a good guide. Lots of information and very educational.

Sally and Chris gave the best tour of Washington DC I have ever had (and I've had many!). Sally narrates like an audiobook and doesn't just tell you what we are driving by and stopping at, but really engages your mind with the rich and complex history of our country! The ride is intimate and the group was the perfect size for maneuvering efficiently around the nation's capital. Thank you both for an excellent evening!

Dec 1st my Women’s club used Signature Tours to take a trip around the Mall with 10 stops to get up close and personal. Chris and James were excellent as driver and guide. Very informative with a touch of humor!

Sally and Kris gave an outstanding tour all evening long. Both were attentive to any special needs of the group, while being very clear on each stop of the tour what the group should seek to get from it. We had sufficient time at each stop and never felt rushed, nor ran out of time at the end. Sally layered on tons of great information for eacy stop and along the route. Also very open to additional one-on-one questions about anything in the area. She has a clear passion for history, perspective on the timeframe of any related events, and ability to keep it entertaining throughout.
