Truly Amazing!
Maryann_B, 14-11-2022
Being able to see the Kennedy's, changing of the Guards @ the Unknown Soldier tomb was amazing, the entire area is just beautiful and we were very honored to have been able to see such a wonderful place and pay respect to all that are laid to rest there.
FDR Memorial a must-see.
Marilyn_M, 17-10-2022
I particularly enjoyed the Franklin D Roosevelt memorial, the National Archives, and the Arlington Cemetery tour. While very spare architecturally, the FDR site was powerfull - bronze-casted figures were life-size and the faces showed the grief and despair during the depression. I also like the four "rooms" dedicated to FDR's four terms.
In the future - Signature tours actually provided the tour guide. I recommend that all guides have some sort of apparel all to identify them as a Signature guide. Our guide wore black pants and black sweatshirt with sort of emblem on it - but no ID as a tour guide. It was hard to find him in a crowd.
See it all in D.C.

This was the first day of our eight day vacation, our tour guide Tyrone McBride was very knowledgeable and funny, our driver Chris was very friendly. It was a good way to see all the major sites and get our bearings to all the locations for the week. I highly recommend this tour. Bill Chan
