Discover Washington, D.C.: The Best of the Capital

This program was excellent! The two group leaders were superlative, and every presentation and field trip was a robust learning opportunity. I cannot say enough positive things about this program.

This is a terrific program: memorable talks by DC insiders about what's going on, as well as excellent trips to museums, the Capitol, memorials, monuments, etc. Anna was very helpful and knowledgable and kept us happily organized & moving when needed. Best trip yet.

This is an excellent program! Be prepared to do a lot of walking but what you will see and learn about DC is worth it all! They have great speakers and you see the most interesting sites and learn valuable history and "backstories." You will also be with other participants that are interested in learning and are from all over.

This was our first Road Scholar trip and we thoroughly enjoyed this! I wouldn’t have wanted to tour DC any other way. Our guides were so knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We will do another trip with Road Scholars.

Road Scholar is an excellent program for retirees who would like to "travel the world".

This program covers Washington DC where there's a lot to see and learn in just 6 days. GREAT PROGRAM! Firoz

This is a comment about your questionnaire. While it was too long, it was very well designed. It is obvious you have done your questionnaire well due to excellent preparation and previous interviews. Pass this along to your researchers. (From a professor of research who has done more than 200 researched based studies.

What a wonderful introduction to Washington DC! Our excellent guides were so knowledgable about a variety of sites including museums, memorials, and government agencies. It was a thoroughly inspiring, educational trip.

This program will spotlight our great American leaders of the past and the conflicts (wars) we have endured.

The program exceeded all my expectations for my first D.C. experience. We definitely got a taste of the Best of the Capitol with the selection of monuments, memorials, museums and lectures.

The DC program itself is very inclusive of all things historical in the city. The leaders, guides and guests were all highly qualified, entertaining and educational. I would highly recommend this program. Bring comfortable walking shoes!

Just came back from Washington DC with Road Scholar. The program was "The Best of the Capitol". I recommend it to anyone interested in DC. Very informative and interesting.

I had a terrific time. There was so much to see and do I wish it had been a day longer. Our excellent guide made every visit so interesting. I'm looking forward to another adventure. You made it very comfortable for a single person traveling alone.

Discover Washington, D.C. was an excellent program. It exceeded our expectations in all respects. Anna and Dave are fantastic staff members! The hotel was excellent. Food was outstanding. The program was everything that we wanted......a good solid "survey" of iconic memorials, buildings, and museums. Thanks Road Scholar for a fantastic experience!

I found the website somewhat difficult to navigate and ended up making many calls to Road Scholar. In those cases, I always received accurate and helpful information from the Road Scholar representative.

If you want to learn more about our great Capital, this is the trip for you! You will leave feeling connected to our country and its history.

Perfection itself! Anna, Gary and Alan were the perfect team. The itinerary hit all the most important spots. In retrospect I might have decided to stay an extra day to hit the locations that I didn't see enough of like The Library of Congress but I never felt that anything important was left out. Highly recommended!

Wonderful program! Try it you will like it.

Excellent trip! Extremely well organized. Instructors and leaders presented a wealth of knowledge and background about Washington D.C. Highly recommended!

Road Scholars is for you if you"re interested in an educational experience. The price is definitely right.

This was my first Road Scholar trip, and I plan to take more. I saw so much more than I ever could on my own. The leaders were friendly and informative. It was very well organized and the bus was always waiting for us to go to the next place.

Tour of Washington, D.C. exceeded our expectations. Anna and Gary, the tour leaders, were excellent! Good choices for speakers.

very good

An excellent program in many regards. While any of the sites we visited, with the exception of the embassy of Saudi Arabia, could have been visited as a "tourist", our group leaders shared their in-depth knowledge about the history behind each. I had been to D.C. numerous times before, but I definitely learned more than I had during any prior visit. Our instructors were excellent; each offered up a wealth of though-provoking information and ideas. There was a good mix of timely topics covered. Our group leaders/mentors Anna and Gary were superb... I rank them as two of the best I've met during my Road Scholar journey.

I just got back from this trip to DC, my first with Road Scholar. The planning was excellent for seeing the highlights of DC with very informative guides and docents. Having key speakers on media, policy, and politics set the pace for learning through the day's full itinerary. I traveled as a single but the easy camaraderie within the group and trip leaders made the shared meals enjoyable. I was able to extend my trip a few days to see the many, many Smithsonian museums in more detail or visit those that needed a timed pass, as well as return to my favorite memorials. I highly recommend this trip and look forward to travelling with Road Scholar again

The time goes by so smoothly that you don't realize how much you have done and seen until you start to put your amazing photos in an album.
