Our Charging of the Guard tour is great. We have in-depth knowledge of the ceremony, great stories, lots of jokes (some of them are even funny), the best vantage points, and friendly and fun guides. At one point, we even march with the soldiers and the ceremonial band as they head down The Mall. In fact, we are so confident that you will have a great time with us, that if you don’t, for whatever reason, then you can have a free place on any of our other walking tours.
