What You Will Experience
Loved him. We all had fun! Jim does more than show us around. He interacts with you. He tells stories. He listens to our stories. He made sure we had cold bottled water and took good care of us. I thought it was great that when things came up, he made last-minute adjustments so we could avoid traffic and long lines…"
He’s a first-rate tour guide and wonderful person. Jim went out of his way to help us when my wife fell during our visit because she hadn't adjusted to her new glasses. Later that evening, he joined us at the hospital to make sure we were fine. We were. What we remember most was the great tour we enjoyed, rather than the minor hiccup..."
Jim, Thank you for guiding my group again. I’ve heard many nice things about you. You made the whole trip run smoothly and that makes for a happy group Hope to come back yet again when I bring other groups. Jim Carr made a good experience great for us. He's entertaining, expert and easy to talk to, tailoring the tour just for our group. When we wanted to depart from the itinerary, he heard us, so we could make a quick stop for souvenirs. Not only that, on a hot August day, he knew where to find cold bottled water and a cool shady spot at Arlington Cemetery! He brought our visit to life. We'll gladly recommend him to others and we've already referred him to others..."
