We loved our evening with Eddie! ELD Touring was recommended to us through a friend of a friend and after finding a groupon, we booked a nighttime monument tour. Our evening with Eddie was perfect! From reservations to confirmation to picking us up right on time, Eddie was professional and accommodating! We were thrilled to learn our family of four had our own private tour! Eddie took us through the streets of Washington and to all of the major monuments. At first he said that we would not be able to see the Pentagon Memeoral because they were doing repair work on the lights and it was not open (and lit) in the evenings. I was so disappointed since many reviewers had specifically mentioned this memorial as the highlight of their evening with Eddie. As we round our way by the Pentagon Eddie said "I see light, I see light". Luckily the lights were fixed and back on and we made our way there. So blessed as that was my absolute favorite stop we made. Eddie was knowledgable, friendly and professional and I would highly recommend him and the nighttime tour to anyone coming to Washington.

We booked the evening tour for 4 and our driver/guide, Eddie, was excellent. He took us to many places throughout Washington and more than made up for the persistent rain which occasionally obscured the view through the windows in the dark. We stopped or passed all sorts of places such as the Pentagon memorial, which is both beautiful and moving, the marine corps Iwo Jima memorial, and the MLK memorial, as well as all the usual attractions, of which there are many!Eddie was both friendly and hugely knowledgeable, I can't praise him highly enough! Highly recommended.

I found out about ELD Touring through Groupon and purchased the evening tour for four. It was an excellent value. While driving us in his minivan, Eddie gave us commentary about the buildings we were passing and the history. We went to several places that we would not have seen otherwise such as the Pentagon Memorial and the Marine Corps Memorial. All of the sites were amazing at night, and it was nice to be delivered right to each with not too much walking. Eddie was very friendly and efficient. I recommend this tour.

When we were unable to book the evening tour of DC because it was overbooked, we went with the Daytime Tour, and it turned out to be the best experience of our week in Washington, DC. When the couple that were also booked dropped out, we had Eddie all to ourselves, and he delivered! We went to Arlington, the Pentagon, Jefferson Memorial, MLK Memorial, and much more. Eddie was accommodating and patient (I really have to thank him for patiently waiting by the Starbucks for me). His knowledge of the area and the history behind the memorials made the tour memorable for us. He was always on time and exactly where he said he would be. He never chatted on the phone while driving, and answered all of our questions. Highly recommend this tour.

Got a deal for on groupon for an evening tour for four people. Booking was a breeze! Went to the website to check availability and called to confirm with my groupon. Service was great! Eddie called back promptly (considering the 6hr time difference) and placed my reservation informing me his procedure of texting instructions the day before to my cell. I made the reservation 2 months in advance! This was our first time ever in DC from Hawaii and true to his word, with specific instructions, we connected for our evening tour without a hitch! Eddie was very informative and expressive with his experiences and knowledge of the various monuments that we had visited in our evening tour. His love for the city and respect for the various monuments and sites were infectious for when visiting these memorials at night, you get a serene spiritual feeling as you visit the hallowed venues of the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. When visiting the Pentagon Memorial, Eddie practically brought us to tears as he described the events that had happened 9/11 and how the monument was planned with a purpose to each placement of stone. At each of these sites, yeah you would be looking at structures, but with Eddie, he actually gives you a thought and a emotion to how and why each monument was built. Eddie was very generous in his ideas and services. He even drove us around and showed us where to park and enter when we told him we had a White House tour the next day. I definitely recommend ELD Tours!

My husband and I did the semi-private night tour on our spring visit to DC. I am so glad we did it! It was by far the best way and time of day to see the memorials. Absolutely wonderful!

We just returned from our first family trip to Washington DC. The highlight of the trip was our evening tour with Eddie. His passion for his birthplace, its history, and current events made our experience great. We were treated well and learned so much. Our favorite stop was the Pentagon Memorial and Eddie's knowledge and passion for this place took us back to that fateful day. I highly recommend ELD Touring if you're looking for an intimate, personal, comfortable, knowledge packed, well priced, fun tour of our nation's capitol.

This tour was great! We got to move quickly to all of the top monuments and memorials and see everything in one evening. We had 6 of us including an infant and 10 year old and we all enjoyed it. Eddie was very knowledgeable and had kinds of interesting things to share with us. I loved that he walked up to the MLK Jr memorial and revealed how it would have been when they first dedicated it. The only thing that would have been better would have been of Eddie could control the weather lol. But even though it was raining he provided us umbrellas to use! Thanks for all of the lasting memories!

Can't say enough about Eddie. His tours are very well organized and with Eddie's personality it was like having a friend show you around town. He is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to DC knowledge! He picked us up on time at an easy to find location. We hit all the important monuments and had time to take pictures at each stop. Since our group was the only ones on our tour he conveniently dropped us off at our apartment. Thanks Eddie!

Although we used a Groupon for this tour, it is well worth the full price. Reasons: Easy access -- we met at Union Station so no traffic problems. No cattle call -- there were only four people on our tour, my husband, me and a nice couple from California. I can't say enough about not being crowded in a huge bus and wherever your bus goes, your group causes delays and crowding. This tour is as if you drove to all the sites yourself, without having to fight traffic and fight for parking. Personalized tour -- Eddie is a fantastic tour guide because he was formally a teacher and coach so he has fantastic presentation skills and is very knowledgeable of ALL aspects of D.C. Although he has an audio system in the van, you would have no problem hearing him without it. He has interesting stories, both professional and personal, and conduct an excellent personal walking tour of the Pentagon Memorial Site. Time: Because Eddie has done this for many years, the amount of time he allots for each site is exactly the time you need. This prevents rushing on your part or standing around waiting after you have finished your tour of the area. We did not feel rushed but also didn't have to waste time waiting on either Eddie or the other people on the tour. Traveling accommodations: You are touring in a personal van, which is perfect. Eddie pulls right up to the tour site to let you out and picks you up in just as convenient a spot, if not the same spot. Then you step back inside an air-conditioned (heated in the fall/winter) van to cool off and enjoy the comfortable ride to the next site. Also, the van is very easy to get in and out of...no steps and no crowding. Safe driving: This may sound strange but if you have ridden in a cab in D.C., you can appreciate this. Eddie is a calm, safe driver and knows exactly where he is going to you do not fear for your life! Good for people who want to see a lot and walk a little: This tour is excellent for those who want to see as many memorials as possible in a day. You could not see all these sites in one day without an expert like Eddie. Sure, the metro takes you close to the sites but there is still a tremendous amount of walking to and from the metro -- both physical and time consuming. You also have to function on the metro's schedule, not your own.Great orientation tour: This tour gives you a great introduction to the layout of D.C. and you visit or drive by all the major sites. Eddie points out other sites although you don't stop so you can get an idea where things are located in the city.This tour was so good, I plan to take my parents on it when they come to visit.

We booked this day tour through Groupon and wish his night tour had also been available because the night tour we did with another company just didn't compare. Having a small-group, personal tour makes the experience all the more enjoyable and informative. We had no problem finding our meeting spot at the SpongeBob mailbox near Union Station. Eddie was knowledgeable, pleasant and very interactive. He has a great personality - our only suggestion for him is to have people on the tour introduce themselves. With such a small group, it can make a the difference between a great tour and an unforgettable one. We later ran into the couple who was on our tour (at the airport!!) and it was fun to see them again. Eddie has a great system for running multiple tours at once, and we never felt as if we were waiting for him to return. We had enough time at each of the stops and his vehicle was clean and comfortable. We appreciated the cold water bottles he provided to us, as it was warm outside and we did a lot of walking.If we were to return to DC we would book this tour in a heartbeat. It was worth every penny full price, and the Groupon discount made it even more valuable. Thank you, Eddie!!

Purchased this tour through Groupon, but it was worth twice the price! Eddie was very communicative before our tour, and even picked us up at the hotel for the day. He was very pleasant, easy to understand, and really knows DC! Made the day very interested for our entire family, and accommodated our special requests. Would definitely recommend!

As first time visitors to Washington, D.C. we wanted a tour of the area. We book a trip with owner, Eddie and ELT Tours on the night of June 19th, 2014. Eddie was by far the best tour guide we have ever had. We met him by the Union Station at 7 pm for a night tour of the monuments. He takes you on the tour in his mini-van, so you get his focused attention with lots of big windows. He has a special mic connected to his car speakers, so everyone in the van can hear him give you the history and story behind each site you visit and the surrounding DC area. He advised us he was a former school teacher and you can tell by his in-depth knowledge and ability to communicate and explain each sit. At the Pentagon Memorial, he gave a special in-depth explanation of why the memorial was set up in a special manner. He explained his personal experience on the day of the terrorist attacks, while he was giving a tour on that day. He even broke it down into a baseball analogy for my 7 and 9 year old boys. We toured all the major landmarks in the area, except Mt. Vernon. You will not regret booking a tour with Eddie, he is by far one of the best tour guides out there.

We had planed on a trip to Washington and had booked a night tour for the 5th of May. I had been fighting a virus for about 2 weeks and on the 4th my wife woke up with painful earaches in both ears and the virus progressed from there. Needless to say flying the next morning was impossible so we stayed home. Sunday afternoon I emailed Eddie to let him know we wouldn't be joining his tour the next night and assumed that our tour fare would be forfieted, if for no other reason due to the short notice. I was surprised when he replied by email and wished us a speedy recovery as well as requesting our home address so he could send us a full refund! The refund arrived this week with an apology for the delay due to his being busy. In my book, Eddie Davenport is a true professional business person and judging from his other reviews a terrific tour guide.

I called to book our tour, but ELD was already booked solid. Edward however, was so accommodating, he was able to arrange for our tour on Monday June 10, 2014. We never felt rushed or "squeezed in". After discussing our desired destinations, we had a very comfortable & personalized tour. We saw everthing on the traditional "must see list" and went off the beaten path. Edward made our day of sightseeing so wonderful and interesting,that my 12 year son & 10 year old nephew were never bored.
