Highly Recommend Private Tour with Alan!!
We booked a full day tour with Alan and enjoyed every minute of it. Alan contacted us immediately after booking to plan our customized tour itinerary which, for us, included the National Mall National Archives and Arlington National Cemetery. He also secured passes to the newly opened undercroft at the Lincoln Memorial. Alan is a wealth of knowledge and pointed out so many of what he calls “Easter Eggs” or special bits of information. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Alan and will definitely book him again on our next trip. Highly Recommend!

Great trip and worth the time
This was a great trip. Our driver and guide Johnnie was outstanding. His commentary along the way was educational and interesting. I have visited many caverns and i thought this might be the same as the others but it was very unique and different. The car museum was awesome. Shenandoah National Park was awesome. Johnnie made all the right overlook stops to see the park. We did stop at the visitor center and I was able to get my passport stamp. The 1 mile hike Johnnie took us on was fun. (Note: a little uphill but not hard). Very fun trip and a great day

No Fluff, Just The Facts
I thought that the tour to the Madison was very thorough. The guide Marjorie was knowledgeable and gave detailed information. She took the time to explain all facts.
The driver and guide Halper was knowledgeable about the facts of Thomas Jefferson. His driving ability was highly skilled.

Regis is Amazing 🤩
This tour was everything I wanted it to be! Regis was genuinely knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. The private tour is a bit more pricey, but worth every penny. We were able to see everything we wanted at our own pace, without worrying about the strict schedule of a group tour. We ere also able to see some monuments and memorials which usually aren’t included in traditional tours. We did this on our first night in town. It was so nice to get to all the major photo spots out of the way in one go so we could focus on museums the rest of our trip. Overall, I highly recommend!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Washington DC has a seemingly endless supply of museums, monuments, and major landmarks. Due to this glut of attractions, it's tempting to stay in town, but there are many reasons to explore beyond city limits, too. Washington DC day trips cover the gamut, including history-themed trips to former presidential abodes in Alexandria, vineyard adventuring in Virginia (one of the country's fastest-growing wine regions), and commemorative visits to Arlington. Then there is the colonial history in Williamsburg, wartime monuments in Gettysburg, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The moral of the story? Explore Washington DC—but don't stop there.
