Excellent way to spend a few hours!!
This tour was very informative and gave key highlights to the area without needing to spend hours and hours reading plaques in different buildings on our own. It was a comfortable pace for all individuals in the group. Our guide, Debra, was not only knowledgeable about the area and different buildings but attentive to the people she led. We especially appreciated the tickets to the Senate and the House galleries and felt this was the perfect ending to a great day.

Absolutely Outstanding
Our experience with Alan was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. What impressed us immediately was that he contacted us before our trip to introduce himself and take the time to learn about our interests, preferences, and the places we most wanted to visit. That personal touch made us feel valued and ensured our tour was tailored specifically to us.
Alan’s knowledge of history is truly remarkable. He doesn’t just share facts—he brings history to life in a way that is both fascinating and memorable. His storytelling made every site we visited more meaningful, and he has a wonderful talent for making complex historical information engaging and easy to remember.
Beyond his expertise, Alan has a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout the trip. He was always attentive to our needs, flexible when necessary, and genuinely focused on making sure we had the best possible experience.
One of the highlights of our trip was a fantastic Italian restaurant that Alan recommended. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff treated us so warmly that it became one of our favorite dining experiences of the entire trip.
We could not be happier with the service Alan provided. His professionalism, knowledge, personality, and attention to detail made our trip unforgettable. We will absolutely seek him out again when we return, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional private guide. Thank you, Alan, for helping create such wonderful memories!

This museum is best seen with a knowledgable guide
This place is ENORMOUS! Without Brenda we would have wandered around for hours and not really seen much of anything. BUT with her we were able to see highlights of some VERY interesting exhibits and hear stories surrounding them that made the visit most enjoyable. I can't imagine visiting here, especially for the first time, without a guide to help steer you in the right direction. We are very grateful to have Brenda share some of her wealth of knowledge. WELL WORTH the price.

DC Tour
One of our friends is paraplegic and was accommodated very well. Her collapsible wheelchair fit in the back of the van. We all thoroughly enjoyed the sites that were visited and even though it was Memorial Day it was not very busy. The driver is quite knowledgeable and has lived near DC for 30 years.

DC fun
Our private tour of Washington DC was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we started, everything was organized, informative, and so much fun. Seeing the monuments and memorials lit up while learning the history behind each stop made the experience unforgettable.
Our tour guide, Maaz, was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and truly passionate about DC and its history. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question we had, and even shared hidden gems and interesting facts we would have never known otherwise. His energy and personality made the tour engaging from start to finish.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Washington DC, I cannot recommend this private tour — and especially Maaz — enough. This was a 5-star experience all around, and we’ll be talking about it for a long time!

Awesome tour! Contacting tour group could use some work.
This was such a pleasant way to enjoy the monuments. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history and significance of all the monuments. This included anything else of significance we passed along the way. We made a terrible mistake getting to the meeting spot, and ended up in the arrivals lane of the Ronald Reagan airport. Completely our fault, but our guide was gracious enough to wait the ten extra minutes it took for us to arrive. The numbers given to contact the tour group for cases such as these were, however, not helpful. No one picked up. We had to contact Viator customer service directly and they gave us the tour guide's personal number to let them know we were running late.

Gratitude for America’s Founding Fathers
Allen, our Guide, is extremely knowledgeable, covers high points, little known details about our nation’s cherished documents and history. He comes prepared with his own guide book/manual to accompany his narrative. Additionally, he is personable, relaxed, welcomes questions. I booked this tour so we would understand the overwhelming scope of The National Archives Museum in a condensed period of time. There were 3 of us touring with Allen; he is superb! Additionally, when you view the original documents and realize the depth of character & divine inspiration of our Founding Fathers, you will well up with gratitude for the greatest nation in the world! An experience we will never forget!

Private DC Tour with Maaz
This is the way to go for seeing the main DC monuments and sights for a quick 3 hour tour! Very personable and you are dropped off right in front of each stop. Plus, you get to go at your own pace. They also pick and drop you off right from your hotel. They also provided the best vehicle available to accommodate my wife’s bad hip!

Smithsonian air & space museum tour with Meghan
Meghan, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable with each and every exhibit she showed us. My husband, who works in the aeronautical field, was able to confirm within his own knowledge how accurate she was with her facts. We were a bit late for the tour because of getting lost, but she was very patient with us and waited. She helped guide us to where we needed to meet. She had a smile on her face the whole time! I highly recommend this tour and hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Meghan as your guide!

Thank you for what you do!
I would first like to Thank you and Chris (our guide). Chris did an amazing job. My dad is an 81 year old navy vet and Chris got him to the places he really wanted to see that we had just spent the last 36 trying to figure out how to get him close enough to be able to walk to even one of these monuments. Chris made it happen. I would highly recommend this Company. The history we learned along the way was an excellent experience. My dad was able to walk to 3 before he was wore out but every single stop was not far from the monument. My fiancé and I got him the rest of the pictures. Thank you for what you do!

Tour that Doesn’t Feel Rushed…PERFECT!
We had an amazing time with Mr Eddie! He texted the day before to confirm pickup and arrived 15 mins early for our tour. He explained our stops and set expectations for our stops. As we drove he gave a history of DC while pointing out places of interest. He drove slow enough that we all had an opportunity to see what was being discussed. Our favorite stop was the Pentagon. He walked with us and gave a detailed account of the days events as well as details about the memorial itself. We could not have been more pleased with the entire experience! We loved the personal touch he provided for our family.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Exclusive and customizable, Washington DC private sightseeing tours are especially great for visitors who want to see all of the city’s key landmarks in a short amount of time. With a private excursion—whether that’s by limousine, luxury SUV, or minivan—you’ll work with the tour operator and your driver to prioritize your must-visit locations, with plenty of time for photo ops. Most private sightseeing tours include hotel pick-up and drop-off, which can also be a huge time saver for those with limited hours to spend in the nation’s capital.
