Top Washington DC Private Sightseeing Tours - page 2

Best way to see all the monuments without so much walking and especially when you are limited on time. Our guide Khalid was exceptional and so knowledgeable. Everything was so nice and tailored to our group with plenty of time to see everything without feeling so rushed. I would recommend over and over again to do this tour.

We made the reservation for this trip knowing that my husband was only 5 weeks out from knee replacement and that it would be a challenge for any walking. We told the driver/owner this and he was more than accommodating and gracious. We simply needed to get out of our home and have mental stimulation. We are already planning a return trip with walking included. The tour was extraordinary and the owner has a broad and deep knowledge and understanding of our history, our national relics and current status of such. We had been to DC from NYC on several occasions in the past so we had piecemeal knowledge of this extraordinary city. His knowledge brought together so many aspects of our country's early beginnings, conflicts, wars and the monuments, buildings that are emblematic of those times. We even went to the Iwo Jima memorial which neither one of us had seen and were struck by its astonishing lifelike sense of movement, like the last soldier attempting to grasp the flagpole. We were both thrilled and sobered by all that our country has been through, all of the conflicts we have witnessed and look forward to having a continued emotional experience with our guide and owner once we can walk safely. This was a remarkable few hours for us with this knowledgeable guide who also provided asidesstories not usually found in guide books. Thank you -- we have been restored and look forward to being with you again.

The tour was great. First time visiting and the tour gave us the opportunity to see the historical monuments. Our guide Amin was super informative and answered our questions. He was nice and gave us a chance to walk around and explore the sites. The suv was clean and warm since it was cold outside. Would recommend to others.

Alan is fantastic! He was incredibly kind, very generous with his time, and had all the logistics wired tight. Great communication and recommendations beforehand. And he knew all the great history at every stop we made and all the places in between too. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

We had an excellent experience at the National Archives with guide Annemarie. She has impeccable knowledge of the freedom documents, the paintings in the main gallery, and about the building itself. She was personable, friendly, professional, and fun to be around. It was like having our own history expert at our side. Highly recommended.

Christopher was wonderful. I learned so much and the 2 1/2 hour tour went very quickly. I would love to repeat this tour or book him for other museums as he is a wealth of knowledge. Learned much more from him pointing out specific/special exhibits/information that I ever could’ve done on my own.

Our original plan was to tour the museum ourselves, but there were no tickets available during our stay in DC. However, an excellent tip if this happens to you: you can still get in if you book a tour! And actually, I’m glad it worked out this way, because Tim was lovely. Very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. It’s a massive museum, even with a large portion being closed off for renovations right now, so it was good to have someone navigate it for us!

My daughter and I had planned to visit the Smithsonian Museum of natural history, and I wanted my daughter to experience all the important highlights. I scheduled a semi private tour and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our tour guide, Annemarie! She was so knowledgeable on any exhibit that we went to see. She gave us so much useful information. I really knew her history. She gave my daughter and I an amazing experience at the museum. I would highly recommend the store. We did the semi private tour and it was amazing.!
