Top Washington DC Day Trips

We did a tour with Alan on July 3rd 2026 in the middle of a 100 degree plus heatwave and had the BEST time. Communication from Alan began months prior to the actual tour as he built us a tour based on what we wanted to see, visit and do. Excellent communication from the start. He picked us up at our hotel at the specific time we agreed upon. He drove us in his persobal vehicle, a clean, comfy, roomy air conditioned car. We visted Arlington Cemetery where he took us to specific graves we wanted to visit as well as other intetests there. We spent the other half of the day at Mount Vernon, whete he was obviously well known to the staff there. He knew that property like the back of his hand and pointed out things to us nobody employed there did. We had lubch at Mt Vernin as well. He had a backpack cooler filled with ice chilled bottles if water that he offeted through the course of the day and provided heat shielding umbrellas as well. Even when just driving to the destinations, he pointed out places of interest, told us stories, gave us facts and trivia. At the end of the tour, we feel like we have gained a friend and from here on out, any trip we make to DC, he will be our guide. He was funny, smart, helpful, passionate, patient and knowledgable. His love and knowledge of American History was evident and customer service exceptional. This tour, although expensive, was worth every penny and we got exactly what we paid for......his undivided attentiion .He truly customizes the trip to what you want to do and see. Thank you Alan!
