What are people saying about Washington DC

Exactly what we'd hoped for
This is a perfect way to see Washinton and if I come again, I will definitely give Fisseha a call. He was early and met us exactly where he said he would. Unlike some tours, he was a safe driver and I didn't worry at all in traffic. He was very explicit with instructions about where he'd drop us off and where we'd meet back up and he didn't rush us at all. He kept us hydrated with a cooler of ice cold water.
Washington is so beautiful. The only thing I was disappointed with was the White House. It reminded me of a maximum security prison and the only place with any view at all was full of angry people crowding around the only area without black out screens.
Our time ran out before we got to see everything, but he said everyone should see the WWII memorial and we went there too. I can't decide which was my favorite, the WWII or FDR memorial. I love a good water feature. We were dropped off by the Washinton Eye instead of the starting point when we said that we were doing it next.
I guess if we had called, we could have made more adjustments to the itinerary than just taking it at our own pace and included a stop at the Smithsonian or Arlington.
Regardless, this was an amazing way to see Washington and I would book this again

Perfect individualized tour
We had a lovely tour. It was edited for our specific desires.. And included (per my husbands request) a trip to Ben’s Chili Bowl. We included a visit to the Pentagon Memorial that I hadn’t even thought of and the new Air Force Memorial. A drive through Arlington Cemetery was not available secondary to the heavy rain conditions but that isn’t anything our driver had control over. All in all a wonderful tour.

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!

Travel with a 91yr old and family of six made easy
We had Ahmed and he was polite and communicated clearly. He knew the city very well and did not drive reckless. My 91 yr old grandmother was treated like royalty from beginning to end. We were picked up at our Airbnb, asked what we have or haven’t seen before and customized a beautiful and historic tour around our answers. Over an intercom the names of the sites and where to view, were given. She was able to hear and see the whole city. I highly recommend this tour! 100/10

Pam was an exceptional...
Pam was an exceptional tour guide. It was near 100 degrees and she made sure everyone stayed cool by bringing each person a fan. She had such useful knowledge and made sure we got the entire tour! She let us stay as long as we wanted in each section and was so kind.

Tour and Maribeth the Guide, FIVE STARS!
Great tour! Skipped the long long timed entry line on July 3, 2026. It was literally 100 degrees that day and the line wrapped around the block. Met our Guide Maribeth on the front steps and immediately went to the front of the line and quickly thru security. Saw all the documents that we came to see and much more of the remaining Archives Museum with our guide. Then we were free to wander around at our own pace when the tour was over. Maribeth our guide was excellent. Very personable and knowledgeable about the subject we came to see. Interacted very well with my 17 year old son and included him in the presentations by letting him answer and ask questions. My son’s knowledge impressed me and I think maybe impressed Maribeth a little too! All in all, It was money well spent. A personal thank you to Maribeth, if she sees this review!

Another great tour with Babylon!
Such a wonderful guide with Maribeth and the stories and insights were amazing. We couldn't get inside the Supreme Court but we were given info on what was happening there which was great. Seeing The Library of Congress was easy and she even came with us to the Galleries after the tour. Hearing her past only emphasised where we were and what we were seeing. Highly recommend her and the tour company!

Thanks to Maureen
Babylon Tours in D.C. offered an incredible experience! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also patient and helpful, making every moment engaging. The small group allowed for fantastic conversations that revolved around history and culture. I loved how we were encouraged to ask questions and explore at our own pace. It truly felt personalized. Thank you so much, Maureen Yacobucci, for such a memorable tour!

Our tour guide Maurice...
Our tour guide Maurice was AMAZING! I seriously can’t compliment him enough. We were only in DC for one day, so we wanted to try and hit as many spots as possible, and this tour did just that! Maurice was super engaging and super knowledgeable. I don’t know how someone can remember that much info! From hidden secrets, fun facts, and bits of history, he knew it all! I walked away with a lot of new information. I really enjoyed how he connected his real life experience into the tour! Maurice was super funny and engaging, and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting DC (and would highly, highly recommend Maurice)!

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.

If you do one thing in DC, do this.
Wow! Christopher was an amazing guide, and turned this into the trip of a lifetime. I’ve been to DC a number of times, but never had the chance to hit all the amazing memorials at night. The views were incredible, and Christopher’s commentary was insightful and entertaining for our whole family. We felt like celebrities as he would drop us feet away from all the sites and gave us as much or as little time as we wanted at each to experience them. When someone tells me they are visiting DC this will my top recommendation not to miss.

Great Experience with my Board of Directors
It was great for a business experience with my board of directors while in DC for a convention. We saw so much in DC within 3 hours and had a great time. Our driver was so great and also told us all the highlights during the drive as well. Well worth the time and cost.

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.
