Top Washington DC Private Sightseeing Tours

Our guide, Leigh, was amazing! She turned our whole visit into an unforgettable experience! Well informed, witty, she kept our interest intact for almost 3 hours! The museum itself is full of very interesting objects, most of the original. Highly recommended!

Amazing Tour with the great tour guide Nick who made the evening amazing and made history fun and informative. His expertise and sense of humor made the magical evening fly by and his generous spirit made us all feel special. Wonderful guide, wonderful tour wonderful evening.

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

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.

Our tour guide Paul Glenshaw was absolutely exceptional. As someone who worked at the National Art Gallery he possesses an amazing amount of unique information, including quirky information only someone who worked there would know (ask about the pistol range). Paul is also a talented artist who is passionate about art and he engages you so that you view the various pieces of art differently, with greater understanding. The backstories of the various works of art intensifies their impact. As he is also very personable, he made the entire experience wonderful.

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!

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.

Tour guide was pleasant, friendly and engaging. She was so patient with us when my husband couldn’t find his way back to the meeting place putting us behind schedule. She was willing to go over the time allotted for the tour and go the extra mile to show us things we requested.
