What are people saying about Washington DC

Beyond grateful.
We could not have had a better experience! Our guide Alan went ABOVE and BEYOND for my family. I loved that he contacted us prior to our trip to get to know us and our needs...and boy do we have needs! I brought my parents to DC so that my father could visit the Vietnam Wall to say goodbye to those he lost. Both of my parents have very limited mobility, and to say that getting them to and from where we were going was difficult would be an understatement. Alan was patient, accommodating, and understanding. He is also VERY knowledgeable about the area and historically accurate.
I will be forever grateful to Alan for giving my dad such a great experience.
If you are planning to visit DC, you will not be disappointed booking a tour with Alan!

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!

National museum of art tour with Annemarie
Annemarie , our tour guide , was amazing and very knowledgeable with each and every exhibit. She was very patient and able to answer all of my inquisitive daughter’s questions! I love that it’s a small, intimate group size especially for my autistic daughter who gets easily overwhelmed within large groups. I highly recommend this tour, even if art isn’t your cup of tea, you will definitely learn and discover a newfound respect for the fine arts with Annemarie’s true passion within her words!

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!

Wonderful Experience
I booked a late night tour on my stop over in DC. Amin was my guide/driver on this fantastic experience. He was knowledgeable, entertaining, and an amazing driver. With Amin's guidance, I saw much more of DC than I expected from the tour description. I had ample time and opportunity to take pictures. The Vietnam War Memorial was the one I wanted to explore a bit and Amin gave me the time without rushing. That meant a lot to me.
I can not recommend this tour highly enough. So much history, and every question I had Amin had my answer. Thank you Viator and Thank you Amin for this amazing experience. Yes, I need to bring my family next time to DC and book this tour.

Only way to see the sights!
We had a great time on the night e-cart tour of DC with Jared! He was fun, kind, and very attentive—opening doors, making sure we got back to the right cart at each stop, and keeping everything smooth and easy.
He shared a great mix of history and fun facts, and with only four of us in the cart, it felt really personal. The e-cart was such a fun way to see the city at night.
Definitely the way to do a DC tour—highly recommend!

Annemarie was amazing!
Annemarie was absolutely amazing! She made sure no one was left behind and took the time to answer all of our questions thoroughly. She was incredibly thoughtful—giving us time to take photos and even offering to take pictures for us and others.
If you’re looking for a guide in DC who goes beyond general knowledge and shares deeper insights that most people wouldn’t know, Annemarie is the one to choose.
Thank you for such an incredible experience!

A Rich and Extraordinary 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.

A Knowledgeable, Respectful, and Engaging Guide with Humor!
Leigh was an outstanding guide at Arlington National Cemetery. She combined deep knowledge and respect with a great sense of humor that made the tour engaging and memorable. Her storytelling brought history to life in a meaningful way, and she made the whole experience both informative and uplifting. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Arlington.

Must do Smithsonian tour
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.

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.
