Most convenient way to cover all DC highlights in half a day, great guide.
We had half a day, and we could not have covered everything if not for this. Amin, our driver cum guide, was super nice. He is very knowledgeable and articulate, and his instructions at every stop was very precise.. I highly recommend him. It was a really warm day in DC and it would have been really tiring if we were doing this with hop on/off or cycles. We had ample time in every spot. For a family with 3 of us, the pricing was really value for money, especially considering the convenience.

Best way to tour DC!!
This was a fun, unique way to tour DC and have a private experience without the congestion of many people on a larger bus. These vintage cars are so neat and they’re covered so you’re not in direct sunlight. We saw everything we could imagine and our tour guide did a great job of giving us time to get out and take photos as well! He even took photos of us by our request!

Fascinating and fun tour of the Archives
Alan was an excellent tour guide and extremely knowledgeable & well prepared! He seemed to enjoy what he does and gave us a summary of our tour, a map of the mall and list of restaurants ect. We definitely will sign up for his Arlington Tour next time.

Still memorable!
I did this tour 5 years ago. Nick was our guide, and 5 years later, i still remember him, and his jokes and his personality. Best tour guide ever.
I had a tour of white house, met former President's and visited DC numerous times. Nick still is the best.

Book your tour with Leigh@Babylon 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!

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.

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!

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.

Excellent
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.

Night time Monument tour
Pedro was our tour guide for this amazing experience. He had so much personal knowledge of all of the sites as well as a lot of anecdotal insights. We saw some more sites than were listed. Along with the Jefferson and Lincoln Memorial - we saw the WW 2 Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr., Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Marine Corp Memorial, the Capital, the Pentagon - it was so great. We were driven around in a beautiful, spacious, comfortable ride. We would highly recommend this tour.

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.
