The driver was so knowledgeable. We thought since it was a private tour it would not be lots of stops. The timing said 3-4 hours and we did 2 and 1/2. We learned new things we did not know.
Response from Host, May 2026
The stops are the same for all tour companies. The advantage of private tour is to have yoru persolized tour where you can pick and choose your stops. The 3- 4 hrs includes all stops where you can take your time at the memorials. Now if you were doing a tour where u don't get down too much , that would end up in a max of 2 hours.

Amin was a great guy and very knowledgeable about DC. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Washington and Amin made it easy for us. Thanks
Response from Host, May 2026
We thank you so much for your business and are really happy to hear that you enjoyed your visit to DC.
Christopher_V, May 2026
The driver/tour guide was very nice, though we wish that there is a tour guide who actually walk with us rather than drop us off
Response from Host, May 2026
The purpose of the private tour is to have a vehicle at your disposal, where the driver would take you to all monuments /memorials without you guys having the trouble and pain of parking your car and worrying about getting parking tickets. In short the drivers remain with the vehicle at all times .
Having said that our drivers make sure all information regarding memorials and monuments are given while driving and pinpointing all major stuff.
We really appreciate your business

Our private tour of Washington DC was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip! From the moment we started, everything was organized, informative, and so much fun. Seeing the monuments and memorials lit up while learning the history behind each stop made the experience unforgettable.
Our tour guide, Maaz, was phenomenal. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and truly passionate about DC and its history. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable, answered every question we had, and even shared hidden gems and interesting facts we would have never known otherwise. His energy and personality made the tour engaging from start to finish.
If you’re looking for the perfect way to experience Washington DC, I cannot recommend this private tour — and especially Maaz — enough. This was a 5-star experience all around, and we’ll be talking about it for a long time!
Response from Host, May 2026
We are so glad that you had a good time. Our drivers are professional and knowledgeable.
Thank you so much for your business and a great review. I definitely pass it on to Maaz.

Amir was amazing! He had a lot of knowledge of the area and safely parked and escorted us around the city. Picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel and gave us an extensive VIP tour of all the sights! It was great as we had limited time. Would absolutely book again when we return.

Amir was truly amazing. The weather, the sites, along with his awesome demeanor, made it an incredible private tour. Seeing Alexandria, D.C and all of the monuments as day turned to night was perfect. I cannot say enough praises for Amir and the service we received.

We were able to sight see at our own pace. That was great! Our tour guide took us to Virginia which was a special highlight. Pentagon, Air Force Memorial, and Arlington cemetery. If you are limited on time, but want to get a DC overview. This was a perfect tour for that. Fun afternoon.!

Enjoy the ride, relax. Our driver was very personable, made adjustments in the tour because we have been here twice before. I wanted our family group to ‘ride by’ some places not on his list. We also didn’t want to walk at some of the spot he stopped. Loved the time.

Deborah_F, Apr 2026
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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
I am so glad u enjoyed the tour in such a short , tight schedule. It was a pleasure for me to answer all your questions and take u to the memorials u wanted to see the most. Yes please come back with your family to enjoy the nations capital to its fullest. Thank u and God bless

Amin our driver was Excellent!
He customized our trip to just what we wanted!
He communicated very well with what to do etc.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank u so much for choosing us. God Bless
Debra_G, Apr 2026
This was a great experience and well worth the price. To see all the monuments , capital, etc would take all day if you were walking and you would be exhausted if you have young children and or seniors - this is the way to go Amin, our driver and guide was lovely , very accommodating, informative, kind and helpful. Lots of room for the 6 of us. 2 adults , 2 seniors , 2 children 11,9.
Thoroughly enjoyed - had lots of time for pictures Thanks Amin
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you guys. Was really a pleasure to see you all. Thank you and God bless
Michelle_S, Apr 2026
This tour is the absolute best way to see all the memorials in one day. Ahmed was a knowledgeable guide and knew how to drive around the city expertly and efficiently. Would recommend to anyone that has limited time in the city and wants to see as many of DC’s highlights as they can.

Thank u so much for the great comments. This really helps us with getting more customers .Thanks and God bless
Elizabeth_H, Mar 2026
Our driver was Amin! He seemed very knowledgeable and was open to going to the places we wanted to see. He was very specific with directions on where he would drop us off and where to go and be picked up. He allowed ample time to see each exhibit. We really enjoyed it.

Anita_H, Mar 2026
Great driver but was disappointed in Viator--they sent 6 person vehicle for 7 person booking. We "made it work," but one guest had to sit on the floor.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
So sorry to hear about that. Most of our suburbans have bench seating that would fit 3 people as compared to 2 individual Captain chairs .
We sent the the wrong suburban unintentionally.
Will be careful next time. Glad to hear tho you guys made it work .
Thank you for your business.
Greg_W, Mar 2026
What a fantastic use of our time! We were able to see so much more that going on our own. With the time we had we couldn’t have seen more or with a better driver.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
