No Historical Knowledge

Mary_C, Apr 2026

I did not realize that these are just airport transporters. I was expecting that our driver would know some history but, he knew nothing at all after living there for 35 years.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

I truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We aim to offer more than just a ride; our goal is a chauffeur-driven tour where you can stop for photos and enjoy the views at your own pace while the driver shares local highlights. It’s disappointing to hear that the 'semi-narrated' part of your trip was missing. We will use your feedback to ensure our team is better prepared to share the history of the city they call home.

Great day in beautiful DC

Andrea_S, Apr 2026

We loved this customizable experience. The driver, Bill, was very knowledgeable. We had a great day, and he made us feel like VIPs. This tour was perfect. We got to visit everything we wanted on our own time schedule. He was 15 minutes early for pickup to make sure he wasn't caught in traffic. This tour was worth the extra cost over a shared tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We are so happy you felt like VIPs—because to us, you are! It’s wonderful to hear that Bill’s early arrival and local knowledge made your day so seamless. We truly believe that being able to explore on your own schedule is what makes a private sightseeing service worth it, and we’re glad you found that 'extra' value compared to a shared tour. We'll be sure to pass your high praise along to Bill!

Kenneth’s tour is a 20/20

Girls day in DC

Jennifer_J, Apr 2024

We celebrated my moms birthday with a girls trip to DC, we have lived in VA our entire lives and never had a tour of DC. Our driver Andre was great! He was very knowledgeable about DC and took us everywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend this private tour of DC!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Happy birthday to your mom, and thank you for choosing to celebrate with DCAcar on your special girls' trip in DC! It's wonderful to hear that even as Virginia natives, you found new delight in exploring DC with our Moonlight tour. We're so glad that Andre provided a memorable experience with his knowledge and tailored the tour to your preferences. Thank you for recommending our private tour. We look forward to hosting you again, perhaps for another celebration or just to uncover more hidden gems in the capital!

A must!!

Elizabeth_T, Apr 2024

Andre was an absolute pleasure to spend our morning with in DC! While he had an itinerary already planned, he made sure to let us know that we could go wherever we wanted. He was knowledgeable, polite, and engaging. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a personalized experience while visiting DC!

Levi was so knowledgeable and accommodating. We got to see all of Washington DC and he made the best effort to get us as close as possible to areas that were blocked due to a rally. Thank you!!
