Great day!

This was a wonderful experience and learning from Chris was great! We enjoyed the drive and the food at Mt Vernon was great, too!

Mount Vernon & Arlington National Cemetery tour

Stephanie_R, Nov 2025
Christopher was great! He is friendly, knowledgeable and fun with his facts. He is kid-friendly and riding in his Sprinter van was super comfortable. We’ll be back to do more with him!

Chris was awesome! Worth every penny!

Chris was great! Showed up on time, adjusted the tour to what we wanted to do, was a wealth of knowlege and ensured we were not run over by all those teenagers (had eldery in our group)!!!. He was a wonderful guide!

Worth the expense

Gracie_E, Mar 2025
Our tour guide was a wealth of information. He was very patient with my kids and adapted the tour to fit our needs. Although more expensive than I wanted to pay, compared to the other options, it was worth the experience for the quality.

Memorable Arlington Mem and Mt Vernon

maria_k, Oct 2024
Christopher was a great guide. We enjoyed Arlington Memorial and Mt Vernon with him because he was very knowledgeable. Arlington Memorial and Mt Vernon shld be visited by all Americans at least once in their lifetime.

Wonderful tour & tourguide

Debra_B, Jul 2024
Both Arlington & Mount Vernon were so meaningful and steeped in history. Christopher brought it all to life with his informative stories. He also added to the tour by taking such good care us. All four of us highly recommend this tour!

Arlington & Mt Vernon

Cara_C, Jul 2024
We had a wonderful tour with Christopher, last week on our trip to Washington DC. He took us to Arlington Cemetary and to Mt. Vernon. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the important sites at both. He was an amazing tour guide and we loved every minute! Book a tour with Christopher!

Incredible experience with a history savant

Craig_W, Jun 2024
Christopher picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable SUV packed with ice cold waters. We had an in depth tour of Arlington, Alexandria, and Mount Vernon. His historical knowledge is second to none. He also knows the best routes, places to stand, and the times to go. He makes this experience easy.

Knowledgeable and a huge time saver

Kenneth_L, May 2024
Christopher was a wonderful guide. He is full of knowledge and knows exactly where to go and the best way to get there. You won’t be disappointed.

Personal concern of the tour guide equals the tour which was fabulous!

Pat_M, Apr 2024
The whole tour was fabulous until one of my sisters had a medical episode at Mt Vernon. Christopher was so helpful. He found someone to get her checked out in first aid and someone with a golf cart to take us back to his vehicle.

Fantastic afternoon!

Chris_A, Mar 2024
This was the best private tour that we’ve experienced. The vehicle was spacious and clean. Chris was personable, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in our family had an incredible afternoon! I can’t recommend this enough!

Perfect Tour

Ronda_Z, Feb 2024
Incredible tour! It was a perfect day. We learned so much and saw so much. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and we learned so much. He was also very accomodating. Our kids loved the tour also! Highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic 🤩

Eleanor_H, Sep 2023
Christopher- was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable. The tour exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend

Amazing tour, amazing guide, amazing day!

Sarah_B, Mar 2022
What a wonderful day! Christopher was a wonderful tour guide and really enhanced our day beyond our expectations. Our day started at Arlington Cemetery and Christopher knew just the right spot for us to watch the changing of the guard. He also took us around to all the most important sites at Arlington and enriched the experience with stories and facts we had never heard before. Definitely not a boring rehash of the same old history. Our day wrapped up at Mt. Vernon. Again everything was perfect. The timing, organization, what exhibits were worth seeing, which weren't and always willing to make sure we felt we had seen everything we wanted to see. Cannot thank Christopher enough for a truly perfect day.

DC again -+++

raymond_t, Aug 2021
Chris was accommodating and most knowledgeable. We learned lots of new historical info even after 5+ previous trips to DC.

Awesome Mount Vernon Tour!

Shawn_H, Oct 2018
If you are visiting the DC area, do yourself a huge favor and book this tour. Christopher is the absolute best! He is very kind, interesting and knowledgeable about the city. The tour was absolutely precise and planned to the tiniest detail. It is an entirely different experience than the box bus tours. Fabulous!!
