Our driver, Khalid was amazing and so helpful getting us to the places we wanted to go. He picked us up early and constantly communicated along the trip. Excellent!

After our flight to Paris was cancelled we suddenly had a day in DC. I called Viator as we were in a hotel near the airport and had luggage. The agent was awesome. I had alot of special requests. 1. Start time 2. Pick up location 3. Drop off at airport 4. Ok to bring luggage
She said yes to all. Khalid picked us up right on time in his real nice Ford Expedition and our luggage was no problem. His car is clean and roomy. Very nice. He took us to all the major sights and told us cool stuff about Dc. He dropped us at the botanical gardens and told us where the bathrooms were. He gave us plenty of time and told us where to walk and what to see. He guarded the car and our luggage while we walked around. We were hungry and he dropped us at a deli and he waited while we had lunch. He was professional and fun! We had a great tour. He even took us to the pentagon 911 memorial. Highly recommend Khalid and Viator. Well
Worth it!

This is a great way to see the major sites in DC. We tailored our tour to our own needs and Khalid our driver was gracious at accommodating us.

David is was great! He took me around to all of the major sites in D.C. It was very convenient to have a driver and not to mention the benefits of driving around in an air conditioned vehicle. The weather was fairly warm, so this was great. I was able to bypass all the crowds and did not have to get on a bus. I would definitely recommend this tour.
William_S, Aug 2025
G was the best. He made our tour a great experience. I would highly recommend Viator. Thank you!!!!!

Exceptional tour guy who was knowledgeable but also very kind, considerate and accommodating. My husband has major mobility issues and Gee adjusted the tour so that we got as close to memorials as he could and drove to where he could easily pick us up after we toured the areas. Went out of his way to help him.
Jeff_G, May 2025
The tour of DC with Amin was the best. He was early for pickup, very personable and highly knowledgeable about the DC area. The trip exceeded our expectations and I just don’t recommend Amin and his company, I highly recommend him. Amin knows all the right stops and tells you exactly what to do and where to go when he drops you off. Excellent tour!

Everyone should ask for Gee when they book their tour. He picked us up at our hotel and gave us the grand tour of Washington DC and dropped us off at the airport in plenty of time for our flight home. He was very knowledgeable and courteous and very much the gentleman helping us in and out of the car at our many stops. Gee is a great asset to your company.
Gracie_E, Mar 2025
It was merely a private car. The driver didn’t know any history. I expected the tour to include something educational. We didn’t see all the sites due to the streets being closed. The tour ended early. The driver was nice.
Catherine_C, Jan 2025
Maaz was professional and attentive. He stated he had only worked for Viotar for one year and did not know much about the city. Because I had been in DC in the Spring 2024 and took a night Viotar tour, I expected the same type of interaction from the staff and great information about the city. I was disappointed that our driver lacked the same enthusiasm and information about the city.

You sent a party bus to pick up three elderly persons ,two of whom had never been to DC and who had booked a private tour. The unkempt driver was a very nice woman who spok broken English and had little idea of what was expected. We stoppedi the tour and went back to the hotel as we reached Arlington. The likelihood of my ever using your service again is slim to none
Zamir_M, Sep 2024
From booking, to refund, to changing booking, everything was perfect. Our private driver Chalid was very knowledgeable and let us spend as much as time as we needed on every attraction.
Grace_B, Aug 2024
The convenient parking spots our driver waited for us at were very helpful as it was a hot summer day and we wanted to get back in the car to cool off after every attraction we visited.
Reetu_A, Jun 2024
It was amazing. The tour guide (Amin) came right on time, super knowledgeable and very patient. Took us around and parked at the best points for easy access. We had a great time!
Irtaza_D, Jun 2024
It was really convenient getting off in front of every spot and spending as much time as we liked . The driver was amazing and gave us a proper guided tour .

I was having a difficult time finding a tour company that provided pickup and drop off from our hotel and offered service last minute (we literally booked the night before). I reached out to Viator and was put in touch with Mariel and she patiently helped me find the perfect driver. She set us up with Gee who picked us up in his very clean and comfortable Suburban at the Gaylord Resort at National Harbor. Gee was very knowledgeable of the Washington area and we were able to customize our tour to the sites we wanted to see and leave others out. You’re conveniently dropped off and picked up right in front of each attraction and we were able to stroll around at our own pace, never feeling rushed. We even visited one of the museums while he patiently waited. Gee offered us bottled water and snacks and even umbrellas since it started to drizzle. We’re all so glad we got to see such a remarkable city full of history and appreciate Gee for making it a pleasant experience. In case we ever make it back to DC I have his contact information saved and will not hesitate to call on him again.

Wonderful views of the monuments at a relaxed pace. Our driver was great and very knowledgeable. We had a great time!
Wanda_T, Dec 2023
Grigor from Best service limo was a great tour guide with over 30 years experience! He picked us up at Reagan Airport and started tour right away, highly recommended!

Amir was our driver and we were so lucky so have him. He was extremely nice and took care of us like family. Since it was a private tour we were able to add some places that we wanted to stop and see. We were able to get out of the car and take pictures and he was always right there to pick us back up. I booked this at the very last minute as we were leaving Virginia and heading to the airport, it worked out great and we got dropped off at the airport also. Amir knows so much information about the history of DC and told us all about the sites we were seeing. This tour was worth the money and it was great having just my husband and myself instead of a big bus. I feel we saw more sites and were able to stay a shorter or longer amount of time to enjoy places that appealed to us. We will be taking another tour and requesting Amir on our next trip to DC.
Kristi_G, Apr 2023
Overall, the tour was adequate. However, we did not go to all of the stops listed on the itinerary. We were given no time limits but then were rushed at the end. Certain points of interest were not pointed out while driving. The driver was friendly but there was a mild language barrier.
Nida_A, Jun 2022
Very friendly driver and fun experience the weather was beautiful and perfect layover fun in Washington
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Thank you so much for your kind review.
Elizabeth_F, Apr 2022
If your looking for a guided tour, this isn’t the tour for you. The driver was very nice, but had no knowledge of the tour sites.
He also spoke very little English and there was very little communication.
