Private Washington DC City Tour
B1359YDjimmys, Sep 2026
Highly Recommend Mishelle for a Personalized DC Tour
Mishelle was fantastic! She promptly picked my wife and me up at our hotel and greeted us with a warm smile. She started by asking about our top priorities, then created a route that made sure we could see everything on our list.She was easy to hear and understand, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Washington, D.C. traffic can be hectic, but we always felt completely safe in her vehicle as she navigated the cars, buses, bikes, pedestrians, and busy streets.Mishelle made sure we had plenty of time for photos, to watch the Changing of the Guard, and to take in each stop without feeling rushed. Her experience really showed when she encouraged us to take complimentary cold water before our walk through Arlington National Cemetery—it was a small gesture that made a big difference.Highly recommend Mishelle if you are looking for a personable, knowledgeable guide and a truly friendly sightseeing experience in Washington, D.C.

Great way to explore DC monuments and maximize your day!
Bus driver - Sylvia - very friendly and funny! Tour guide - Deion - very captivating and knowledgeable. He kept everyone, including children, interested throughout the evening tour. Enjoyed seeing the monuments at night with no crowds and illuminated. Plus opting for the night tour allowed us to maximize time in the museums during the day. I totally recommend it!

DC Tour with Nick
We really enjoyed our tour with Nick! He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and also had some great jokes. Our bus driver was great at navigating all the streets of DC and was also very entertaining. The boat cruise was ok but would have rather went to other places. This is the way to see the important sites and not have to worry about finding parking or driving in DC traffic.

VIP Best of DC with US Capitol + National Archives Reserved Entry

Definitely a must! Start your DC trip here!
Loved the all day tour. Saw all the key locations with the exception of The White House (closed due to security / riot fencing that was up). Tour guides (Sam and Nick) - Nick, especially, exceptional. Informative. Fun. Engaging. Calvin, bus driver, also great guy. Definitely the way to "start" your stay in DC. You see everything and then, if something really intrigues you, you know what to revisit. Do wish there had been more explanation of the USAA National Military Monument (at base of Lincoln Memorial / between that and the Washington Monument) as we discovered the names on the stripes of those 2 erected stone flags the night before we left on another tour and were able to search our fathers' names on it. Would have done it earlier had we known. But the all day tour and time spent on the Potomac was great. We went in late September - great weather!

Had a great Segway tour. The guide was incredibly nice and knowledgeable and very considerate to the range of experience within the team. I travelled on my own so he was kind enough to take some pictures of me, alongside other group pictures for people. he answered everyone's questions very well and was super personable.
