Worth the money.
Wonderful tour. A great way to visit Arlington and Mt. Vernon in one day. Picked up from our hotel in DC. 9am, returned to hotel 4pm. Definitely worth seeing if you’re in DC. Great for couples and families with kids also. Very convenient, didn’t need to schedule transportation or purchase tour tickets, everything is included with this tour. Our guide Brittney was fantastic. She has a pleasant demeanor and knowledgeable. A great way to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary.

Private Mount Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery Tour
James_B, Jul 2026
Great experience!
Our guide Brittany made the experience first class right from the beginning. Pick up right at our hotel and then a quick stop at Walgreens to get some essentials. We were visiting during the busiest ever weekend for DC…4th of July for the 250th during an unprecedented heat wave. We were dropped off right at the door or entry to all places visited making it easy. She also took the time to help me find a grave at Arlington that was important to me as a Marine Veteran, John Basilone. The entire experience felt very VIP and made a visit during a very busy and hot time a joy. You won’t regret this decision and will feel better when you see the crowds that don’t have the benefit of a VIP guide.

Regis is Amazing 🤩
New York City
VIP Private Tour of Washington DC
Wanda_L, Apr 2026
Regis is Amazing 🤩
This tour was everything I wanted it to be! Regis was genuinely knowledgeable, fun and accommodating. The private tour is a bit more pricey, but worth every penny. We were able to see everything we wanted at our own pace, without worrying about the strict schedule of a group tour. We ere also able to see some monuments and memorials which usually aren’t included in traditional tours. We did this on our first night in town. It was so nice to get to all the major photo spots out of the way in one go so we could focus on museums the rest of our trip. Overall, I highly recommend!

Christopher is AMAZING!
Christopher was amazing! He was super kind and an incredibly knowledgeable history buff! Christopher told interesting stories and pointed out important landmarks as we drove around. He also walked with us to different monuments and allowed us to make that part of our trip our own as well. Christopher was very accommodating to our needs and interests. Our family of 6 adults had a wonderful time and would highly recommend Christopher if you are looking for an enjoyable history lesson with beautiful scenery! Thank you so much Christopher for sharing fun facts and making sure we had an incredible time!

Absolutely Amazing DC Tour — Highly Recommend!
We had an absolutely amazing day touring Washington DC, and our guide Christopher truly made the experience unforgettable. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable — not just sharing the key historical facts, but also so many fascinating extra details that brought each site to life. His storytelling made the tour both informative and genuinely fun.As first-time visitors from Australia, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to Washington DC. He made everything easy to understand, engaging, and memorable, and his passion for the city really shone through. We learned so much while also having a great time — the day flew by.If you’re looking for a tour guide who is professional, friendly, entertaining, and exceptionally knowledgeable, look no further. This tour was a highlight of our trip, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone visiting DC. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!

A Spooktacular Halloween at Mount Vernon – Fun, History & Sweet Treats! 🎃
We booked our Halloween Trick-or-Treat tour at Mount Vernon through Journal Tour Travels, and it was absolutely fantastic! The event was the perfect mix of fun and education — full of history, candies, and cuteness all around.My kids had such a great time dressing up, collecting treats, and learning about George Washington in such an engaging way. The staff and guides were wonderful with the children, keeping everything lively and informative. The historic setting made the Halloween magic even more special.Huge thanks to Journal Tour Travels for organizing such a well-planned and memorable experience. We can’t wait to join another family-friendly tour with them soon! 👻🍭🇺🇸
