Fantastic tour!
Terrific experience! We decided to do the tour on the spur of the moment and are so glad we did. We've lived in DC for a long time but didn't know any of the history, it was fascinating. Our guide was welcoming, considerate, and knew so much. She was happy to answer all our questions. It was our first tour with her and we'll definitely do it again. I strongly recommend this tour and guide!

Such a fun tour! The tour guide is amazing. You can tell she loves DC! I have lived here since 1976, and she told me so many things I did not know. I can't wait to take more of her tours.

Great entertainment
I would highly recommend this show. I have told all my friends about it. Brian is very funny and engaging. The room is small, so just about everyone in the audience will participate, but don't worry. Brian does not embarrass or make anyone uncomfortable with being on stage.

My daughter and I were looking for a bit of fun on our last night in DC and landed on this show. We grabbed a drink at the hotel and then proceeded in to see the mentalist. It was really a lot of fun and made us laugh.Brian seemed to do this show in a couple of places in DC, so look around if you find a show that is sold out.

A++ family experience with Chris at Arlington and Mt. Vernon
New York City
Private Mt. Vernon/Arlington Cemetery Tour for up to 10 Guests
166scotts, Aug 2026
A++ family experience with Chris at Arlington and Mt. Vernon
Chris, who is the owner of the business, is by far the most phenomenal tour guide we have ever had on any vacation. He was so dedicated to making sure that we covered every square inch of Mt. Vernon and Arlington National Cemetery, taking us to see spots other tour guides do not typically take you. Also impressive, was Chris' encyclopedic knowledge of both sites, in addition to knowledge about all other sites of Washington D.C., our national history, and key figures in our national history. I asked him how he knew so much, and he shared that he spends a great deal of his time in places like the Library of Congress, the DC museums, and in reading countless books about our nation's history and our key figures. Finally, Chris is just a great guy to share the day with. My son and I were blown away and so appreciative of having the privilege of having Chris host us for the day.
