⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Worth Every Penny!Without question, this was one of the best experiences we had in Washington, D.C.Bob was an outstanding guide. His knowledge of the city’s history, architecture, monuments, memorials, and the stories behind each landmark was incredible. He didn’t just take us from place to place, he brought Washington to life. Every stop had meaning because Bob explained the history, the symbolism, and the events that shaped our nation.One of the funniest parts was watching the crowds of people walking in the summer heat. You could see so many people stopping to rest with tired feet, sore legs, and exhausted faces, while our family was sitting back, smiling, laughing, and effortlessly taking in everything around us. We had the best seat in the city while enjoying a private guided tour. It honestly felt like we had discovered Washington, D.C.’s best-kept secret.We were traveling with our 3 year old, and Bob made the experience enjoyable for everyone. He was personable, funny, professional, and genuinely passionate about what he does.If you’re visiting Washington, D.C., don’t spend the day exhausted trying to figure everything out on your own. Book a tour with Nonpartisan Pedicab and ask for Bob. It was hands down one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we’ll never forget. Five stars isn’t enough!

An Phenomenal Day Visiting Inspiring Attractions in Our Nation's Capital.
We booked the tour for our three teen age grandsons sons and ourselves. Deb Greenbush was our outstanding guide: personable, full of background information, answers to our questions, and tips on the best ways to enjoy the various venues. Thanks to her perseverance and our efficient driver, Adam, we were able to enjoy guided visits to the Arlington National Cemetery (including changing of the guard at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier), the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Supreme Court, the U.S. Capitol building and the Iwo Jima Memorial.I am a native of Washington and have spent all my life living in the DMV. I was quite favorably impressed by what we saw and heard. Our three grandsons felt likewise. I am confident they will remember this visit to D.C. for the rest of their lives.

A Fabulous Private Tour with Robert!
We had an absolutely wonderful private tour with Robert! The weather was beautiful, and traveling by pedicab was such a fun, comfortable way to experience Washington. We saw far more than we ever could have managed on foot, and the entire tour felt relaxed, interesting, and completely tailored to us.Robert was friendly, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful company. We brought our two small dogs, and he was incredibly accommodating, even happily keeping them with him whenever we wanted to step inside somewhere.We never felt rushed, and Robert made the entire experience easy and enjoyable from beginning to end. This was truly one of the highlights of our trip. I would enthusiastically recommend Robert and Nonpartisan Pedicab to anyone visiting Washington!

A++ family experience with Chris at Arlington and Mt. Vernon

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.

Above and beyond experience!
Chris was spectacular! We anticipated more of a scripted presentation, closely monitored times and being ushered along. Instead it was as if your favorite cousin took you on the tour, he was friendly and personable. He not only knew the the area and history of the surroundings but he thoroughly knew the history and details of Arlington and Washington's Mount Vernon. He gave us guidance and pointed out easy to miss significant landmarks. He was accommodating, flexible, and punctual. We had such a great time.

Old Town, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Private Tour

Awesome Tour & Tour Guide!
Absolutely LOVED our Guide! He has 30 years' experience and was extremely knowledgeable. They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which made it easy for my dad who was in a wheelchair. As we drove to Mt. Vernon, we were able to learn some of the interesting history of Alexandria and even stop at one of the churches. Since this was a private tour, we were able to go at our own pace. We had reserved lunch at the Mount Vernon Inn, and everyone loved their meal. The guide picked us back up at the designated time and showed us around Mt. Vernon. I would highly recommend trying this option if you want to go to Mount Vernon.

Family of 7, DC visit during government shutdown
We used Monumental Tours for transportation and 2 tours while in DC. Our family ranged in ages 4-77. Fawzi was a friendly, safe and very reliable driver. Edgar was a wonderful tour guide that had so much information that our history loving family enjoyed. He kept our 4 year old engaged while entertaining all of us for a 7 hour tour! We chose which sites to visit after reviewing Edgar and Abe's suggestions. We got our money's worth since they helped us pack in so much of DC, Mt Vernon and Alexandria. Edgar also took many fun photos of us and shared them. We have already recommended them to other friends. 10+ of 10!

Gettysburg Day Tour
Our driver, Ehab, was very courteous and dressed well. We were driven in a very comfortable Cadillac Escalade XL. The private guide was very knowledgeable. The only disappointing thing was Eisenhower’s place was closed due to the shutdown but that was not a fault of this tour.

Amazing & Interesting trip.
Everything about this tour was great. Tom, our Tour Guide, was the best! He picked us up at Union Station early & spent more than the allotted time taking us to all the most specific sites. We so highly recommend him with DC Military Tours to anyone wanting all the must sees ~ he was full of knowledge regarding everything about Arlington National Cemetery.

Unforgettable Tours of Arlington

Arlington Cemetery Private Tour

Unforgettable Tours of Arlington
The past two years, Aril 2023 and 2024, I have taken a grandson to DC during spring break and both times we employed Tom for our tours. He is so personable and knowledgeable and easily communicates with both adults and teens. On our most recent tour, my grandson said that if his history teacher was half as interesting he would have aced history, and our grandson from the first tour in 2023 was so impressed he talked about it for weeks afterwards and, perhaps because of Tom's own Navy service, chose to enlist into the Navy straight out of high school. Tom takes care of his clients, placing us in the perfect position to see the changing of the guard. His knowledge of Arlington and his reverence for the fallen soldiers leaves you with a renewed sense of patriotism and respect for this great country of ours. My wife Kathy and I highly recommend Tom for all your DC tour interests.
