Greatest day!!!
Dustin was wonderful. In fact he went out of his way to make sure we didn’t miss our tour. Traffic was terrible and the parking was a mess. We were running a few behind but he waited on us. He is very knowledgeable about Washington DC. We learned so much. Thanks Dustin! You rock!!!

We were a bit unlucky with the weather; it rained the whole time. Despite this, our guide expertly led us to the memorials on the National Mall. By the end, we were soaking wet but also very satisfied.

Great small group tour!
Just our group of 5 was on the tour and the tour was excellent. Our tour guide was Jared and he shared a wealth of information. He allowed us to customize the tour to the sites and times we wanted since it was our group only and he even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel! The vehicle was a deluxe van. We would definitely recommend him and the small group tour!

We visited all the monuments, the Capitol and drove by the White House (a restricted black fence was up so viewing was limited). Fisseha Genemo was our tour guide- he was very friendly and informative regarding US history. Water was also provided and time was allotted for us to walk around the monuments. The van was very clean and comfortable. It was able to accommodate my father’s transport wheelchair but just note there is a running board and two (one of them low in height) steps to get in but my elderly parents were able to manage it. This is good option because the golf cart tours can not accomodate wheelchairs. We had a wonderful time with Fisseha Genemo!

Awesome! Don't know how you would visit these museums for the first time without a tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour interesting for all of us, especially my 12 & 9 year old granddaughters. She was very accommodating and understanding when we were a few minutes late due to road closures and fencing.

Private Mt. Vernon/Arlington Cemetery Tour for up to 10 Guests

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.
