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!

Best Tour and Guide-You don’t want to miss!
We had a fantastic time on this tour and it was the best decision we made on the trip. Our driver picked us up directly from the hotel, which was a blessing because we had just gotten into town did mot know our way around yet. Mark was informative and told us things we wouldn’t have otherwise known if we had gone independently. He saved us a lot of walking too because we were dropped off at the entrances to every monument. The air-conditioned Mercedes van was clean, cool, and comfortable. This was definitely worth the money and I will recommend it to all.

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!

Our tour guide was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, flexible and very patient with my 3 elderly siblings who walk slowly. I have a very scholarly brother and cousin with whom he meshed well with their knowledge and endless questions! On top of that he had a great sense of humor and lots of positive energy.

Greg_W, Jul 2026
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.

Awesome road bike tour through DC.
My family and I have been on over a dozen guided bike tours throughout the world. This tour with Jim was an exceptional experience from the moment he picked us up at our hotel to our drop-off at the end of the day. The bikes were the highest quality we’ve ever used. The routes ran mostly on car-free roads and paths through an unexpected national treasure — Rock Creek Park. Jim has a tremendous depth of knowledge about the area, but more than that, he’s simply a wonderful guy who really knows his bikes. He earned a Watson Fellowship in college to bike around the world, and later served as president of the National Bike Alliance. We can’t recommend this tour enough!

The day of our tour there...
The day of our tour there was a No King manifestation in DC and Heidi our tour guide had to modify the different stops. We could not get near the Capitol because of the people were moving that way and the police had the different streets closed. Even though, Heide attempted the best she could to complete the schedule.
