From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Roger_K, Sep 2026
Must do trip to Mount Vernon
wonderful private tour. Picked us up at our hotel, gave wonderful insights of Alexandria on our ay to Mount Vernon and also on the way back. Great ideas for navigating in Washington too. The visit to Mount Vernon was breathtaking in the view of the Potamic and the Mount Vernon compact information. It preceded and lead to the Constitution. The grounds and out buildings are wonderful too... including the livestock raised there. We bought some whiskey made with Washingtons original recipe and with grain raised there.

Washington DC Private Guided Bus Day Tour with Step Off Guide

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.

Tour Guide Saved the Day!

Tour Guide Saved the Day!
Mr. Kareem, our tour guide literally 'saved the day' for me and my family on this tour! Our original tour guide never showed up at our 'designated pick up' spot. I called the DC Touring co., and they told me that because we were "late" (despite the fact that we were there 30 minutes early), we would be "unable to go on the tour that day." So then I called Cool Washington DC, who managed to find a replacement tour guide (Mr. Kareem) within 20 minutes. Mr. Kareem was fantastic...he took us everywhere we wanted to go. He let us stay as long as we wanted to see the site. It turned out to be a wonderful tour of Wash. DC, instead of the 'nightmare' it could have been for us. I give credit to Cool Washington DC for acting so quickly to find another tour guide...I especially give credit to Mr. Kareem, our "back up" Tour Guide for turning what could have been a 'disaster' into a day of lifetime memories for me and my family. Thank you Mr. Kareem...You are the BEST (IMHO).

From Washington DC Mount Vernon and Alexandria Private Day Tour
Dennise_N, Jul 2026
Love the Customization
We had done a previous private day tour with Rami. I had looked at other tours but none would get us the day we wanted. So I booked this tour and was super excited Rami joined us again. He picked us up on time at our hotel, we told him what we wanted out of the day, he said the day was ours. We drove to Mount Vernon and he dropped us off. I had already reserved our Mansion Time the night before. I didn’t know how much time to allow but I did 1.75 hours from hotel pickup. That gave us plenty of time to get to Mount Vernon and sightsee the grounds before getting in line to do the tour, and then we finished the rest of what we wanted to see and went to gift shop where we called Rami when we were ready. He picked us up right up front and took us to Old Alexandria where my goal was a little sightseeing but mostly shopping. We had just enough time to hit what we wanted and then grab gelato/sorbet before we were picked back up to head back to hotel. This day could have been a little longer for me to do all the things but I appreciated the opportunity to do it. We enjoyed the day not having to worry about driving, parking, and not knowing where to go. We loved getting to know Rami more and hearing the history of the area. And appreciated him giving us suggestions but letting the day completely being our own. Thanks again!

We loved this customizable experience. The driver, Bill, was very knowledgeable. We had a great day, and he made us feel like VIPs. This tour was perfect. We got to visit everything we wanted on our own time schedule. He was 15 minutes early for pickup to make sure he wasn't caught in traffic. This tour was worth the extra cost over a shared tour.
