The perfect way to tour Washington DC!
Washington DC is packed with monuments, historical sites, museums, and so much more. We choose an Adventure DC Tricycle tour ...and the experience was fantastic! They picked us up at our airbnb and took us to every place we wanted to see. Communication was excellent and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. Skip the extremely long walks and wait times. Take a tour with Adventure DC Tricycle and relax, have fun, and enjoy your next visit.

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.

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!

Northern Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour and Tasting from DC
marymY3594TY, Jul 2024
A must-try !!!
Last week, my colleagues and I visited Washington, DC, for work and had one day to spare. Since we had used DCAcar for our airport transfers and were pleased with their service, we decided to try their NOVA wine tour. We booked their 14-passenger Sprinter van for the tour. The driver arrived on time, as usual. He was professional and friendly, and we enjoyed a pleasant chat on the way to the wineries. He even made an extra stop for us and provided a bottle of cold water for each of us, which was especially appreciated in the hot weather.None of us are wine experts, but exploring the variety of wines was a real pleasure. We had a great time as a team, and it strengthened our relationships as colleagues. If you're a group of adults looking for a relaxing activity, I highly recommend trying the NOVA wine tour. Booking took just a few minutes, and the DCAcar team was very supportive and responsive to any questions we had. Since we weren't locals, we didn’t know which wineries to visit, so a special thanks to the DCAcar team for helping us create the itinerary.

Northern Virginia Private Custom Wine Tour and Tasting from DC

A perfect wine tour from DC to Nova
Wow, what a fantastic experience! After wrapping up a conference in Washington, DC, our group decided to make the most of our trip by adding an extra day for some wine tasting in Northern Virginia. We chose DCAcar's wine tour, and it turned out to be the best decision!First off, let me just say, their late model sprinters are top-notch. Clean, sleek, and super comfortable – The moment we got in, we knew we were in for a treat. The sprinters felt like a mix of luxury and coziness, which made our journey even more enjoyable.Our drivers were awesome – friendly, professional, and really knew their stuff.Now, onto the wine tasting itself – it was incredible! Each winery we visited had its own unique charm and an amazing selection of wines. We got to try everything from crisp whites to bold reds, all while soaking in the beautiful vineyard views. The pace of the tour was just right, giving us plenty of time to savor each stop without feeling rushed.Overall, the wine tour with DCAcar was a highlight of our trip. If you're in DC and have a day to spare, I can't recommend this enough. We had such a blast, and we'll definitely be booking with DCAcar again. Cheers to a great time!

How to get around DC from Union Station
We needed a place to park a 15 passenger van for the day while we went sightseeing. Union station was the perfect place. The cost is 2 dollars per hour $20 per day. We parked on level two every day and found parking spaces easily.We found out that the circulator will take you all over DC for FREEYou can catch it at several points around union station.The red line will take you to all the monuments in DC. Then will drop you off and pick you up in 15 to 20 minute intervals. And did I say it was FREEWe visited the Washington monument most of the Smithsonian‘s the Lincoln Memorial the World War II Memorial the Vietnam Memorial and the Korean Memorial... all while getting on and off of the circulator.It will also take you to most of the Smithsonian‘s for free.... pick up a circulator pamphlet and it will show you each bus route.We did go to the White House just remember you have to ask your congressman or senator to get you the tickets a few months in advanceWe did go to the Washington monument, you must pick up the tickets at 8 AM there at the base of the Washington monument each day for that day— they are first come first serve.We ate supper every day at union station at the same restaurant.... it’s very reasonable and quite delicious... they also serve a food bar that is 8.99 per pound
