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.

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.

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.

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!

Great experience - great driver, expert guide
We had a great experience and would highly recommend. We booked a four hour hop on, hop off excursion and opted to pay extra for a tour guide in addition to the driver. Our group was 18 family members in town for college graduation, ranging in age from 8 to 80. We had some ideas of the stops we wanted, and Teri our guide worked with us to incorporate them as well as other highlights she recommended. It worked perfectly. Family members could "choose their gear" with respect to walking, and the more ambitious were able to do several things in the same stop (eg Korean War memorial along with Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam). Thanks to Inam our driver and Teri our guide for a great experience!

Perfect services provided by Amadeus Royal Limousine
My last trip with the Amadeus Royal Limousine happened in April of this year but being a representative of the organizations that administers exchange programs, I’ve had a pleasure of working with this company for many years arranging the city tours and airport transfers for the groups of international visitors hosted by my organization and can tell that the company provides perfect services: drivers have been always polite, arrived on time, and have had perfect knowledge of the city which is really important for the city tours. On many occasions over the period of several years, we’ve used vehicles of different sizes, and all vehicles provided were clean and comfortable. Leadership and administrative support have always been accommodative, and I can highly recommend this company services to everyone.
