Fantastic tour!
Terrific experience! We decided to do the tour on the spur of the moment and are so glad we did. We've lived in DC for a long time but didn't know any of the history, it was fascinating. Our guide was welcoming, considerate, and knew so much. She was happy to answer all our questions. It was our first tour with her and we'll definitely do it again. I strongly recommend this tour and guide!

Totally fantastic experience. James our guide had such a knowledge of each site we visited. He added so much to just seeing the sights! Driver Kris was also amazing and went out of his way a few times to give us some extra views and sights. Well worth going with these guys as both are experienced at what they do and have such a wealth of facts and information and very willing to answer any questions! Definitely a great and fair price for our 3 hour tour

Very tour bus EVER with an incredible team!
Kris was a very kind and conscientious driver. He made sure we had time to capture pictures of key sites and went above and beyond to sow us things that may not have been a part of the “ regular” sites. We went on 9/11 and we appreciated his efforts to show us the pentagon and the flag that marked the scar from the terror attack. James was wildly knowledgeable and funny. He was open to questions and generally always knew the history behind the answers HIGHLY recommend

In life, sometimes you end up on a tour with very drunk people who interrupt a lot, and it's really frustrating. However, Trevor, our guide, was awesome and handled it admirably! He was super knowledgeable and kind, and a great storyteller. Really enjoyed despite the unavoidable circumstances.

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.

A++ family experience with Chris at Arlington and Mt. Vernon

Private Mt. Vernon/Arlington Cemetery Tour for up to 10 Guests
166scotts, Aug 2026
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.

DC Monuments and Memorials Day Tour
Sightsee44758435850, Jul 2026
Excellent tour!
This tour was excellent! The tour is done in a small air-conditioned van so it was not too crowded. The air conditioning was very welcome since we did the tour in July. The tour guide told us many things about the places we were passing as we went to each place that we stopped. For each memorial and site that he brought us, he gave us the story about it and told us how best to access the places that we would want to see. He dropped us as close as he could and gave us 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the site. He was very flexible. Since we were quicker with some sites, he gave us longer with others and even added in a site not originally listed. There was also a link that we could listen to on our phones to hear more about the things that we were seeing in case we forgot what he said. It was a very good experience and I would definitely use this business again!

Review of our tour

DC Monuments and Memorials Day Tour
Elie Y, Jul 2026
Review of our tour
Our tour with Heart of DC Tours was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Washington, DC. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised, informative, and enjoyable.We visited all of the iconic landmarks and monuments, as well as some hidden gems that we probably would have missed on our own. Every stop was given just the right amount of time, allowing us to take photos, explore, and really appreciate the history and significance of each location.What really made the experience stand out was the incredible knowledge and passion of our guide. They shared fascinating stories, historical facts, and interesting insights that brought each landmark to life. It never felt like a scripted tour—it was engaging, interactive, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.The pace was perfect, the transport was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly. We came away with a much deeper appreciation of Washington, DC, and felt like we had experienced the city in the best possible way.If you're visiting Washington, whether it's your first time or you've been before, I can't recommend Heart of DC Tours highly enough. It was excellent value for money, incredibly informative, and created memories that we'll always cherish. Thank you for giving us such a fantastic experience—we would happily do it again and will be recommending it to all our family and friends!
