This was an excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and catered the tour to our interests. This is the best way to see the city in one day. Our guide knew the exact route to take and where to park. The tour lasted right around 3 hours and 45 minutes. It was not rushed at all.

Tunde was great. Van was very comfortable. Totally flexible on where we went and in what order. Great with our grandkids. My wife left her cane in the van and Tunde brought it back to our hotel on his own time that evening.
Created a great custom tour, adapted as the day went on to avoid the crowds. Very knowledgeable and engaging.
We were lucky to book the tour in the less then 24 h before the event. It was nice to drive around in the luxury van. However it was not much of the tour. It was pointing to the buildings with 2-3 sentences or less for the description. No historical references. No interesting fact to tell. No story of any kind. Also, assumption of the driver that everybody in the group share his political views was unprofessional at best. I had no interest to know what he think about former president!!
My team had an amazing time! Our professional driver and tour guide "Tunde" was exceptional! He went above and beyond our expectation. Viator agent "Mark John" was amazing and helped me picked the right tour for my team. Tunde and Mark John are very friendly and professional. Thank you for making our experience one of a kind! They were both easy to work with and will go with the flow with our needs. Thank you very much and we appreciate you guys and your team!
Great way to see the monuments! We would never have covered this much in a morning by ourselves. The tour guide was interesting, knowledgeable and friendly.
Great experience with a knowledgeable and personable driver. He took us where we asked him to go and was patient when we chose to spend more ( or less) time at certain places.
Our driver was the best his name is Bernard he was very passionate about the DC area and new lots of cool things highly recommend him
Transport was clean and well presented. Our driver was pleasant and punctual, provided water, yet at times was difficult to understand. I would not recommend this as a private tour of city highlights as advertised if you are expecting an informed tour guide to support your highlights stopover at each of the major sites.. It is more of a convenient yet very expensive transportation from one site to another. Minimal knowledge was shared that one would not know already as a visiting tourist and most can be walked and linked. Uber/taxi/e scooter/bike and a well planned route of city’s highlights could be done at a fraction of the cost.
Terrible. They tried to only give us 3 hours….had to call the manager to let us have entire 4 hours. Half the monuments he would not bring us to. Knowledgeable driver, but not the most polite…..
Tunde was excellent and very knowledgeable. He made sure we got to see the sights and made it a great day
We were dropped off at Arlington and the guide/van left us there. When we called to be picked up, we were waiting for more than an hour and ended up taking the train back to the city.
Tunde was an excellent guide who made the trip most informative and enjoyable for our five grandchildren and the adults as well. A warm and welcoming presence and a great sense of humor - and the Mercedes Sprinter was clean and comfortable. He helped us make the most of our DC tour.
Victor was absolutely great. We had two couple with 2 babies under 2 years old. He was very patient and we had plenty of room in the van. Definitely recommend!!!
Cheerful and knowledgeable guide, navigating the city and explicitly explaining relevance of sites visited.
We were led to believe admittance to the White House for 20 minutes was included as listed on the itinerary Starting point so are disappointed and this was the reason we chose this particular tour (albeit we thought it was unusual) but definitely misleading phrasing on behalf of the tour company
Tundey was an amazing driver and tour guide! We were very comfortable and had plenty of room in the vehicle. He was accommodating and extremely knowledgeable! I would recommend this private tour to anyone. What a way to see Washington D.C.!
Our driver *Moulah was so nice and very accommodating!! He showed us all the sites we wanted to see and the vehicle was very comfortable
Fifty Year Anniversary Celebration was a success! My husband and I wanted to celebrate fifty years of marriage with a trip to DC. It was a most enjoyable experience. One of highlights of our trip was the four hour private tour. Our tour guide was super! He treated us like royalty. Both my husband and I have slight mobility issues, and our guide was patient and kind. We crammed as much into our time as we possibly could and had a grand time doing it. Thank you for making this milestone in our lives a true celebration.
Bernard was very accommodating and friendly. We covered quite a lot of ground during the time, and he hit all the top items we wanted to see, even with a few extra bonuses thrown in. I highly recommend this tour if you’re looking to see all the highlights without having to do your own walking/driving and exploring.
It was the perfect choice and they were very accommodating, since it was too cold to walk to all the places
We had a private van tour with our awesome guide, Tunde. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and guided us to all the sights of DC! We all had a ball despite the crazy wind and rain!
Guide very knowledgeable. Van was clean and comfortable. Saw all major sites in Washington D.C. Great tour.
Our guide was fabulous! He shared so much information and always was there ready to pick us up and help us get back in the van. Gracious person! Thank you!!
Guide was knowledgeable; explained well; had patience and added humor. Only issue was, booking said: 4 hours tour but guide was instructed for 3 hours tour. All went really well otherwise.
Tunde was awesome. He is very very knowledgeable of DC and made our trip fun and memorable. We would recommend this tour to anyone that wants a personal one on one tour in a comfortable air conditioned van.
We had a great time exploring the DC monuments with Tunde. He was able to park right next to each spot so it was easy to get in and out. He was friendly and fun with our kids. He dropped us off at the end at a nice spot to eat near our hotel. I would recommend him.
This tour was fantastic. Our guide Nicole was a knowledgeable and engaging narrator. She knows her history and her city. It was a miserably hot and humid day, but she kept us in air conditioned comfort. Loved it!
Our tour driver, Nicole, our African American guide, Howard graduate, former educator, was excellent, informative, knowledgeable and took extraordinary time at each monument- Capitol, White House, Jefferson, Lincoln, Supreme Court, Washington, Signers of Declaration of Independence, William Slave Pen, -we travelled all way from San Leandro CA celebrating twin grandsons 20 th birthday me and their 15 year old brother), and the tour made our DC experience perfect!!! Thank you Ms. Nicole!!!
Driver (Alberto) was on time to pick us up at the hotel and he hit the key visit points in DC provided us interesting information on the way. He also provided us background info on sites we passed but did not stop to visit on this trip. Great family time with grandparents and grandkids. He kept us all interested along the way. Highly recommend this trip and we would do it again.
Mr Tunde did a fabulous job showing me and my teen all around all the DC must see spots. Highly recommend him!
Great driver. She was on time. Very knowledgeable. Pleasant experience. Enjoyable day with our granddaughters.
Nicole was excellent! This was the absolute perfect tour for a very hot summer day in DC! I would highly recommend her and this tour to anyone. For our family with small kids and grandma along, it was the best!
I would not recommend this tour. Our guide dropped us off after three hours, telling us it was a three hour tour, when it is clearly noted a four hour tour. The tour guide had no detail or info on any of the sites, just pointed through the window of various buildings. Such a waste of time and money.
The tour was booked for 4 hours but the company only gave us 3 hours. It was very misleading and in fine print it read “3 to 4 hours. “
Outstanding with pick up at hotel and drop off at hotel. Tour guide was truly outstanding and very knowledgeable. This tour could not have been improved upon!
We paid for a family of 5 and mentioned that our daughter had a broken foot. First, they showed up late in a pickup truck. We refused to do a 3 hour tour with 3 across the front of a pickup truck. Then they found a solution and hour later and sent an Uber driver. Literally an Uber driver. The driver, Bernard, drove us around DC, but couldn’t answer a single question, nor tell us about any of the monuments or facts about Washington or the history. He never left the car and I had to wiki everything to teach my kids about the sights. It was a huge scam. I would not trust this tour company. Very shady.
Our private tour with Fisseha Genemo was everything we had hoped for. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Our trip was great. Our driver was kind, knowledgeable and suggested many great places to see. He allowed us time to take pictures, get lunch and use the restroom. It was suppose to rain and we were handicapped. He was great.
Our guide was awesome. Local guide with a lot of knowledge on the area, very accommodating to our group of three, really friendly. Couldn’t have been better, we all loved it.
Fessish sorry for the misspelling of his name was wonderful. We will Definitely be using him and the service again
Our tour guide was beyond phenomenal!!! His tour vastly surpassed our expectations. He displayed a remarkable amount of knowledge of all things DC and US history, and even personalizes the tour to what you’re interested in. All of our questions and curiosities were fully answered, and you feel like you’ve lived in DC for years by the time your tour has ended. Eliminating the crowds for a private stroll of the capital is definitely worth it. Unbelievable deal for the price they offer. An 11/10 tour of Washington DC!
Excellent comms and collected and returned to union station in a very comfortable vehicle. Saw most of the big sights in Washington and would recommend this company
The Guide chose highlights according to our preference, and had a wonderful knowledge of all we saw. This is the most I have gotten out of viewing the Memorials -- more than prior visits to DC. He even took pictures and will send them to use of our group and parts of our groups.
Although viator keeps advertising and writing about the 4 hour private tour, not to mention the high price they charge, the first thing our tour guide announced was that this is a 3 hour tour. Nothing could persuade her that the tour is sold as 4 hour tour. This is a deception, and we definitely feel ripped off.
we purchssed a 4 hour private tour for a very high price. The first thing tje tour guide said was that this is a 3 hour tour. She was not moving from that declaration and indeed did not give us the 4 hour tour we paid for
We were very impressed with our tour guide. This was an excellent knowledgeable highlught tour of DC
Tunde was great and got us to all the places we wanted to see. If you have certain things you want to focus on he would do that first. It was a great 4 hour experience being able to get off and get on to see the sites. He also gave us insight as how to take the best pictures and where!! It did rain and hail on us but thankfully Tunde was prepared with umbrellas. Would highly recommend. Our 17 and 10 year olds loved it.
Very interesting. And a funny guy presenting Mandy details. Many thanks. 4 hours Gas been enough to See the Most Importanz places in the american Capital
We came to Washington DC when the federal government was shut down. We were hesitant to book since many of the museums and National Parks were closed. However, it made for a perfect tour for us. Our tour guide Nicole worked as history teacher and volunteers at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art. She was so full of knowledge, she really gave us a better experience. We saw all of the monuments, saw the White House and the Capital building. She was able to answer of our questions and my 11-year old daughter said that the tour was the highlight of our trip. I recommend this tour to anyone who has limited time but wants to see and learn as much as possible. 5 Stars!!
