Christopher was the absolute perfect host to show us around the monuments! He was extremely knowledgeable and funny to boot. I also appreciated his flexibility since our group had some late arrivals due to airport delays and he was very accommodating and understanding. Would book again when I come back with family!

We really loved this tour! Christopher was flexible, knowledgeable, and fun to learn from! Seeing the monuments at night was a unique twist to the typical downtown tour scene.
We had an absolutely fantastic time on our nighttime monuments tour! Our guide was incredible — personable, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing the city he calls home. Having lived in DC for 10 years myself, I wasn't sure how much I would learn, but I walked away with new facts, stories, and perspectives that even I hadn't heard before! For the members of our group visiting DC for the very first time, it was an especially wonderful introduction to the city. Our guide kept everyone engaged and entertained, bringing the history and landmarks to life with his local knowledge, humor, and personal insights. We also ran into some unexpected travel hiccups, and he was incredibly accommodating and flexible in working with our schedule. That extra thoughtfulness really meant a lot to our group. Seeing the monuments illuminated at night was already a memorable experience, but having such an awesome guide made it even better. I truly cannot recommend this tour enough. Whether it's your first visit to DC or you're coming back to a city you know and love, this is a must-do!
Wonderful opportunity to go to many different places! Christopher was a great tour guide and very flexible with the amount of time we wanted to spend at each stop.
Brittany was very knowledgeable of our entire tour. She was also very friendly and offered many interesting facts about DC
Awesome tour! I wasn’t expecting it to be so amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and professional. It was hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on with my kids. Thank you, Christopher for your kindness and service.
Nick was AMAZING! Absolutely the best way to visit the monuments with the best guide we’ve had anywhere. His charisma was exceeded only by his knowledge of DC.
Our driver was great and the overall experience was greeat
Amazing Tour with the great tour guide Nick who made the evening amazing and made history fun and informative. His expertise and sense of humor made the magical evening fly by and his generous spirit made us all feel special. Wonderful guide, wonderful tour wonderful evening.
Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very competent. She made sure that we safely got through the monuments at night.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and customized a private tour of the various monuments in the evening!
We almost had a bad experience…. A same day cancellation from the this company just about wrecked our trip! We waited until the last evening before we were to leave to take this night time tour!!!! PANIC! But we got another message saying all was going to happen and we were escorted by Christopher, a young 37 yo who knew his monuments well! We ended up being his only passengers which turned out great for us. I think he was a manager for this company and had to step up himself to drive us around. We enjoyed every minute of this tour! So grateful to Christopher for figuring it out for us. These monuments are truly a must see and really best at night. We were there 7-8-26… record breaking heat spell. We had the Thomas Jefferson monument all to ourselves. I’d recommend PPTT but maybe make sure it’s not the last thing you do, just in case a cancellation pops up!
This tour was the highlight of our DC trip. Brittany was an exceptional guide- so knowledgeable, friendly and a great sense of humor. The discussion was a really enjoyable mix of historical and current events. For what it’s worth, she kept it completely apolitical, which is hard to come by in this climate and it was such a breath of fresh air. The Sprinter van was extremely comfortable and being picked up and dropped off at our lodging was a nice convenience. I just cannot recommend this tour, and specifically our guide Brittany, enough!
Pretty relaxed...Chris was a phenomenal guide...get on get off when you want to, probably one of the better ones Ive been on. Very accommodating
This is the second year in a row that we've done this specific tour, and both were phenomenal! Knowledgeable, entertaining, and friendly guides, clean vehicles, and an evening visiting major landmarks in our nation's capital! It was so much fun!
Definitely worth it. Very convenient pickup, nice transportation and very knowledgeable guide. Would recommend this tour!
I knew we wanted to do something special and a night tour of the monuments seemed like a cool thing to do- we had a mix of locals and visitors in our small group. I booked the tour because I read the great reviews and they were correct- it was the best way to enjoy the night tour in a sea of people. Christopher answered the phone the two times I called him, was accommodating and friendly- but mostly he knows how to get around, what we should see and the stories behind the monuments and the people who built and defended our country. We had a great evening, never felt rushed and enjoyed Christopher as our guide.
Highly recommend this company! We took two tours — the 2-hour Express Tour and the Nighttime Monuments Tour — and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. Christopher and Brittany were excellent guides who shared detailed and interesting information about all the sights and landmarks.
Excellent tour. Comfortable, private tour that allowed us to see the monuments at our own pace with the best guide. Our guide, Chris, had great knowledge of not only the monuments but also many of the other buildings in Washington DC. He provided great historical information and we were able to ask questions in our private tour vehicle as we traveled between the monuments. We saw many of those large bus tours on our night out and I was really happy we chose the private tour. Pickup and dropoff was right at our hotel. We loved every minute of this tour.
Christopher was an excellent tour guide! He promptly picked up our group at our Airbnb, then gave a fun and knowledgeable tour around the city. Everyone had a great time and learned a lot. Oh, and he is a great driver too!
Amazing experience with Christopher visiting the sites in the National Mall. He was very knowledgeable and shared great insite in the history of each monument and location we visited. A must do tour with Christopher!
Chris was great! I live in DC but booked this experience for some friends that were visting me. I learned a lot!
Very informative and a great experience.
Having a private tour enabled us to decide how much time we wanted to spend at each of the monuments . We were not on a schedule.
I would first like to Thank you and Chris (our guide). Chris did an amazing job. My dad is an 81 year old navy vet and Chris got him to the places he really wanted to see that we had just spent the last 36 trying to figure out how to get him close enough to be able to walk to even one of these monuments. Chris made it happen. I would highly recommend this Company. The history we learned along the way was an excellent experience. My dad was able to walk to 3 before he was wore out but every single stop was not far from the monument. My fiancé and I got him the rest of the pictures. Thank you for what you do!
Christopher was a wonderful guide, was able to navigate the traffic and people so we were able to see everything on our list! Great tour!
Took the night time monuments tour with Christopher. He was helpful, jovial, extremely knowledgable and funny to boot! He was a fount of knowledge, dates and lore about the area and the monuments. Highly enjoyable tour, 10/10 no notes.
We had a great tour with Christopher for our corporate event. He got us to all the key sites with stops for pictures while providing context on the sites. The tour picked us up & dropped us off at our hotel so very convenient. And, Christopher was a great host - knowledgeable, fun, energetic and all around great dude. He was able to weave in stories and context with MLK, Lincoln, George Washington, Ulysses Grant, Robert E Lee & more. Very highly recommend.
Wow! Christopher was an amazing guide, and turned this into the trip of a lifetime. I’ve been to DC a number of times, but never had the chance to hit all the amazing memorials at night. The views were incredible, and Christopher’s commentary was insightful and entertaining for our whole family. We felt like celebrities as he would drop us feet away from all the sites and gave us as much or as little time as we wanted at each to experience them. When someone tells me they are visiting DC this will my top recommendation not to miss.
Christopher was EXCELLENT! Polite, kind, informative. Well worth the money, we’re really glad we picked this service. We weren’t sure who we should pick, but this turned out to be a home run.
Excellent service. Christopher was very knowledgeable about the area and a wealth of information about history. He was courteous and prompt.
Nick was a great tour guide. He provided us with the history of each monument and included interesting tidbits. We enjoyed our time with him. He definitely goes out of his way to provide an awesome experience.
Christopher was amazing. So knowledgeable and engaging. He kept our 9 and 11 year olds interested. You should definitely take this wonderful tour.
This tour was the perfect experience for our little family. Christopher picked us up promptly at our hotel and ensured that we saw everything on our list since we had very limited time in The District. He even gave us restaurant recommendations that were on point! Great experience. Highly recommend!!!
Tour was the best tour I have ever been on. Tour guide was kept the group entertained with his knowledge and stories the entire time. Would definitely repeat.
Christopher was our tour guide and he did an awesome job sharing his knowledge of the area and monuments while also keeping it fun.
Christopher did a wonderful job on our night time tour. He is a wealth of knowledge about DC history. We had a large group with kids. Christopher kept the kids entertained as well as the adults. I highly recommend!
The guide's vehicle had poor visibility from the back seat. We had to crane our heads to see anything of height. The front seat passenger head rest was the size of a bed pillow, and shifting over to the center to see out the front windshield was useless because the glass was filthy. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, but his bad breath necessitated us having to roll down our windows. We felt sorta rushed through the tour. We paid for a 3 hour tour but, in fact, were back at our hotel in 2. It was not even close to being worth what we paid for this private tour.
Awesome tour, Christopher was great. We had some history buffs and they learned a lot of new things!
We had a great time! Brittany was an amazing guide!! Very kind and knowledgeable! Everyone had from 10-75 and all ages in between!
Our tour guide and driver Brittany was very kind and informative. Our office went as a team to tour the monuments and make some memories. The monuments are so beautiful at night, not very crowded and the city felt very safe.
We had a wonderful time! Pickup and drop-off were smooth and right on schedule. The monuments looked stunning at night, and Britney was incredibly knowledgeable—she shared so much interesting information about each site.
Fantastic afternoon! My uncle recommended a private tour. Never really considered. For the price was very worth it. Picked us up from our hotel. Told us amazing facts and stories about the places and people. Would do again in a heartbeat!
The tour with Brittany was fantastic - extremely knowledgeable and kept us entertained! She navigated us through the monuments efficiently and gave us tips on things to look for at the monuments.
We took the private night monument tour with Brittany. She was an excellent guide! She knows the history very well and was a very engaging guide. She answered all our questions and gave us tips about other things to see and books to read. It was really one of our top 3 activities that we did on our trip.
We brought our daughter to DC (her first time) and wanted to get her to the monuments. I found this tour and am so glad I did! Our guide was fantastic and knowledgeable about all things DC. We had time to explore at our leisure and learned a lot. 10/10 from our family.
It was recommended to me that we take an evening tour. To see the monuments light up at night was amazing. We did a private tour and our guide Christopher was great.
100 stars would not be enough to rate this event! Christopher, our guide from Perfect Private Tours and Transportation was wonderful. He was so vibrant, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time. The van was comfortable, clean, and safe. Christopher had so many tidbits of DC history and facts - he has lived here his whole life so it was great to hear from a local. It was a perfect event and I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about the Nation's Capital. Thank you, Christopher! We will definitely be back!
Christopher was amazing! Lots of energy and knew the city like the back of his hand. Anything my family pointed out he was able to tell us about.
Christopher was our tour guide and he made the experience amazing. From all of his knowledge and interesting history he shared to helping us make it be the experience we wanted. I’d highly recommend.
