Great tour from Chris. Sprinter van was clean and easy on/off. Chris is knowledgeable, flexible, and easygoing. We got rained on, but Chris had umbrellas for everyone. Thanks for helping us find my cousin’s name at the LEO monument.

Our tour guide Christopher, was very informative and well-versed in the history of our nation. We will request him again!
What a wonderful fun day we had with Christopher on our private day tour. Starting from the minute he picked us up he started with the history of the building we passed and stories while on the way to our first stop the Capitol Building it was so great knowing a lot of the background before we went end thanks to Christopher just made it that much better. After that we went to Ford Theater. Then time for lunch he picked out a great place for lunch, had our reservations and we went right in. Went to Lincoln Memorial then did Arlington and saw Changing of the Guards wow what an experience. We were with my mother in law and it was very hot for her and Christopher made sure she was taken care of the entire time even got her on the last seat on the tram and he ran the whole way back and went and got the van to pick us up. He had no problem making any changes if needed. We got to see so much more than we ever expected and learned more in a super fun way. This is the only way to see this beautiful city is with a Tour from Perfect Private Tours 888-886-8732
Great tour Christopher. You are very knowledgeable about the monuments and buildings. Thank you for a wonderful day. 😊
This was a perfect way to be able to see the monuments with my parents, who are not big walkers. Being in a private car with a driver meant we could pull right up to the locations and squeeze in so many more than we'd have been able to on our own. And Christopher's encyclopedic knowledge coupled with his funny stories were engaging and really added to the experience. He was very professional, safe and knew exactly what he was doing. He even came and found us at one memorial to give us umbrellas when it started to sprinkle. We learned so much and had a fun time doing it. Thank you Christopher!
Christopher was so fun and knowledgeable! This is a great tour when time is limited. We were able to see all the big sights and enjoyed lunch on the docks of the Potomac.
Christopher was very knowledgeable and was very considerate of our time. He did not rush us thru the tour and took time to answer questions and was very accommodating. Greta tour!!
Christopher is fantastic! He has a love of history and it showed the entire day. He was able to share interesting facts about each of the monuments. It was incredibly helpful that he drove us around, knew where to park and even knew the great places to catch the best views. When planning our DC trip, I knew that we needed to figure out the best way to see these things and Christopher delivered. Yes, we will remember seeing the historical stops but Christopher made this day above and beyond. (We even booked his Arlington/Mount Vernon tour for later during our trip.) You will be so glad you booked a trip with Christopher! He took us to every major stop in the mall, gave us time to spend at each one, and did it all in five hours. When asked, he gave us recommendations on museums and dropped us off at one instead of returning us to where we were staying. My family and I will remember Christopher!
Christopher picked me up from the hotel, very professional, everything was expalined to me, i enjoyed it very much.
Whether you have limited time in DC or not, I highly recommend. My family and I took this tour our first day/first visit to DC. Christopher was knowledgeable and interesting in his history lessons. We covered a lot of ground and saw all of the “must sees”. He gave us the option to get up close and personal versus a drive by for many of the monuments. Once we were finished, we felt like we could see the rest of DC at our leisure and not feel like we missed anything. Thank you so much, Christopher for making our vacation a memorable one!
We had a wonderful time and Christopher knew his stuff. He made it fun and entertaining. He was very nice and showed respect to all of us, included my son. He listened and answered questions. He was a very enjoyable time.
Chris was an excellent guide! Our day was very smooth and we were able to see so much! The stories and knowledge he shared was amazing. Highly recommend Christopher.
I cannot recommend Christopher highly enough. He was beyond knowledgeable, entertaining, and personable. His vast and rich knowledge of every important aspect within and outside the city was incredible. Thank you for such a wonderful tour.
Christopher was extremely knowledgeable about American history & the monuments we visited. He certainly captured our attention! We’ve been to DC many times & are no strangers to America’s past, but he still managed to tell us stories we hadn’t heard. He also knew just where to park, getting us very close to the sites & saving a huge amount of time as well as extra walking (which our joints appreciated). We went at a comfortable pace, never feeling rushed & always being able to ask any questions we wanted. In short, we loved our day & highly recommend him!
Christopher was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. We visited several places we could not have possibly done on our own. There were 4 of us and fit comfortably in the SUV. Highly recommend the tour!
If you are going to visit DC, THIS IS YOUR TOUR! Christopher is a fine young Entrenpenure. He is VERY knowledgeable, informative, funny, charismatic, curious and respectful. He picked us up at our hotel and dropped us back off. Lunch was included. He knows tons about the history of the city and lots of cool tidbits of info you won't find in any books. PLEASE support small, support local, support American!
Excellent, excellent tour !! Christopher was incredible. Myself and family are very astute historians; but, Chris blew us away with his depth of knowledge and passion for DC. Rolling right up to the front of every sight and having one on one tour guide was absolutely the best part of our trip.
Chris was fabulous! We highly recommend. He’s so informative, and funny. You will love it! He picked us up at 9, and spent the day showing us DC. GREAT JOB
he paid for our lunch and he’s very knowledgeable. he explained everything very well. made everything easy to understand.
Christopher came to pick us up and we were on our way to a day of fun and learning. From the moment he arrived, he started teaching us interesting details about the city and all the monuments. My 7 year old son learned so much he wowed our friends and family with all the tid bits he learned. Christopher is a wealth of knowledge and he was able to narrate about each stop with ease. He also answered all our questions for us. I loved that it was a private tour. We felt safe and he was able to accommodate the day for our interests. If you want to REALLY experience DC, Christopher is your go to. This tour was well worth the money. Thank you so much!!
Outstanding tour with a great guide. I highly recommend this company for anyone that has just a day to see Washington DC. Well worth the money.
Chris & Lorenzo were TOP NOTCH!!!! We absolutely loved our trip! Finishing up my photo-book from May 2019, made me realize I had not left a review. Well, now I have... If you are in D.C. & looking for someone with an abundance of knowledge & professionalism, Chris is your guy!! They were early to pick us up from the hotel, they brought us to get breakfast and then gave us knowledge I will never forget! He and Lorenzo were funny and easy to be around & they even took in our crazy jokes! It was truly the most memorable trip I have ever been on! I am currently looking at their website to book another tour with them with the rest of my family!
What a brilliant day we had touring DC with Christiopher, our knowledgeable, efficient and fun tour guide! Christopher, a History major from the University of Maryland took us everywhere we wanted to go, and more. His detailed knowledge of American History perfectly punctuated our stops at the White House, the Capitol Building, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Jefferson, Lincoln, and Luther King Jnr Memorials as well as the Washington Monument and Arlington Cemetery. Christopher fed us incredibly well on the day, providing us with all inclusive stops for refreshment: a bakery for bagels and coffee for breakfast and lunch fuel at a well-supplied food court. On top of these already generous and thoughtful inclusions, Christopher happily made extra stops throughout the day, taking us back to our hotel via the Georgetown district for interests sake and accommodating our needs for restrooms and coffee where needed. This was a day to remember, made especially so by Christopher’s personal connections at each stop on our tour which enabled him to take us to the front of every queue, eradicating pointless waiting from our day altogether. Finally, Christopher’s kind-hearted people skills and willingness to engage our children’s questions in age-appropriate ways made it a terrific day for them, not just us, their parents. A truly wonderful experience of DC and a highlight of our entire 5 week tour of the USA.
We did a day trip from NYC by train - Christopher picked us up at Union Station and made everything smooth and easy. He is an engaging and knowledgeable guide who made sure we saw all the highlights of DC in the short time we had. Thanks Christopher !
5 stars is not enough! Christopher and Lorenzo gave us the VIP treatment. They know the ins and outs of where to go and what to see. Christopher’s knowledge of the history and stories of all the sights is top notch. I highly recommend Perfect Private Tours!
This tour was well worth doing ... we saw so many things and learned so much history... Christopher was a wealth of knowledge! ... in short if you looking for a comprehensive tour then stop looking and book this!!
Christopher was right on time picking us up & had breakfast arranged at a Panera near our hotel. He had the day planned out for us so we were able to tour the Capitol & Library of Congress, all the monuments / memorials and take pics at the White House. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. He was so patient with my older mom, not making her feel rushed. I would totally recommend Christopher & his company for a great introductory tour of DC!!!!
Chitopher and Lorenzo were two great guys. They were very polite and informative. Christopher answered all the questions we asked him and even told terrific jokes. This made our trip to Washinton DC a great experience. Breakfast and lunch were very good as well. We recommend them highly. Great job Christopher and Lorenzo!!
Today we had the pleasure of meeting Christopher our tour guide and Lorenzo our driver. They were prompt in picking us up and Christopher’s knowledge of every place we visited was staggering. The breakfast was great and different for us as we don’t have bagels back home. We couldn’t fault any aspect of the tour or service. Thanks for a great day.
Had a great day with Christopher and Lorenzo. We are a party of four and had booked Christopher’s Company, Perfect Private Tours and Transportation through Viator. We did the “Perfect Private Day Tour with Breakfast and Lunch” and it was a perfect day. Christopher is a phenomenal guide, he provided so much history of the Monuments, Presidents and American History. Time flew by as we were entranced in Christopher’s explanations of American History. Lorenzo always dropped us close by to all of the Monuments making it easy to get around. We have no hesitation in recommending Christopher as a professional and knowledgeable guide. Thanks Christopher for a great day, we learnt so much from you. Gavin, Chris, Warren and Lea.
Christoper and our driver were fantastic! Our group consisted of kids, 9-12, grandparents, and parents and each and everyone of us had a wonderful time! Such a great time that we booked them again for the Mt. Vernon/Arlington tour! Christopher is very knowledgeable and entertaining! He kept all of us engaged throughout the day with many interesting facts and humor! He was very personable and organized! We all highly recommend this tour! We are so glad we did it!
My husband brought me to DC last week for my birthday to see the Cherry Blossom Festival. Being my first time to DC and with so much to see this sounded like the ideal tour to experience it all... with Chris being our guide and Lorenzo driving, this day was worth every dollar!! We were able to visit many sites and monuments with Chris walking us through each one while sharing his knowledge.. as we exited Lorenzo arrived to pick us up , dashing to the next site...timing was perfect at each one, we never felt rushed. We highly recommend booking with these guys!!
Chris and Lorenzo were great. Very knowledgeable about every memorial, statue and oddity in DC. Got us in and out of sites quickly and efficiently and knew every elevator location going. Best capital tour ever with Marcus. Worth every penny. Don’t skimp, do it right the first time.
We loved the tour. Chris was incredibly knowledgeable and the perfect host. We had a great time. He was very accommodating of the groups needs. His insightful knowledge of the history of Washington DC made the trip so very rewarding.
This is one of the best tours we have ever taken on a vacation. Chris is very informative and has a great sense of humor. We just had a blast with him! He is very professional and knows all of the ins and outs of the city! I would most definitely recommend him to anyone that wants to learn about this great city!
We booked this tour through Viator for 4 adults and 2 kids...an all day 8 hour tour of Washington DC. Chris called me the day prior to confirm the pick up address. The morning of our tour he showed up on time then drove us to a nice little spot to eat our breakfast. He was very knowledgeable as we visited all the various DC attractions and also concerned and accommodating for my handicapped Mom. He took us to an awesome deli spot as we took a break and had a great lunch as a halfway mark to our tour day. Book with Chris at Perfect Private Tours and you wont be disappointed! :-)
Our time in DC was limited. We booked the Perfect Private Day Tour to get in as much as possible. From the moment that Chris arrived at our hotel things shot straight up hill. Chris was very personable, funny, hospitable and very very knowledgeable all things DC and America History. Want to spend an amazing day in DC? Book this trip with Chris. You will NOT be disappointed.
We (two adults and two teenagers) had a great day with Chris. We saw every site listed, and Chris gave us in depth commentary at each. He was also very enjoyable company. A thoroughly recommended tour!
Chris was spectacular!!! Top!!! The service is spectacular and the amount paid extremely fair. We were able to see the main points of the city in one day accompanied by Chris’ concise and interesting explanations. I recommend 1000%!!!
