USA Guided Tours: what do users think?

Rebekah Diaz: Did the night tour with Mr Map! It was great to stop at so many places and take photos. I do wish that the tour guide would have come off the bus to tell us about the different landmarks instead of staying on the bus. It was beautiful to see all the monuments lit up—different than the daytime sights. We chose the closed climate controlled instead of open top because it was rather cold at night (in late April!)! Would recommend.

Suzanne: We took the dusk to dark, open top bus tour, and it was well worth it! The small group allowed for a much more personalized experience. It was obvious to us that our guide, Nick, truly enjoys his job, and that adds to the experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor, all of which added up to a very comfortable, enjoyable tour! He made it feel like we had a long time friend showing us the many sites. Definitely recommend this tour!

Annie Ellis: Everything we hoped for and more! It was so wonderful to connect with Adam to help plan 3 days of 3-4 hour morning tours to maximize our time in DC with my elderly parents in the August heat. We were able to comfortably fit in everything we needed to see and enjoyed visiting the sites at our own pace after being dropped off at the closest spots to make things easier for my parents. We learned so much and had amazing conversations with our extremely knowledgeable and insightful tour guides Bob and Rebecca. Our driver was fantastic and attentive. My folks really enjoyed the VIP treatment. Thank you all for the first-rate experience and beautiful memories!

Andy Nichols: We were finally able to have our Washington DC trip after COVID canceled our trip in March 2020. Adam Plescia was great to work with as we put our trip on hold until March 2021. We were two families looking to get a great tour with all the history and we were not disappointed! Our DC tour was AMAZING! Bob was our tour guide and he was awesome! COVID-19 restrictions didn’t keep us from seeing and learning so much about our nation’s capitol! I would recommend Custom Tours of DC to any family!

J D: The hop on hop off night tour was amazing! Dustin was knowledgeable and was funny too! No way we would have seen all these sights on our own. Would highly recommend!

Nick Myers: Amazing tour for anyone who wants a personal and fun look at the monuments of DC. Our driver Steve was professional all around and got us across the city safely, and our guide, Kory, was really fun and obviously passionate about the area’s history. I was not looking for a deeply sanitized tour with guides who sound like they’re reading off of plaques at the monuments, and fortunately that’s not what I got. I recommend this bus tour for those who like to ask deeper questions about the Capitol’s history and get immediate answers, those who want something beyond the typical tourist experience, and those who want to be truly guided through DC and its intricacies rather than simply taken to photo-ops. Excellent experience all around!

Signature Tours Of DC: what do users think?

Michael Olson: Driver and tour guide Tyrone were awesome! Docked a few stars because company is advertising a service on TripAdvisor that they aren’t providing, pick-up at hotel. We confirmed that our hotel was included on the list on the website so that was correct. The ticket we printed off for our tour listed hotel pickup on it. When I called to confirm this prior to the tour I was told we had to find our own way to the tour departure point. This required a change in our plan, expense, and travel that was not anticipated given what we purchased. You either are or you aren’t doing it because of Covid. This makes no sense to me as we are all sitting in a packed bus for 3 hours without mask requirement so what difference does a pickup make? Feels like an excuse to not do the work to fulfill what is advertised and paid for. The other star dock was for poorly maintained brakes on the bus. Couldn’t hear the tour guide many times because of the high pitched screeching of brakes every few minutes.

jen zappulla: I did the all day tour and Vernon and Chris were amazing! Vernon was so knowledgeable about the monuments and had side stories that added to the richness of what we were seeing. Chris maneuvered that bus like a boss, finding alternate routes due to closures and construction. I would highly recommend!!

DC Insider Tours: what do users think?

Det Ansinn: Bo has amazing historical knowledge of DC and is really entertaining. They use electric bicycles made by Pedego — well maintained, zippy, and the brakes give you confidence. Added bonus? on a hot DC summer day, the breeze on an electric bike keeps you cool.

Troy Rippere: We did the DC After Hours electric bike tour and this was by far the absolutely best way to see all of the major sites at night. In this 2 hour tour, we were able to visit the White House, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, MLK Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Supreme Court, and the Capitol with enough time at each spot for pictures. The electric bikes were also a blast to ride (up to 20-25 mph) and are actually fully electric, instead of just pedal-assist like other tours. On our tour, there were just 6 guests plus the tour guide. The small group was intimate and made it really easy to hear everything the tour guide said. Our particular guide was Matt and he was super friendly and seemed really knowledgeable about the different sites. All in all I had a great time and look forward to trying their other tours on subsequent trips to DC.

Tiber Creek Private Tours: what do users think?

Lynne Shepard: My husband and I spent a week in Washington, DC. We are both super busy with our jobs and didn’t have a whole lot of time for making plans. I contacted Chris with Tiber Creek Private Tours. He arranged three tours for us. The first was a three hour tour of DC at night. Our driver was Amaury and he navigated his way around DC like a pro! He was kind and so polite. A real asset to Tiber Creek. Our personal tour guide was Felix. As an architect, he was able to point out so many interesting details on the buildings and monuments that we would have otherwise missed. But more than that, we felt like we were riding around town with a friend. He really did a great job of starting our week out (and one year wedding anniversary) on a good note. Thanks Felix! A few days later we had the pleasure of meeting Jane, our tour guide for Arlington and Mt Vernon. I learned so much about our history that I had never known. She amazed me with her ability to find particular graves at Arlington that we had an interest in! That place was huge! But she knew it well. She was thoughtful and kind and it was a pleasure to spend two days with her!! Our driver those two days was Joseph. He, too, was a pleasure and we felt completely safe with him as he navigated DC. I can’t stop without commending Chris on all of the help he gave us. He shared ideas for our “on our own days” and helped me keep focused so that we actually saw every single museum and monument on our bucket list. He called daily to check on us. I would recommend Timber Creek Private tours to anyone visiting Washington, DC. I couldn’t have been more pleased with their service!!

Frisky Warfare: Chris and the staff of Tiber Creek are amazing. I don’t even know what to say besides the experience, service, and attention to detail of all their staff is second to none. Have never been treated better. We scheduled last minute, had numerous demands upon their schedule and were still given the best service anyone could imagine. They responded to emails quickly, followed up with phone calls, and made sure we enjoyed ourselves the entire time. Our kids were able to see and do things that would have been impossible to do without a proper guide and so much was accomplished in such a short amount of time. I understand that reviews are a dime a dozen, but I cant thank everyone enough for the time we had in DC.

Capitol Express Tours, Washington DC Golf Cart Tours: what do users think?

Julie Rinker: This was an outstanding experience! Adam, the tour guide, shared his in-depth knowledge of the city and was very personable! He made sure we were safe throughout the entire evening tour, and even let our mixed family group decide on which monuments were most interesting for our stops. I took the tour with my mom, and Adam was able to accommodate her walker and limited mobility, directing us to elevators when necessary. I lived in DC one summer and never learned all that Adam had to share. Even though my mom and I have had several trips to DC before tonight, this was one night we won’t soon forget!

Jessica Coello: Adam was amazing! We scheduled a night tour ahead of time online and the weather changed drastically days before. Adam came prepared with blankets, hats and hot water bottles! We stayed warm(ish) and were still able to get out to each of the Monuments 😀 John reached out to us prior to our tour and suggested checking out the Willard hotel, so happy they shared this tip. The hotel lobby is beautiful and so full of history! Capitol express tours is a must for your DC tour!!

Private Tours of Washington, inc.: what do users think?

Kassidy Anderson: Exquisite Tour :) I visited D.C. last month with my mom and sister. Our trip with "Private Tours of Washington" was definitely the highlight of our time there! Bill was so knowledgable and kind, and we each felt that we left our beautiful capital city as much more informed and knowledgable people. Mr. Bill made many inquiries on our interests, and he made sure that these interests were expanded upon. He even recommended other stops along our road-trip from Mississippi to D.C., with stops in North Carolina and Pennsylvania. I have traveled to many areas of the world and taken numerous private tours; however, this tour is one of my favorite experiences. I truly feel that the service and quality are unparalleled, and I intend to recommend this company to any of my friends traveling to the area.

Olga Xiroyannis: I used to live in Washington and was back a few weeks go for work. Since it’s been awhile, I decided I might need professional guidance to get reacquainted with some of my favorite places. I called Private Tours of Washington, eventually talking with Bill, the owner, about what I wanted to see. He arranged a three-hour guided tour of Georgetown, DuPont Circle and some other parts of town I’ve always liked. As I hoped, the tour was a real trip down Memory Lane. A lot has changed, but happy to see some things never do, like Kramerbooks still right where I remembered it. What a fantastic nostalgia-filled afternoon. Could not have imagined anything better!

Great experience, lots of fun and great opportunities for great photos! Will do each time I visit DC!

Emily Thompson: This was an absolutely fantastic experience! Could not recommend it enough. Not only was it a great way to see a large portion of the sites, far faster than walking it all, our guide was wonderful and his commentary gave interesting context and added backstory to the sites we saw. We did the night tour and it was perfect -- cooler temperatures in the evening, sunset and later, the nightime uplighting on the memorials, was amazing! We had plenty of time at each memorial to explore and take pictures. Overall we had blast on the Segways (it was our first time riding them, but it was so easy and so fun!) We will definitely be looking to do Segway tours in other cities we visit!

J. S.: It was our first time riding on segways. Our guide was very good in teaching us how to safely ride them. She also was very fun to communicate with. Overall the tour was very informative and interesting. In three hours we were able to see a lot of historical buildings and monuments

stevie garcia: My family happened to be in DC at the same time as our friends, so we booked a tour in June 2021. Eric was so knowledgeable. It was humid out and he had cold water for us. We did fun trivia during the drive. He also took photos of us and gave us pointers on the best angles for the photos we took ourselves. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Troy Schmidt: We started our visit to Washington DC on the highest note possible. Eric and Grand Atlas tours made our visit to all the monuments fun and memorable. He was a master of quizzes and could not be stumped in a number of areas. The driver provided cold water and snacks along the way. Definitely worth the price for our party of 11.

I recommend this tour and will use them again when I visit again.

Nonpartisan Pedicab: what do users think?

Anupurba Roy: I used this service for a tour of the Tidal Basin with my 69 year old arthritic mother who struggles to walk long distances. Our guide Reed was not only very knowledgeable about DC and the monuments on the National Mall, but he was extremely considerate about helping my mother in and out of the cab and helping us take photos. Going around by pedicab is the perfect way to see the monuments relatively up close for people with accessibility issues. It is of course expensive, but in my opinion worth it for your loved ones with mobility issues. Highly recommend.

Steve Miscavish: Our evening tour with Robert was the highlight of a great trip to DC with our little ones. We booked a (same day) tour to see the monuments at night. The tour far exceeded our expectations and ended up being our favorite part of the entire trip. Our kids had so much fun that they wanted to book another tour with Robert, but we ran out of time. We really enjoyed hearing the stories and the history behind the monuments and landmarks that we saw. Robert was super friendly, knowledgeable and patient, even when our kids were asking silly questions. We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend the tour with Robert.

Gray Line: what do users think?

Michael Mladenka: I bought the 2 day grand tour for my family of 4 visiting Washington DC. The very first level me in the description of the itinerary was “Guided Capitol Tour”. With this being the case I didn’t bother to contact my Representative or Senator to sign up for one. It wasn’t until the end of my tour when I inquired why we hadn’t done this that I was informed that this had been removed from the trip, no explanation was given. The lady behind the desk was very apologetic and told us that this has been a mistake on the website for some time and it hasn’t been corrected yet. It must have been going on for a long time because the printed itinerary that was at the desk didn’t have it on there at all. Very disappointing, caused my family to miss out on one of the most important sites in DC. VERY DISAPPOINTED!! 💩💩💩

Wendy Mahon: I took several tours with Gray Line around D.C., and also to the Presidents homes. The tours were very good. The bus drivers were very good about explaining the history about what we were going to be seeing. Also they were good about giving us clear cut directions of what to do, and where to meet up after the tours. Customer service was really good about telling us where to wait for the buses after checking in.

A M: Enjoyed the tour with my 17 yearold niece who was visiting from England. The captain was kind and knowledgeable. The amphibian is really cool. Great experience!
