5.00Our family of 5 had a great experience with Cliff. He was personable, knowledgeable and we throughly enjoyed our time on his tour. I like the ability to tailor the tour to what we wanted. I also did very much appreciate that his vehicle was clean. Wish I could give him a 10!!
Highly recommend!

5.00Mark was our guide and he was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and very flexible with our itinerary. He gave us wonderful tips/advice about when to go for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and where to exit. We traveled as a couple with our two kids - ages 20 and 17. My husband has mobility issues and this was a great way to see so much in a short time with Mark’s superb commentary. We never would have made it to so many sites without him. Sprinter Van was very comfy with good visibility. Highly recommend!

5.00Michelle was great help with a booking mishap. But Helga was also the best tour guide we could ever have in DC. Did the hop on hop off before but this is worth paying extra. We are a party of 9 with elderly and young kids- our best day in DC!

5.00A great tour with our great guide Melinda. We are traveling with our teenage grandson and Melinda gave all of us a very informative and helpful history. She pointed out the important sights to see in D.C. and gave us plenty of time at each of the scheduled stops. She was kind enough to ask before we started what our interests were and gave those interests priority. The Cadillac SUV was comfortable and roomy. Melinda is a first class guide.
Best part of our visit!!

Private Tour 10/10
Brittany R,Mar 13, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Our family of 6 booked a private van tour for our trip to DC, really wanted to have someone who knew the history and how to properly navigate the city. Expectations were exceeded. I cannot begin to say how much we loved our tour guide Cliff, not only was he knowledgeable but really tailored the experience to our family. It was also a bonus to be able to choose what we saw, and how long we stayed as the weather was 10/10, the worst. It was sleeting, and windy, and we still had a great time. 10/10 recommend this type of tour if you need something more accommodating for children or people with disabilities.
Flexible and relaxing
