Great private tour for first timers!

5.00Melinda was awesome. She was knowledgeable, informative and friendly. She took our family of four (2 adults, 2 tween boys) to every location we wanted to see and showed us where to go for the best photos. We didn’t have to wait for anyone or work around a group schedule. She dropped us off and picked us up at the same spots. Definitely recommend taking this private tour as your first tour to familiarize yourself with the sites and areas to see.
Great experience

5.00Melinda was great! She directed us to go to the best places to see and take pictures. We hit the major tourist spots and the views of DC were amazing. Since it started drizzling when our tour started, riding in a car to cover 10+ places was definitely a plus.
Private tours are the BEST- especially NICK

5.00We took the evening tour, after Arlington Cemetary is closed...the tour was tremendous! Nick, our guide, picked us up on time, and was knowledgeable and engaging. The personalized tour was exactly what we wanted, and was so easy to get on and off to visit sites. I'd recommend this tour over others in DC, and I have done several...this was the best driving tour of DC that I've done! Thanks again to Nick for a great tour and providing the many highlights of the DC area!
