Fun and Educational - Our tour guide, Frank, was very friendly, knowledgeable and provided a great tour. We learned a lot from Frank and he was more than happy to answer questions and tailor the tour towards our specific interests. The tour van was very comfortable and Frank provided us with ice cold waters (a welcome perk during a heat wave :) )

Great guide and very accommodating - Jack was a great a guide! He was very knowledgeable and represented Wash DC in a fun wa!. He was so accommodating and kind to the kids. It was a hot day and he made sure we had cold water all along the way. Since we had already been to some of the sites, he was happy to personalize our itinerary for the day. I highly recommend Jack and this personal tour!

Insider Tips and Tricks - What a great way to see the sites without the hassle and stress of parking and directions. Louie was full of knowledge and was awesome to accommodate to the sites we were wanting to see and making adjustments as needed. And his tip for Arlington Changing of the Guards was perfection! Would highly recommend and do again!

Thank you Frank! - Frank is the reason for 5 stars! He really is a wonderful tour guide. We had a group of 7 from age 10-74. We had a great time. The only thing I would have done differently was purchased a separate tram pass for the grandparents at Arlington. There is a significant amount of walking at Arlington and it was almost too much for them. Frank made the time delightful. He was knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and a great driver. The van was newer and very clean. Thank you so much!

Great experience for a small group or family - Love the flexibility for our group. In this case it was just my father (80 years old with some mobility concerns) and me. Frank was great making sure my dad was comfortable and making sure we got the answers to questions we had. He was very clear with instructions when we would stop and give us time to explore. Highly recommended for a family to make the most of a visit in a short period of time.

Simple and Convenient! - $475 hotel pickup -a little under 4 hours tour. plus tip so not inexpensive for 1 person. However I learned a lot and would not have seen so much on my own. I got excellent directions on where to meet back at Arlington, and many other significant places. Frank was a safe & excellent driver and I got a great intro to DC history! So overall was worth it!
