This was so worth it! We had 1 full day in Washington to see everything and this was definitely the way to do it! I had been to Washington before but my husband and 2 boys had not so I booked this in hopes they could see as much as possible. And it did not disappoint! Mark was our guide and he was great and very informative. We learned quite a bit from him! On our 4 hour trip we were able to visit these locations and have time at each one. The White House, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial,. Lincoln Memorial, Korean & Vietnam Memorial. Arlington National Cemetery, we got to watch the changing of the guard which was my boys favorite of everything they saw. Martin Luther King Memorial and then ended at The Capitol. After the tour with Mark and having lunch at the Capital we still had time to walk down the mall and visit 3 different Smithsonian museums. No way you can do all this in 1 day without having this transportation and it’s personalized to what you want. Highly recommend this!!

The private tour was convenient and well worth the price. It was nice to be dropped off by each monument and having time to enjoy and take pics.

We took a fabulous trip with Cliff around the sights of DC. He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and friendly and tailored our tour to our interests. We covered a lot of ground during 4 hours. It would have taken so much longer to self guide this. I would absolutely recommend this as a way of seeing the key locations in DC and I would not hesitate to take this tour when we return with our ur kids. Thanks Cliff for.your warmth and hospitality.
