Great experience!

TraceyG1600, Dec 2025

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommended! He stopped at all the major landmarks while explaining the history of each location then let us out to explore.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for this. We’re really happy to hear you had a great experience and that your guide made it both informative and enjoyable. Stopping at the major landmarks and giving you time to explore is something we really care about, so it’s great to know that stood out. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again.

Steve is a great tour guide!

Steve was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to shift on the fly when his usual itinerary needed to change due to closure of roads near the White House. Well worth it!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi- Well that sounds like DC! Road closures are a way of life... And Steve is the master of changing on the fly - he absolutely loves to introduce visitors to his home town where every block contains a really good political or historic backstory. Many thanks for your 5 Star Review and for choosing See DC Today for your Private tour!

Awesome, comfy, knowledgeable and friendly tour of DC.

It was very relaxing with just our family of 6. Dustin was very very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the nice comfy seats, air conditioning, and cold water on the Van. My dad is 83yo Vietnam Veteran, Dustin helped us with his walker at our stops and let us spend time at the VIetnam wall with our dad. I would highly recommend this tour.

The Dream Team

Our tour guide was Steve and he was amazing! He had so much interesting information about all the monuments in addition to the historical info. Our driver was Edric and he was a boss with his street navigation. The interactions between them as they guided us through the town was very entertaining.I would recommend their tour to anyone looking to see DC.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

HI- Steve and Edrick actually are team- they work together everyday and both love to introduce their guests to their hometown. This past weekend street navigation and getting everyone close to the monuments has been a real challenge but that problem is solved with a Private Tour where you set your own itinerary and pick up point! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves. Many thanks for the high recommendation and for selecting See DC Today.
