This is the ONLY way to see D.C.!!! Our tour guide was Melinda (REQUEST HER IF YOU CAN.) From the moment we met outside our hotel, she felt genuine and easy to talk to. She was a history tour guide in Philadelphia years ago, but has lived in DC for 30+ years, so she was able to give us additional information based on her prior experience, making the connection of the two cities along the way. Melinda was friendly, informative and VERY knowledgeable. Our vehicle was a white Cadillac Escalade: SUPER COMFORTABE, SUPER CLEAN and easy to spot when returning from sites! We are from New Jersey: we DON'T like other people, we move VERY fast, plan ahead for efficiency, and are straight-to-the-point with everything. If you are from the north, like us, GET A PRIVATE TOUR. This tour is the jackpot! It's tailored to YOUR wants and needs. I was able to cut certain sites out in place of other attractions. The day of our tour, it rained non-stop but having a private vehicle was awesome! We saw others who had to wait for the rest of their group and rush to get back on their buses; NO THANKS! PASS! With this private tour, you can take your time where you want and skip things you really don't have interest in seeing, PLUS heaven-forbid someone in the group really annoys you; you're STUCK with that stranger all day!!! We came prepared in raincoats but our guide had an umbrella ready for us, just incase. We LOVE American history and only go on vacation once per year, without our children. This tour was worth every penny, made our trip super enjoyable and memorable!
