This is the BEST way to see DC, especially if it’s your first visit. Booking was easy and convenient, and I received helpful text message reminders leading up to our tour. Our guide, Cassie, texted the night before to confirm pick up time and location, and then texted that morning to confirm ETA.
Cassie was SO friendly, flexible, and easy going; she knew so many interesting things about the city and you could tell she genuinely loved sharing her historical knowledge. We couldn’t have asked for more. Throughout the day, she gave us multiple options for our next stops, gave suggestions, and even wrote up a quick summary of museums and sites, including open/close times for the rest of our trip.
Cassie had mentioned George Washington University and since my children are starting to tour colleges, Cassie was more than willing to stop at the campus so we could check out the bookstore and walk around. While this was not on everyone’s list of things to do in DC, it was great to have that flexibility to choose what/where we wanted to go.
One of the best advantages of the private car tour was the convenience! Cassie would drop us off close to a monument, we would go look a round, take pictures, and then we’d jump back into a cool, air conditioned car when we were done. This alone was worth the extra money, especially when we visited during an August heat wave.
I highly recommend this tour and Cassie. We will definitely book again on another DC trip.
