  • Private — your group only, at your own pace
  • A table reserved for lunch on request
  • Hotel pickup and drop-off included

About this experience

Your guide is a historian or an architect who has lived in Washington for years. The day is yours: they will show you what they would show a friend, skip the parts that are only worth a photograph, and find you a table for lunch somewhere locals eat. Because it is private, the pace is whatever suits you, and you can change the plan as the day goes on.

Highly recommend

A highlight of the trip. I have already recommended it to two friends who are visiting next month. The children loved it, which is the real test.

A real highlight

Everything was well organised. The meeting point was easy to find and we started exactly on time. Went with my partner and we both enjoyed it.

Good, with caveats

Pleasant enough. The guide was knowledgeable but the group was larger than advertised. Travelled on my own and felt completely comfortable.

Excellent

Great value for what you get. The small group size made a real difference. Squeezed it in around a work trip and it was worth the time.
