Our private history tour of Washington, DC, offers an immersive journey through the notable historic moments that define the nation's capital. Hear tales of renowned leaders, artists, and influential figures who shaped not just the city but the entire nation.

The tour begins at the U.S. Capitol Building, where the guide recounts the city's evolution from a fledgling settlement to the powerful seat of government it is today. A walk along the National Mall offers a panoramic view of the city's iconic monuments, including the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the reflecting pool, each a silent sentinel guarding the memories of the past. Concluding at the White House, you’ll learn some interesting presidential history and the decisions made within those hallowed walls.

Extend your tour to include Georgetown’s historic homes. Cobblestone streets and classic architecture fill this historic neighborhood along the Potomac River.

Some of the most popular buildings in the city, such as the Capitol Building and the Smithsonian, do not allow outside guided tours in many areas of interest. If you would like to tour these sections, please let us know so we can arrange to begin or conclude your tour at these sites.
