Derek was an amazing guide. Another couple was supposed to be with the group and ended up rescheduling, so I basically got a personal tour! Derek was very knowledgeable of the city. He named, if not all, most of the buildings we passed along the way. My favorite places were all the places that we got to stop at to enjoy. The Washington monument, Jefferson memorial, MLK memorial and, of course, the Lincoln memorial! I would definitely recommend this company and perhaps use them again in the future. Thank you!

We are local to the area and love history, spooky stories and corny jokes so for us this is a fun date :-). The tour began at the Old Stone House where we were checked in and divided into two groups of about 18 people each. Everyone in our group was from out of town except us and our amazing tour guide Sonia. She effortlessly led us from site to site while allowing time for questions and photos. She also made sure our group stayed together and safely crossed the streets. I was concerned that it would be hard to hear given the traffic and Saturday night usual cacophony that is Georgetown but that generally wasn't a problem. We didn't see any ghosts - DRAT! But we did have fun and learn some history along the way. We would recommend this tour company and this particular tour.

Sean and our tour guide were fantastic! My husband and I were running a little late because we rode scooters from our hotel and got a little lost along the way. Instead of leaving without us, they actually called to check on us and waited for us, which we really appreciated. Sean was a great driver and incredibly thoughtful. At the end of the night, he even went out of his way to take us back to our hotel and drop us off. That kind of kindness and customer service really stood out to us. Our tour guide was wonderful and shared so much interesting history and background about every site we visited. We made so many stops and got to see much more than we expected! We absolutely loved this experience and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting DC. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Their banter between each other and us tourists kept the party going and fun never stopped. Really appreciated the bottled water they had available too. We met at the Navy Memorial and from there we embarked on our journey to view numerous memorials including Iwo Jima, the Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the Capitol Building. The tour normally includes the White House and World War II Memorial, but sadly due to the fact the Great American State Fair was going on at the time, we were unable to make those stops. As an added bonus, we got the see the National Archives Museum lit up at night as well! It was a great time, but a late night, and it was difficult to find an Uber afterwards, so I recommend planning accordingly.

Matt made sure we saw everything we wanted and so much more. We could not have done this on our own. We would not hesitate to recommend Custom Tours of DC to anyone visiting Washington. Kathy

We were lucky enough to be in a smaller van while others were in large busses, so our experience was more personalized. Dwayne knocked our socks off. He crams so much knowledge into the tour, well above and beyond the actual stops. His passion for the city and knowledge of architecture and history were impressive. He also knew his way round the current blockages/construction and was able to avoid politics while discussing the current construction which takes mad skills. He thoroughly answered any random questions we threw at him and had deep knowledge of subjects like the Red Cross and Clara Barton, I've volunteered with them for years and didn't know his fun facts. Dwayne was born for this role and may be the best tour guide I've had in my life. I now question my own passions/interests. Dwayne gave great suggestions for getting the best photos and what else we can do in his city. I wish I had more days here and could do more tours with Dwayne! He is so inspiring!

If we could give it a ZERO STAR rating, we would certainly do so. Starting the night prior to our Mt. Vernon tour, Yohannes went overboard repeatedly texting/calling (from anxiety that we'd not show?). He was rude on the phone; for example, four minutes after texting him that we'd be 10 minutes late, he called. When I answered my phone, he was aggressive, "Where are you?!" No "Hello." No "This is Yahannes at DC Tours..." Just the accostive greeting. It got no better. My wife wanted to cancel before we started. We should have. Our driver and tour guide, Dani, picked us up at a downtown site, and did a fine job driving us to Mt. Vernon. He was a nice man (at least he had manners!), though never should be called a "tour guide." He knew nothing about the place that we couldn't read in all the plaques; and oddly would just repeat phrases from the plaques as we were reading them. It was weird, a bit awkward. We might as well have saved plenty of money, rented a car and taken ourselves. Oof, forget all the 5 star reviews...not sure how this outfit remains in business.

But if its a hot or muggy day, the photos of smiling passengers will not be indicative of your red/blue line experience. These buses have no A/C, and if you want to sit al-fresco and its a sunny day, you'll be just as sweaty. Think: "summertime Alabama prison bus experience" and this will meet that expectation.

The guy told us to get on the bus and stay on. It would do the red line, then the blue line. We could then do the evening tour. Okay then. Off we go. Finished the red line, and we're told to get off the bus. What? Last bus is at 4:30.. not what we were told. Not happy. We went on to the evening tour. I'd say it was pretty good. I did enjoy that parts of this tour. Didn't enjoy the "stories" so much. Would have liked more history. We got the bus the next morning and went to Arlington. When we finished we went to the stop, not such great bus timing. Their brochure said buses come every 15 minutes. After an hour of waiting we tried to contact BB to see what was going on? They do not have a phone number that works. There is an email address that stars it will get back to you in 24 hours.., what? We waiting over an hour and gave up for an uber. We did get another email telling us there are delays due to events. This is not okay we when have paid for a 24 hour pass that is not usable. All in all, our 24 hour pass was good for 3 hours. Reason for this? Maybe because only two buses run on Sunday. So unless you have the time to wait two hours for your next bus, it's not worth it! Do not use this service!
