Georgetown, Washington DC - My handsome husband surprised me with Saturday night tickets for the…read moreGeorgetown Ghost Tour. 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.

It was invaluable having a personal tour guide, skilled driver who knows the city and shortcuts (because traffic is real), and DC historian all in one service. Jose provides prompt service, excellent communication, very clean, and luxurious ride, and a fun & informative way of exploring DC. Even if you are a local, it's always amazing to experience DC as a tourist, or even arrive to your destination in style. Padilla DC Tours also does visits to local wineries and historic sites like Mt Vernon. Give Jose a call and you'll be glad you did! I always & consistently recommend Padilla DC Tours because of it's quality, fair prices, and it's so important to support small, local, and Latino business!

Request for the guide named Rob! He answered all our questions. That is the type of tour guide we…read moreneed around here! As a local, it's still nice to hear some facts and history about the monuments of the area. Rob was very clear, very articulate, and very friendly. We also came back from a lit brunch and he was very patient with my family. Rob was very humble and very accommodating to what we are looking for and what we wanted to hear. It is a walking tour, so he made sure we did not get left behind. All he was asking for was for a great review and he definitely will get it. Thanks Rob!

A couple stopped him at the end to take a photo with him because they knew him from his YouTube videos.

We left the tour and plan to go back later on our own when it's dark.

Since I live in northern Virginia, I have been able to take many tours of Arlington Cemetery by many companies, but this tour was completely unique. Brenda, our tour guide, did an amazing job of explaining the deep connection of Arlington Cemetery to World War I, the birth of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, why the Tomb is guarded, 24-7, General Robert Pershing, and it was all fantastic, but she also showed us the Gravesite of James Reese Europe, the African American pre-Jazz great who fought for and was injured with the Fighting 369th, nicknamed the Harlem Hellcats. Possible the most amazing story was that of fellow Fighting 369th member Henry Johnson who single handedly took on 20 German Fighters and won, saving the life of his partner who had been injured. I highly recommend this tour, even if you have already gone on tours of Arlington Cemetery. It will show you a side of our military history that most tours miss!

The tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions, which made the experience even more engaging. She also came up with some really fun games that helped everyone interact and made the tour feel very lively and memorable. I've lived in Northern Virginia for almost 30 years and have always been fascinated by Koreatown, but this tour gave me a whole new appreciation for it. The food was fantastic, and the overall experience was fun. You can really tell this is a great, well-run business--the owners clearly care about creating a high-quality and enjoyable experience for everyone. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone, whether you're local or visiting. We are already planning to do it again for a birthday celebration!

I recently moved to Washington, D.C. and wanted to learn about history and architecture, not just factoids and legends. Richard has a depth and breadth of knowledge of the city, its art, architecture and history that can't be surpassed. He is very willing to adjust the tour to fit the needs and expectations of the various members of the group. And his love of the city is unmistakeable and greatly appreciated. I look forward to being able to learn more about my new home through the eyes of Richard Hyde and Veritas Tours.

Our guide, Andrew, was witty, cool, and has crafted a great tour that is full of juicy, creepy details and moves across the neighborhood (you'll get your steps in!) A bonus, the vibrant streatery-scene in Georgetown. There are lots of places for a safe outdoor meal or drink following the tour. I'm excited to try out more of Fiat Luxe's tours in DC.

I hope I can cut through the clutter to show that Fiat Luxe Tours is the one you want. Making arrangements was super easy. Andrew at Fiat communicated with me via email and phone and kept in touch even after the initial contact. The weather on the day our tour was scheduled was going to be questionable, and Andrew kept us updated with details and advice to make sure our tour went off without a hitch. We chose to take the 3-hour walking tour of the monuments (they have many different tour options). The tour guide was super friendly, professional, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He had access to a wealth of information and could even answer questions that were probably only tangentially related to the monuments and Washington, DC. It was really impressive. Three hours felt like one because the tour guide kept us informed and entertained! Even though it was really cold on the day we toured, we had a lot of fun. The atmosphere was comfortable and familiar enough that we got to know the other tour attendees as well, which was nice. And the best part -- it was at a great price. Compared to other options and considering the quality of the tour I got, this was more than worth it. Anyone who is visiting DC or for even longtime residents who never got around to checking out their backyard, I highly recommend Fiat Luxe Tours.
