When we got to the first exhibit, she said she didn't know where the lighting was or how it would look. When we asked about the GLOW experience, she said, "Oh, I guess it was false advertising." We left the tour and plan to go back later on our own when it's dark.

I took the World War I focused tour of Arlington Cemetery and was really surprised at the…read moreuniqueness of the tour. 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!

There are probably a zillion tour options in Washington, DC, so it's really hard to tell which to…read morego with. 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.

First off, more and more moms wanted to come and it was so easy to email Ghostly Spirits and let them know we had more people coming. Our tour guide, Lindsay, was AMAZING. She was so knowledgable and really, really kind. We don't get out much and she was very patient and cool. We went to a variety of different pubs and bars and had lots of great drinks and heard some AMAZING historical stories. Ghostly Spirits is a company I've used in several different cities and it never disappoints. Next year we are going to be in Texas and will ABSOLUTELY book a private tour with Ghostly Spirits again!

We had a bit of rain and he did offer the "carriage" option (stay under a roof for the rest of the tour), but our group decided to continue on. I also appreciated the option to sit when we made it to the Capital. My only criticism would be that in certain areas where he stopped to talk, there was so much road noise, it was hard to hear.

We took a food tour for Leesburg VA in early March. It has…read morebeen 2+ months but to this day, I am still a bit sour about the tour guide that we had, Jen (she was Half-Asian). My girl friends and I signed up for this food tour to eat at food restaurants and have fun amongst each otherm the tour guide treated us like children, and acted like she was a historical teacher the whole time. We were not overly disruptive and just wanted to each other's company while having good food. We signed up for a "FOOD" tour but instead Jen instead that it was also a historical tour and made us very uncomfortable by over-lectueinf and quizzing us about historical facts about Leesburg, slavery and Civil War. At one point, between the third and fourth food tour stop, she made us take a huge detour around the town so she could over explain about histories behind slavery trading in Leesburg. At once point we got really bored and tired of being treated like children (we are all professional women over 30+ years old), and started laughing behind a bit in the street to chat. She had a full to turn to one of my friends and say 'plesee tell your friends to stop talking and pay attention to what I'm saying about these important events.' She over-shared that she leads school tours in DC during g other parts of the year and maybe she confused us with the school-aged children. But we did not enjoy our experience with her. I contemplated not sharing this awhile because I really think hard about leaving a negative review, but even two months later, her condescending attitude and the way we were treated as a group really stings us. I hope this type of tour guide can be curtailed and mapped for a "food" tour experience they advertised and we paid for instead of historical lectures. The tour guide needs to be re-educater.
