Evening view of the memorials and the historical sites was spectacular, especially all the cherry blossoms fully blooming :) After the tour, our hotel was only a block away so we planned to just walk back to the hotel, but the guide offered to dropped us off at the hotel we stayed. It was very sweet of him when he didn't need to do so. Overall, we had a blast and highly recommend this tour :)

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.

The day was a complete bust. Should have hired an uber or taxi to get around.

We did not expect that service. We did book him for 4 hours and if you have time and his schedule is open I would recommend doing 6 or 8 hours with him. The car was extremely comfortable and especially easy to get in and out of. He had great knowledge of the area and the historic sites we visited. This is truly one of the nicest people who enjoys his job of tour guide/photographer. He brought cold water bottles. We never felt rushed by him. I highly recommend Ehsan!

You do plan to have ghosts on your ghost tour? Hello! Hello! Haha just a little Jurassic park humor…read morefor everyone. But seriously, you don't want to see ghosts on a ghost tour. It would be very frightening. Part of you would be relieved to know that you can visit your loved ones from the beyond, but you would be unable to defend yourself against their ethereal beings. Your hands would go right through them! They would then be a liberty to commit hijinx! Luckily there were no ghosts on this ghost tour, except the memories of times passed. And what memories they were! A vibrant city full of lives long snuffed out by Father Time and misfortune. They laughed, they loved, they toured! As we are now so once were they! Huzzah!

We were fortunate to have company co-owner Bo as our guide, He took us on an enthusiastic, informative, efficient four-hour tour of the highlights of the American History, Natural History, and Air & Space museum along with a stop at the Smithsonian Sculpture Garden. Bo's personable nature, passionate knowledge of all things Smithsonian plus Washington DC overall made the experience truly exceptional. The customer service provided by DC Insider Tours during my rescheduling throughout the pandemic was also incredible . We also appreciated the detailed day-of-your instructions, including a texted photo of the tour guide we were looking for. I highly recommend DC Insider Tours for any tour in the Washington DC area, you will NOT be disappointed!

All in all Bo was full of energy and great for kids and we learned so much. We can't wait to return to DC and take another tour.

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!

She gave us a detailed tour of the White House and several monuments. When you book, check out the option of pick up and drop off at your hotel. Zanna rolled up on time and dropped us off after zipping around town. She chatted with both of my kids (8 and 10) for 2 hours. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. To the owners of this company, this young lady deserves a raise or a fat bonus! Thank you for the memorable tour Zanna, core memories were definitely made and Rhys says hi! :)

While he was nice, he didn't have a lot to add off the track I pretty sure he had memorized. I actually feel like I heard most about which monuments had the best restrooms than much of anything else (we never asked about bathroom situations). Would I book this again, no. Here is what I learned, you still walk a fair amount into these monuments from where they drop you in the golf cart vs. the people who are on the bikes and scooters. If you're really looking for the least amount of walking and able to operate those that would save you time and money. Overall, there was no value for the price tag for us and the guide kind of ruined the experience.

Nathan, our tour guide was so friendly, personable and most important knowledgeable without feeling like we were in a classroom being lectured. He gave us plenty of time at all the sites. He even dropped us off at a Metro station after the tour and told us how to get to where we wanted to go, Postal Museum. Dropped us at Gallery Place and took the red line two stops to Union Station and the museum was right next door! Just wanted to make sure Nathan was acknowledged for his premiere service and I wanted to let you know how much my sister and I enjoyed the tour and set up our Saturday for a great day. We were on the first tour of the day to see where everything was and then spent the rest of the day going back to those places we wanted to see more of. And there were only 4 of us on the tour! THAT has never happened to me. A microphone for the tour guide and speaker wouuld be helpful if you are sitting further back in the golf cart. But overall. . . a 10 out of 10!
