    I found out about this tour through Groupon. BEFORE I purchased the Groupon, I called to make sure he had availability for the tour/time I wanted to fit into my vacation schedule (you should ALWAYS call the merchant prior to purchasing a Groupon for an event/booking based good). Johannes answered my call and told me that he wasn't handling the Groupon offer anymore, but would give me a good deal on the tour, which he did. It was $35/person for the DC at Night Tour which was 4 hours long (a very low price compared to other tours in DC). Anyway, after our call he told me to email him to confirm with my details and where I was staying so he could pick me up and I was all set! He also called me the morning of the tour to confirm our pickup location and time. He was right on time for my 6:30 tour - we picked up a few other guests from local spots and started the tour at 7PM. The tour bus was spacious and comfortable with large windows and he was a safe driver. He used a bluetooth intercom to guide us around the monuments and memorials, and gave us fun facts and tidbits along the way. We stopped at all the spots for a 10-15 minute photo op. He joined us at the stops and offered to take photos and gave us additional details about what we were seeing. Otherwise you could just do your own thing and get back to the bus when you were done. There was an older gentleman in a wheelchair on our tour and Johannes had no problem assisting him and pushing him around the stops. He was willing to answer any questions, asked if there was anything in particular we wanted to see (we wanted to see Georgetown so he took us through there) and had a lot of fun doing the tour. It didn't feel like some canned docent leading you around with a script they've read a billion times. I would most certainly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the DC area! The ONLY thing I wish he had was an easier way to book the tours (like an online booking system so I could see the dates/time available). A solid 5 stars from me!

    "Can you show me the cherry trees?" I asked Dr. Yohannes Zeleke at the start of our tour into the heart of Washington, D.C. My plane was leaving back to Los Angeles that afternoon; I had this final morning after my conference to see the town. Dr. Zeleke, archeologist, dug into the past of Washington D.C. as he escorted me first to all the city's monuments I hadn't seen and then finally to the glorious cherry trees that line the Tidal Basin. A breeze stirred the trees; the pink petals swirled around us like snow. Dr. Zeleke sketched out United States history in a frame that I had never seen before. His commentary was fascinating! I recommend his personalized tours not only for seeing the sights but for understanding the story of our country in a new way. His tours are history revealed!

    To say that I enjoyed my tour is an understatement. I'm so glad that the other tours were booked and this tour was found for us. This tour is a secret that shouldn't be kept. Who else can say that they received a tour from a professor, world traveler, archeologist all in one. I am so please to have met such a knowledgeable person and to have had the best tour experience I have ever had. Please book this tour. You will not be disappointed and will learn more then you ever expected. Thanks a lot

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.

She also was very knowledgeable and respectful of current tenants of the buildings and made sure that the group was also respectful for those living in the area. Love the tour especially with it ending at the Exorcist stairway.

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!
