Gligor is officially our new friend!!! We had such a wonderful experience with him touring Washington, DC. He was incredibly friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met him. We decided to spend about two hours of our tour time at one location, and Gligor was so patient and accommodating. He dropped us off and picked us up right on time, always choosing safe and convenient locations. He knew exactly how to get us everywhere we wanted to go and made the entire day easy and stress-free. By the end of the tour, he didn’t feel like just our tour guide, he felt like a friend! If you’re visiting DC and have the opportunity to tour with Gligor, you’re in great hands. We absolutely recommend him!★★★★★
Best way to see monuments at night
This was a great way to see a lot of sites in a few hours. Our guide was knowledgeable and accomodated our special requests. Communication with the guide was easy.

He picked us up and returned us to our hotel and waited at each stop so we did not have far to walk. My kids loved every minute. The car was extremely clean, cool and he had bottled water for us as well. I would book this again.★★★★★
Loved every minute of every place our driver took us .
Amin was great and I recommend him with my eyes closed. He left us on every attraction and picked us up at end . We felt like millionaires!!!!

Very professional and courteous drivers. We had 2 Escalade SUVs. Very clean. Being in DC felt like we were being driven around by secret service. We had family in from Texas and Kentucky. Seeing and stopping at the monuments at night is a must do for those coming to DC for first time. Favorite stops included USMC Memorial, Jefferson and Lincoln Memorials. Looking across Tidal Basin at night from Lincoln memorial is so special . And this time of year cheery blossoms are in full display, We thank you guys for a wonderful time. I would highly recommend your team for anyone traveling to DC★★★★★
Great tour!
For 10 people it was only a little more expensive than the public tours and was SO much more fun and easier, especially since they picked us up. Would recommend!
★★★★★
Great low stress, comfortable way to see the city!
Aziz was early, courteous and very professional. It was great being able to control the pace at which you see everything. The Escalade was spacious and comfortable for our tall group of six.

We were picked up at our hotel and the driver was super friendly. The limo driver took some pictures and made a personalized video using one of our cell phones of our group before and after we entered the limo. The day we toured DC it was going to be 100° F. Rather than ride a bus, bike, or other means, we took the limo which was air conditioned and the driver dropped us next to each site in the tour and pick us up either in the same spot as the drop off or close by as we left each site. In the limo there was free water bottle and ice with cups, which was refreshing on a hot day. We could choose the music we wanted to listen to through a cell phone the limo driver provided. There were some times the music was a bit loud, but either through the cell phone or a control in the car, the volume can be adjusted. It was also fun to watch people outside the limo as they were taking pictures of our vehicle (the hummer limo) just was much as some of the sites. If you are planning a tour of DC, I would recommend taking the personalized limo tour for comfort and you can choose how long you staying at each site and where to go. This is the way to go! We had 7 people in the limo and had lots of extra room for more people.★★★★★

Our flight arrived early but our driver was there anyway, waited patiently while we toured the sites on foot when needed and also added a couple of visits when we had some extra time.

Ameen was the best tour guide and picked us up promptly at the agreed time & place in a limo!
He was very communicative & flexible and made this experience worth every penny! Thank you so much! ❤️

This tour was outstanding! Our driver Amin was a gem! He picked us up from the lobby of our hotel and right away took pictures and got us started. He was able give us the history of the city, stopped at all major monuments and took pictures for us at all stops. It was raining very hard but he had umbrellas ready, let us know the walk time to certain up close views to make sure we were prepared (all were short walks less than 5 mins and nothing hard to get to just not able to drive the limo all the way up to some which was totally understandable) but also made stops if needed (bathroom and quick food pick ups). We were out for a full four hours which left time to just drive around and see the city and enjoy the limo. I would highly recommend this tour even if you’ve been to DC and seen the sites in the past as it was super fun and the limo was very comfortable (we had 7 total people with plenty of room)! Thank you for a GREAT experience!★★★★★
Best idea yet!!!! This was so fun for a family!!

The tour driver was courteous and so knowledgeable of the city. This is definitely the way with kids! We had our 2 year old with us and having the ability to pull up and get out to see the sights then get back in was priceless!!!! We will book again when we come back!!★★★★★
Called us promptly at the start time we arranged.
Pick us up curbside from hotel. Dropped us at every must see spot. The absolute best way to see DC. Great company providing excellent service. Prompt and reliable service. Excellent time!

This was an amazing experience.
The city comes alive in a different way at night and the limo tour was a very comfortable and safe way to experience the monuments. Our driver was very knowledgeable of the city and even dropped us off at our hotels. Would highly recommend this to anyone!

Limo service in The Wharf: the full guide
The Wharf is one of the easiest DC hotel clusters for private chauffeured pickup. Smart Limo Rental picks up from The Wharf hotels, Southwest Waterfront apartments, L’Enfant Plaza, nearby museums, restaurants, and event venues. DCA is usually about 10 minutes away in light traffic, and the National Mall is just north of the waterfront.
Guests staying here often book a private DC tour, a dinner-and-concert night, wedding guest transportation, or hourly chauffeur service for a full evening along the waterfront. Your chauffeur meets at the hotel entrance or valet lane and keeps the group together from the first stop to the last.
Wharf pickup questions, answered
Can Smart Limo pick us up from the InterContinental The Wharf? Yes. The InterContinental at 801 Wharf St SW is a regular pickup point for private tours, hourly chauffeur bookings, dinner reservations, concerts, and event transportation.
Can you pick up from the Pendry or Hyatt House at The Wharf? Yes. Both hotels are served from the waterfront hotel cluster. The chauffeur meets at the hotel entrance or valet lane.
How long is DCA from The Wharf? DCA is usually about 10 minutes from The Wharf in light traffic. The 14th Street Bridge and Maine Avenue can add time during rush hour or major events.
Can an airport pickup end at a Wharf hotel? Yes. Airport pickup can be part of an hourly chauffeur booking or private tour, then end at your Wharf hotel, restaurant, or event venue.
Where we pick up on the waterfront
The main hotel pickup points are InterContinental Washington D.C. - The Wharf (801 Wharf St SW), Pendry Washington DC - The Wharf (655 Water St SW), Hyatt House Washington DC / The Wharf (725 Wharf St SW), Hilton Washington DC National Mall The Wharf (480 L’Enfant Plaza SW), Salamander Washington DC (1330 Maryland Ave SW), citizenM Washington DC Capitol (550 School St SW), Hyatt Place Washington DC/National Mall (400 E St SW), and Holiday Inn Washington Capitol - Natl Mall (550 C St SW).
Across South Capitol Street in the ballpark district, Thompson Washington D.C. (221 Tingey St SE) at Navy Yard is served from the same waterfront dispatch. We also serve apartments, Airbnb stays, offices, restaurants, and private event addresses around Maine Avenue SW, Water Street SW, L’Enfant Plaza, and the Navy Yard riverfront. Hotel details last updated July 2026.
Between the water and the Mall
The Wharf sits between the water, the National Mall, and the 14th Street Bridge. That gives it fast access to DCA, the monuments, Capitol Hill, Penn Quarter, and Arlington. Visitors can start a daytime monument tour from the hotel, return for dinner on the waterfront, then use the same chauffeur for an evening event at The Anthem or Arena Stage.
Traffic on Maine Avenue can tighten before concerts and dinner peaks. For larger groups, the chauffeur may stage at the hotel motor court or a nearby legal pickup point rather than stopping in an active lane. Dispatch confirms the right pickup detail for the property and time.
Airport times from The Wharf
| Airport | Typical drive | Note |
|---|---|---|
| DCA (Reagan National) | 10 to 12 min | Straight over the 14th Street Bridge |
| IAD (Dulles) | 40 min | I-395 to I-66 west |
| BWI (Baltimore/Washington) | 55 min | I-295 to the BW Parkway |
Planning estimates, not promises; event nights on Maine Avenue change the math, and dispatch plans around them.
Private tours from The Wharf
The standard private DC tour works well from The Wharf. The chauffeur can begin near the Jefferson Memorial and Tidal Basin, continue through the National Mall and war memorials, then loop toward the White House or Capitol depending on the route. Tours start from $440 on a 4-hour minimum in the Mercedes-Benz S-Class executive sedan.
For groups, the Mercedes Sprinter, mini bus, coach bus, stretch limousine, and white Hummer limousine keep everyone together without splitting into separate cars.
Airbnb and waterfront address pickup
The Wharf and Southwest Waterfront have many apartment and furnished-rental pickups. Send the exact building address, entrance note, and phone number for the lead passenger. The chauffeur arrives at the closest confirmed pickup point and contacts you when the vehicle is in position.
This works for families staying near The Wharf, groups sharing a waterfront rental, and wedding guests moving between hotel blocks and venues.

The Wharf limo questions
Can you pick up from the InterContinental, Pendry or Hyatt House at The Wharf?
Yes. The InterContinental on Wharf Street, the Pendry, the Hyatt House, the Salamander and the L'Enfant Plaza hotels are regular pickups for private tours, hourly bookings, dinner reservations, concerts at The Anthem and event transportation. The chauffeur meets you at the hotel's motor court.
How much is limo service at The Wharf?
Hourly chauffeur service starts at $380 for 3 hours in the Executive Sedan and $420 in the Executive SUV, then $110 and $120 an hour. A private monuments tour from a Wharf hotel is $440 for 4 hours, with the National Mall just north of the waterfront. One flat quote, no surge.
How long from The Wharf to DCA?
Usually about 10 minutes in light traffic across the 14th Street Bridge, one of the shortest airport runs in the city. The pickup runs inside an hourly booking from $380 that also covers the hotel or the first stop of the day; the flight is tracked and the chauffeur is curbside or inside the terminal on request.
Is pickup in The Wharf included, or is there an extra charge?
Pickup and drop-off are included anywhere within about 20 miles of downtown DC (ZIP 20005), roughly a 30-minute drive, and The Wharf is minutes from the Tidal Basin, so pickup costs you no tour time. The drive counts inside your booked hours, so a 4-hour tour with 30 minutes each way leaves about 3 hours in the city; guests further out often book 5 hours. Beyond the 20-mile circle, call dispatch at (202) 609-9811 and we quote one flat rate that includes the travel.
Is there a Wharf shuttle, or do we need a private car?
For a night at The Anthem, Arena Stage or the waterfront restaurants, a private chauffeured car does what a shared ride cannot: it waits through the show at a fixed price and is at the door when the crowd spills out, with no surge. The 3-hour Executive Sedan block at $380 covers the evening.
Can an airport pickup end at a Wharf hotel?
Yes. The chauffeur meets you at DCA, IAD or BWI, loads the luggage, runs a first look at the monuments or a lunch stop if you like, and ends at your Wharf hotel, apartment or venue, all inside an hourly or tour booking.
