What our guests say
5-star rated on Tripadvisor & Viator
More than 240 travelers have reviewed our private Washington DC limo tours across Tripadvisor and Viator, and the same praise repeats: the chauffeur-guide who knows every monument, the on-time hotel pickup, and a day that felt effortless. Read our Tripadvisor reviews and our Viator reviews for yourself.
Guests who took the Capitol Hill Tour by Limousine most often mention the monuments and memorials and the on-time hotel pickup. Amin is the chauffeur guests name for knowing the city and being easy to be with all day. The same details repeat: guests saying they would book again and a chauffeur-guide who knows the history. Each review below links to the Tripadvisor or Viator listing it was posted on.

Good value for a large group
For 10 people (4 adult and 6 kids/teens), this was a great alternative to the other night tours. We even got to see some of the less known memorials at the Pentagon! Very friendly and helpful driver.

DC tour
The driver was super knowledgeable about the different monuments and allowed us to experience them in whatever order we wanted stopping at different ones for us to take pictures and explore along the route. Extremely worth it for my family and I.

Awesome experience from the booking to the tour. Amin was super from the first communication until we returned. It was very easy and we got to see all of the sights with him dealing with traffic. 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.★★★★★
Great tour of all the monuments.
Our tour guide, Amin, was excellent! Dropped us off at the most optimal places to see the sites.

We had a great experience and would highly recommend. We booked a four hour hop on, hop off excursion and opted to pay extra for a tour guide in addition to the driver. Our group was 18 family members in town for college graduation, ranging in age from 8 to 80. We had some ideas of the stops we wanted, and Teri our guide worked with us to incorporate them as well as other highlights she recommended. It worked perfectly. Family members could "choose their gear" with respect to walking, and the more ambitious were able to do several things in the same stop (eg Korean War memorial along with Lincoln Memorial and Vietnam). Thanks to Inam our driver and Teri our guide for a great experience!★★★★★
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★★★★★
Family Fun in Limo
Smart Limo was easy to work with, confirmed a few times before the scheduled date and arrived right on time. The limo was clean and stocked with water. We had some flexibility in choosing what monuments we wanted to see and drop off and pick up was easy. I would recommend this limo service!
★★★★★
This was a tour at night with our three teenage children.
Amin was amazing he really took care of us. It was cold, and we really felt like we got to see all the monuments with his advice. I would totally recommend it to anybody with families.

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!!

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!

Smart Limo accommodated our requests to put some decor and goody bags in the limo before surprising our daughter. Thanks, Smart Limo for an unforgettable birthday experience!★★★★★
We had already spent the previous day on a tour to see the main highlights of DC, so we were exhausted.

Our driver was AMAZING! He was very professional, knowledgeable and flexible to our needs, and an absolute pro at navigating the crazy DC streets! He took us on a tour of the off the beaten path sights! Embassy Row, which lead us to an amazing church (I do not remember the name) and to the beautiful 9/11 Pentagon Memorial, to name a few. I loved the flexibility we had to jump off at some off the beaten path location to explore or just cruise by while he told us about the site. I would absolutely recommend this personalized tour to anyone.★★★★★

Our driver was wonderful and had some helpful tips for us and always got us front row service to the customized tour that we requested. The A/C was not working in the limo, so that was the only down side. I would bring info on the monuments - as this is not a guided tour, but a very comfortable trip to see the sites in D.C. We had 9 people in the limo and had maxed out the space. I would recommend for parties of 6-7 or less.★★★★★

Excellent tour experience with excellent guide who took into account all our wants, needs, and schedule I took a private limo tour of DC with my parents, husband, and son with Amin as our driver/guide and it was a wonderful, memorable experience. Amin was right on time, at our doorstep, for our departure and helped us settle into the limo (to include pointing out the best, most accessible seats in the vehicle for my elderly parents who have mobility issues, adjusting the AC to keep us cool in the summer’s heat, and showing us the car’s extra bottles of water). He reviewed the itinerary with me upfront, making sure to prioritize getting us to key DC landmarks (given that we’d have an hour of commute time to the city and back, thus leaving a two-hour window for our tour). Whenever we made a stop, Amin was able to tell us key facts about the landmark and gave us time to explore it. My husband, son, and I would always hop out and take a look, but my parents stayed in the limo and Amin kept them company and would even drive around a bit with just them to show them things! He also customized the itinerary to us perfectly - he made sure to include the 9/11, Vietnam, and WW2 Memorials, which were requests from my husband and me, and he made sure that my son, who is 12, got a good look at the Jefferson Memorial and time at the Lincoln Memorial (both of which he really wanted to see). Plus, I knew we’d all need a bio break mid-tour, and Amin knew just where to go for that! He really did such an amazing job with our particular wants, needs, and schedule. Finally, after a really amazing two hours in the city, Amin drove us all home and dropped us off right at our doorstep. He offered a hand to help me out, as he did each time, and said our goodbyes. Truly, we could not have had a better time or a better guide! Thank you Amin and company!!★★★★★

Evening monuments tour for 6 was a great way to celebrate a milestone birthday! Even though some of us had lived in the DC area, it was so fun to be be a tourist and see the monuments in a new way--beautifully lit up. Our driver was friendly and professional. He got us so close to the monuments that we just walked a few steps to snap the best photos. The World War I and Eisenhower memorials were new (to me!). Highly recommend for a celebration or even those who don't want to spend all day walking.★★★★★

We took the 4 hour limo tour through DC. It was my husband’s son and his wife’s first time in DC, so we wanted to get as much in as possible without all the parking and walking.

We took the 4 hour limo tour through DC. It was my husband’s son and his wife’s first time in DC, so we wanted to get as much in as possible without all the parking and walking. Amir suggested a different place to pick us up than what we had chosen (Union station) due to traffic. Unfortunately our truck didn’t fit in several of the garages in downtown DC, so be aware of what you are driving for parking purposes. Amir is VERY professional. He really knows his way around the city! He showed us things that even my husband and I had not seen after multiple trips to the city. The only reason for 4 stars (I wish I could give 4 1/2) was that it was a day in the high 80’s and the AC in the limo was not working well, so when we got in and out and in and out, I was never able to cool back down and ended up feeling not so good. That and the fact that the “waters and soda provided” were just tiny waters that were warm (like was warm as tap water on the warm side), I was pretty uncomfortable. I finally found a vendor and paid 5$ for some ice water, and sat in the shad while my family went to one of the monuments. I was better after that. Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend this company. I thought they were very thoughtful, easy to book, timely and professional★★★★★
Great for Multigenerational groups
Wonderful option for a multigenerational group! You get to see all the important sights, without all the extra walking. We hit all the major points of interest, could customize when we went to fit in between other activities, and had a wonderful driver! Would recommend to anyone, particularly if you have young children…

We hit all the major points of interest, could customize when we went to fit in between other activities, and had a wonderful driver! Would recommend to anyone, particularly if you have young children or grandparents along for the ride! We went in the afternoon as the sun was setting, fewer crowds and a really pretty view of the monuments and memorials.★★★★★
Riding around with our family.
Seeing all the beautiful memorials lit up at night. We really enjoyed seeing the Washington Memorial reflected in the reflection pond. The city being decorated for Christmas. It was also beautiful. And our limo driver was so kind and courteous, even finding a very nice restroom for us to use along the way

Capitol Hill Tour by Limousine: the full guide
This is a chauffeured tour of the Capitol Hill district, not the National Mall monuments circuit. The route stays east of the Mall and covers the buildings where Congress and the federal courts actually work: the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, the Senate and House office buildings, the Botanic Garden, and a couple of neighborhood stops most visitors never reach. The chauffeur handles parking and the one-way streets while you spend the 4 hours walking the grounds, not circling for a spot. It is a private, chauffeur-guided tour planned and run by an expert who knows the district: just ask and we hold longer at the Library of Congress, skip a stop, or reorder the run on the day. We can also tailor the whole route to you.
If you want the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and the war memorials, that is a separate route. See the Welcome to DC half-day tour or the DC Monuments Tour, or browse every option on the DC tour packages hub.
The route, stop by stop
The order below is the usual loop. We adjust it on the day for street closures, votes in session, and how long your group lingers at each building. Some stops are walk-ups where you get out and explore. Others are narrated drive-bys, because vehicles cannot legally stop or park there.
U.S. Capitol (walk-up, East and West fronts)
The Capitol sits on Jenkins Hill at the eastern end of the Mall. Its cast-iron dome was finished during the Civil War on Lincoln’s order, a deliberate signal that the Union would carry on. You get out at the East Front, the formal ceremonial side, then the West Front and West Lawn that face the Mall, where presidents are inaugurated. Ground-level photo stops at both fronts are included. The Capitol Reflecting Pool sits just below the West Front and mirrors the dome on a still morning.
Going inside needs a free, timed pass through the Capitol Visitor Center, and the House or Senate galleries need a pass from your representative’s office, booked weeks ahead. Tell us at booking if you have one and we build the timing around it.
Library of Congress, Thomas Jefferson Building (walk-up)
A block from the Capitol on First Street SE, the Jefferson Building is the oldest of the three Library of Congress buildings and one of the most ornate public interiors in the country. The Great Hall, the mosaic floors, and the Main Reading Room overlook are open to visitors at no charge with a free timed-entry pass from loc.gov; we build the loop around your slot. Plan 45 to 60 minutes. Honestly, this is the stop people talk about afterward more than the Capitol itself. The chauffeur waits nearby.
U.S. Supreme Court (walk-up)
Directly across First Street NE from the Capitol, the Supreme Court building was completed in 1935. The marble steps, the Corinthian columns, and the “Equal Justice Under Law” inscription on the west pediment are the photographs everyone takes. When the Court is not hearing arguments, the ground floor and exhibits are open at no charge. Oral arguments run October through April and seat the public first-come.
Senate and House office buildings (drive-by)
We drive the row of Senate buildings on Constitution Avenue: Russell (1909, the oldest, its Caucus Room the site of historic hearings), Dirksen, and Hart, whose atrium holds the Calder mobile “Mountains and Clouds.” Across the Capitol on Independence Avenue sit the House buildings, Cannon, Longworth, and Rayburn. These are working offices, so it is a narrated drive-by, though guests with a meeting or a pass can be dropped at the door.
U.S. Botanic Garden and Bartholdi Park (walk-up)
At the foot of the Capitol on the Mall side, the Botanic Garden conservatory and the small, formal Bartholdi Park make a quiet break from marble and columns. Entry is free. The Bartholdi Fountain, cast in Paris in 1876 for the Philadelphia Centennial, anchors the park.
Folger Shakespeare Library, Eastern Market, Union Station
The Folger on East Capitol Street holds the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, including dozens of First Folios; its exhibition gallery is open free and makes a 15-minute walk-up. From there we can roll through the residential blocks to Eastern Market, the 1873 public market that still runs, and finish at Union Station, the 1908 Beaux-Arts terminal. Eastern Market and Union Station work as either a short walk-up or a drive-by, depending on your time.
Who this tour is for
This route suits history and government buffs, civics-minded families with teenagers, student groups, and visitors who have already done the Mall and want a different DC. It also fits guests from abroad who want to see where Congress and the courts operate up close. If your group mainly wants the famous memorials and a single sweep of the city, the Mall tours linked above are the better pick.
Pricing
Starting at $440 for a private tour in the executive sedan (up to 3 guests), with a 4-hour minimum. The Executive SUV is $480 for 4 hours (up to 6). Larger groups ride in a Mercedes Sprinter at $560 for 4 hours (up to 13).

Common questions about Capitol Hill Tour by Limousine
Can you visit Capitol Hill without a Capitol building tour?
Yes. The Capitol's East and West fronts, the Supreme Court steps, the Library of Congress exterior, the Botanic Garden and the Folger are all walk-up stops with no reservation. This 4-hour private tour covers the whole legislative campus outside, and fits an inside tour if you hold one.
How do I get tickets for a U.S. Capitol tour?
Capitol interior tours are free and booked through visitthecapitol.gov, or through your Senator's or Representative's office for a staff-led tour. Slots fill weeks ahead in spring and summer. Tell us your time and the chauffeur builds the Capitol Hill loop around it, dropping you at the Visitor Center entrance.
Is a tour of the Capitol worth it?
If you can get a slot, yes: the Rotunda, the Crypt and the old Senate chamber are the highlight of the Hill. If not, the outside of the Capitol, the Supreme Court and the Library of Congress's Jefferson Building still make a strong half day, and this tour covers all of them with narration.
How much does it cost to visit Capitol Hill?
The buildings are free. The private Capitol Hill tour starts from $440 for 4 hours in the Executive Sedan for up to 3 guests, or $480 in the Executive SUV for up to 6. Groups ride the Mercedes Sprinter at $560 for up to 13 or the mini bus at $720 for 22 to 32. Tours bill a 4-hour minimum.
Which stops are on the Capitol Hill tour?
Walk-ups at the U.S. Capitol East and West fronts, the Library of Congress Jefferson Building, the Supreme Court, the U.S. Botanic Garden and the Folger Shakespeare Library, with narrated drive-bys of the Russell, Dirksen and Hart Senate offices, the House office buildings and Union Station.
Can a limousine get close to the Capitol?
Yes. Security perimeters block vehicle access on some sides, but there are legal drop-off and photo points around the East Front and the West Lawn, and your chauffeur knows which are open that day. You step out steps from the building instead of walking in from a distant garage.
