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.

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.

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!★★★★★

Thank you to Zack for a great day out - he made us feel like super stars!
We were surprised with an upgrade of transport to a stretch Hummer, taken to all the monuments and buildings we wanted to see and enjoyed music to make the experience memorable. Awesome.

Our driver was the best ever.
He knew exactly what every monument and statue was. He was sooo patient with the kids. He went out of his way to make sure we were happy. I can’t say enough good things about this experience and our driver.

We booked this service for my husband's birthday. The tour was fantastic. It was extensive, stopping at all the monuments we wanted to see. We were able to customize the tour as well, spending more time at some monuments and skipping or shortening visits to those we were less interested in. The limo is able to park very close to each monument, much closer than we could have if we had driven ourselves. The driver was polite and helpful. Wear comfortable shoes because, despite the proximity to the monuments, there is still a lot of walking involved in exploring the monuments themselves. We did our tour at night and the monuments are gorgeous when lit for evening. The driver can tell you a few facts about each monument, but he was not a "certified tour guide" so if you want that much detail, this is not the tour to take. But if you want to see DC in absolute comfort, this is the way to do it. The limo will pick you up at your specified address in DC, drive you for four hours to the monuments on their list which is customizable, and then drop you back off at your specific DC address. If you want something to drink or eat, bring it yourself as only waters are provided in the limo. Definitely worth the money. Best way ever to see 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!

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.

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 driver Zaki made this 4 hour limousine ride the most memorable experience!
We were able to stop and spend time at the memorials (Jefferson, Lincoln, MLK, Washington monument), the White House, The Capital and The Washington Mall. Zaki, thanks for making me and my twin sister’s 60th birthday one we shall always remember!

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. Great experience for the money and time as it kept us from losing the afternoon when we arrived.★★★★★
Great way to see the Capital if you only have a few hours.
We had an afternoon flight on a Sunday and decided to get a tour of DC in the morning. It turned out to be a great way to see the major sights and monuments in a short period of time. Stopped at all the major landmarks on the Mall.

We had a fantastic time with Zach as our driver on a very cold rainy day. He did everything possible to make our exploration of Washington DC a memorable experience. He came to our door every time with an umbrella and took photos and videos of us at each site. He was very fun and played historical tour information so that we could learn about each monument before we arrived there. Zach was fun, professional, and happy. The limo was brightly lit and very long. Thanks for a wonderful trip....★★★★★
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! ❤️

Our family (which includes 2 kids and 3 elderly) was visiting DC during Spring break and wanting to hit all of the tourist spots. Our driver (Khalid) was punctual and attentive to our needs. He asked what are the must sees. Since we are here during the beginning of the cherry blossom season, we wanted to make sure we get to see them along with all of the monuments. He made stops for us to take pictures and made sure we do not have to walk too much since we have elderly and little ones. It was very fun for everyone to ride in the limo too and see all the attention we get on the roads. It was a great experience and headache-free for us to not have to plan our routes and find parking etc.★★★★★
Moms and daughters do DC
My best friend and I took our tween daughters. Best way to see monuments! We had control over our time, route, and highlights, and our daughters were so surprised to not be on a bus for the tour. Best surprise ever!
★★★★★
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 way to see DC at night. This is the best way to see DC at night. Raj picked us up at our restaurant and gave us a fabulous tour. We stopped and were able to get out to walk around and take photos at all the major monuments and buildings. He got us closer to several locations than we were even able to do on foot during the day. The limo was well stocked with waters and had plenty of stemware for your own drinks.Embassy Row is the stretch of Massachusetts Avenue NW that runs northwest from Dupont Circle up to the Naval Observatory. Dozens of embassies and diplomatic missions line it, out of the roughly 175 across the city, most of them in former Gilded Age mansions. This is its own tour, not the National Mall monuments circuit. You see a different DC here: foreign flags on every block, the Gandhi and Churchill statues, the Spanish Steps, and the Kalorama side streets where the Obamas and Jeff Bezos own homes. A limousine is the right way to cover it. Mass Ave is narrow, parking is scarce, and the buildings read best from a slow-rolling, climate-controlled car with a chauffeur who knows which country owns which mansion.
Be clear on one thing up front. Embassy Row is mostly a scenic narrated drive. You cannot walk into the embassies (they are working diplomatic property), so the tour is a slow cruise down Mass Ave with a handful of photo pull-overs at the statues and the Spanish Steps. That honesty is the point: you get the whole diplomatic district in comfort in about four hours, without the parking tickets or the summer heat that punish anyone trying this on foot.
The core route runs Mass Ave NW from Dupont Circle to Observatory Circle, with the chauffeur narrating as you go. Here is what you pass, roughly in order.
The Islamic Center, the Indonesian Embassy in the old Walsh-McLean mansion, and the Cosmos Club are narrated drive-bys. The statues and the Spanish Steps are where most groups want to step out for photos.
Most DC visitors see the monuments on their first trip. On a second or third visit, Embassy Row is the neighborhood that surprises people, and it is not on the standard tour-bus route. The buildings are former mansions, most built between 1880 and 1930, later acquired by foreign governments as their DC diplomatic footprint grew after World War II.
The British Embassy, designed by Edwin Lutyens and completed in 1930, sits on a full city block at 3100 Massachusetts behind an iron fence. Across from the older mansion stretch, the Walsh-McLean house (now the Indonesian Embassy) was built in 1903 by an Irish-born prospector who struck gold in Colorado. These are the building stories your chauffeur fills in as you roll past, the kind no brochure carries.
If your group wants the National Mall instead, that is a different route. Our Welcome to DC half-day tour covers the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the war memorials, and the White House. Embassy Row pairs naturally with it across one DC day.
Your chauffeur narrates the route: which country owns which mansion, the history, and the best spots to slow down or pull over for photos. Think of it as driving with someone who has spent 20 years in this city, not a scripted museum tour.
Yes. This is a private, chauffeur-guided tour, so we run the core Embassy Row route from Dupont to Observatory Circle and add nearby neighborhoods inside the four hours whenever you ask. Kalorama is built in. From there, Adams Morgan is about 10 minutes, the Washington National Cathedral is about 5 minutes north on Wisconsin Avenue, and Georgetown is roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Tell us which neighborhoods interest you when you book and we route accordingly, or have us tailor a custom DC route for you. For more of DC’s off-the-monument side, the hidden gems of DC tour covers U Street, Eastern Market, and Anacostia and runs well as the second half of a full day.
Any season works, since this is an exterior architectural drive. Spring during Cherry Blossom season (late March to mid-April) is when DC is at its most photogenic, and it is also the busiest, so book several weeks ahead. Fall gives the best light for photos and easier temperatures. December is worth it during the holidays, when several embassies put up elaborate exterior decorations. There is also Embassy Open House Weekend, typically in early May, when many embassies open their doors with cultural exhibits and food. Call ahead to confirm the current year’s dates, and note this is the one weekend you can actually go inside.
For 1 to 3 guests the Executive Sedan is the right fit; for 4 to 6, the Executive SUV, a full-size executive SUV with the comfort to cover the route in one relaxed loop. For groups up to 13, the Mercedes Sprinter Van gives everyone a window seat and standing room to move around between photo stops. All come with a professional career chauffeur, water, and climate control.
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).
Browse the full DC tours hub to compare every chauffeured route, or look at the Welcome to DC half-day tour for the monuments and the hidden gems of DC tour for the neighborhoods east and north of the Mall. Many guests pair Embassy Row with one of those for a two-part day: the diplomatic district north of the Mall in the morning, the monuments or the neighborhoods in the afternoon.
Call (202) 609-9811 or book online. An expert answers 24/7, no voicemail. Tell us your group size and whether you want to time the tour around Cherry Blossom season or Embassy Open House Weekend, and we will lock in the vehicle and the route.
Yes, especially on a second or third DC visit. The stretch of Massachusetts Avenue from Dupont Circle to the Naval Observatory is lined with Gilded Age mansions now flying the flags of dozens of diplomatic missions, and it is not on any tour-bus loop. This private tour drives it with narration and stops for photos.
Dozens along Massachusetts Avenue NW: the British Embassy on its full block at 3100, the Indian Embassy with the Gandhi statue, Indonesia in the Walsh-McLean mansion, Japan, Turkey, Ireland, Egypt and the missions around Sheridan Circle, up to the Vice President's residence at the Naval Observatory.
Walking the full length takes about an hour and a half with no context. This tour covers it in comfort as part of 4 hours that also take in Dupont Circle, Kalorama and the Spanish Steps, with photo stops at the Gandhi and Churchill statues and the chauffeur naming each mansion as you pass.
Not on a regular day; embassies are working diplomatic buildings. The exception is Embassy Open House weekend, usually in early May, when many missions open their doors with exhibits and food. We can time the tour to it if your dates line up; otherwise the exteriors and gardens are the show.
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 of up to 13 ride the Mercedes Sprinter at $560, which gives everyone a window seat for an architecture drive. Tours bill a 4-hour minimum in every vehicle.
Along Massachusetts Avenue NW in Northwest DC, running from Dupont Circle past Sheridan Circle and the 22nd Street Spanish Steps up to Observatory Circle, with Kalorama's ambassadors' residences just off the avenue. Your chauffeur picks you up at your hotel and drives you straight into it.
