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.
★★★★★
Great tour of all the monuments.
Our tour guide, Amin, was excellent! Dropped us off at the most optimal places to see the sites.

Wonderful tour
Our guide Amin was fantastic! He went above and beyond to make the tour all we could ask for. We saw every monument and then some

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!★★★★★

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★★★★★

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.

Awesome
Fabulous!!!! Service was wonderful. Pick up on time and driver , Ali, was most accommodating and friendly. Even though some of monuments were closed - we still managed to get up and close to those opened. It was a beautiful night.

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!★★★★★
Excellent service, Khalid was great!

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!

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.★★★★★
Family trip - check!
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.

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. 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…

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

Way to see monuments
We had a great time touring the monuments at night. Our driver was very helpful and friendly. Couldn't have had a better time
Your DC sightseeing questions, answered
A private DC sightseeing tour by limousine is the easiest way to see the iconic stops without worrying about parking, walking distances, or summer heat. We've been running monuments-and-museum routes for 20+ years. Most days a sightseeing tour from us means the DC monuments tour at the National Mall, the cherry blossom tour in spring, or the Washington DC night tour after dinner. Couples, families with kids, and 8th-grade school groups make up most of the bookings.
There's no bus, no headsets, and no waiting for strangers to reboard. One vehicle, your group, and a chauffeur who drops you at each stop and stages where visitors can't park. Grandparents and grade-schoolers do this tour together comfortably; whoever wants a rest waits in the climate-controlled car while the walkers explore.
Call (202) 609-9811 to talk through a route, or book online. We answer 24/7.
What's covered on a sightseeing tour
Standard sightseeing routes cover the National Mall monuments (Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, WWII, Korean War, Vietnam Veterans, MLK, FDR), plus the U.S. Capitol and the White House perimeter. Most tours add Arlington National Cemetery and Embassy Row depending on time. The chauffeur knows where to park, where to drop, and which side of the monument has the best afternoon light.
How long does a sightseeing tour take
Half-day (4 hours) covers the full National Mall circuit: the U.S. Capitol, the White House perimeter, the Washington Monument, the Tidal Basin memorials, the war memorials, and the Lincoln Memorial, with the chauffeur narrating more landmarks in between. Full-day (8 hours) adds the Virginia side: Arlington National Cemetery, the Marine Corps (Iwo Jima) Memorial, the Air Force Memorial, and Georgetown. If you're trying to fit in Mount Vernon or Gettysburg, you want the full-day or a multi-day. First-time DC visitors usually pick the 4-hour or the full day. Repeat clients book the full day so they can stop wherever something catches their eye.
How much does a DC sightseeing tour cost
A 4-hour private sightseeing tour starts at $440 in the Executive Sedan (up to 3 guests). The executive SUV runs $480, the stretch limousine $540, the Mercedes Sprinter $560, the mini bus $720, and the white Hummer limousine $760. Every rate is for the whole vehicle, never per person, and the price quoted at booking is the price you pay. A fuller day simply adds hours at the vehicle's hourly rate. Compare every vehicle side by side on the pricing page.
Who books DC sightseeing tours with us
Mostly families on a once-or-twice-a-lifetime DC trip. Couples on anniversaries. 8th-grade school groups every spring. Wedding parties adding a 4-hour sightseeing block the day before the rehearsal so out-of-town family can see the monuments together. The vehicle is yours alone: no other passengers, no fixed stops. Browse all tour packages →
Does the chauffeur share the stories along the way
Yes. Our chauffeurs have been running these routes for years and know DC inside out: the landmarks, the local history, and the practical details (where to park, where the bathrooms are, which side of the monument gets the afternoon sun). As you drive between stops they point out the landmarks and share the context, so you get the history without reading a guidebook.
When is the best time of year for a DC sightseeing tour
Spring is the obvious answer, but it comes with a catch. Cherry blossom season around the Tidal Basin typically runs late March to early April. That two-to-three-week window fills our calendar 6 to 8 weeks out. Book the cherry blossom tour by early February if you want a specific date.
Fall is our second-busiest season. October crowds are lighter than spring, foliage on the Mall looks good from early October through early November, and the weather holds for long outdoor stops. Summers in DC are genuinely hot, so a chauffeured vehicle with climate control becomes more useful, not less. Your group can duck in and out between stops without walking a mile between parking and the monument entrance.
Winter is underrated. The monuments at night in December and January have almost no crowds. Fewer people know the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial looks striking on a cold clear night. The DC night tour is a good option in any season, but winter nights have a mood the summer version doesn't.
What's the best DC monuments tour by limousine
The DC monuments tour covers all the core stops on the Mall in about 4 hours. For clients who specifically want to see the Lincoln, Jefferson, and MLK memorials close together with time to walk around each one, that package is the right fit. It's also the one most chauffeurs could run with their eyes closed, so the routing is dialed in well. Add the Capitol Hill tour if you want to see the congressional buildings and Supreme Court perimeter.
For the monuments after dark, the night tour is a separate package. The Lincoln Memorial is lit from dusk through the night. The WWII Memorial and the Vietnam Wall have their own quiet atmosphere at night that the daytime version doesn't quite match. A lot of veterans choose the night tour specifically for that reason.
Can a limousine enter the National Mall
The National Mall is mostly car-free near the monuments, but there are practical drop-off and parking points within a short walk of every major stop. The chauffeur knows where to park for the Lincoln Memorial (Henry Bacon Drive), the Jefferson Memorial (Ohio Drive SW, with a bay view), the WWII Memorial (17th Street), and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (Constitution Avenue). At Arlington National Cemetery, the chauffeur drops at the visitor center and waits in the lot while your group tours the grounds.
