Whether you’re planning a family trip, a corporate outing, or a group visit of any size, we’ll design a DC experience around your schedule, your interests, and your group. You hire a guide – not a tour.
After more than 20 years leading tours in this city, we know that no two groups are the same. A family with young kids needs something very different from a corporate team-building day or a school group trip. That’s why every private tour we run starts with a conversation about what you actually want — and ends with an experience built specifically around that.
We’re not limited to walking either. We arrange private cars for smaller groups and coaches for larger ones. On foot, by car, or by bus — we’ll get you there.
Who Books Private Tours With Us?
Families
Your pace, your route, your kids’ attention spans. We’ll build something that works for everyone in the group; including the ones who said they weren’t interested.
Corporate Groups
Team building, client entertainment, company retreats, and incentive trips. We’ve done them all. Our guides know how to read a room and keep a group engaged.
School & Student Groups
Looking for a curriculum-aligned educational experience? We offer specialized EducaTours programs for K–12, university, and homeschool groups. [Visit EducaTours →]

Why choose us for your private tours?

🚌 Walking, car, or coach — We arrange private vehicles and group coaches when walking isn’t the right fit.
🗺️ Any topic, any neighborhood — After 20 years in DC, there’s very little we haven’t already built a tour about. Don’t see what you want? Just ask.
👥 Any group size — Minimum of 1, no real maximum. We scale up with additional guides as needed.
✅ Fully customizable — You hire a guide, not a tour. We help you build an itinerary around your schedule and interests from scratch.
Private Tour FAQ
Do you have a minimum or maximum group size? No minimum, we’ve guided groups of one. For groups over 45 we send additional guides to keep things manageable. Some tours have a flexible maximum of 20 per guide due to street size, but we almost always find a way to make it work.
What tours do you offer? Any. Seriously. After 20 years in DC there’s very little we haven’t already developed a tour about. If you have something specific in mind that isn’t in our catalog, we’ll build it.
Are your tours customizable? Yes – completely. You hire a guide, not a tour. Our team works with you to build an itinerary around your schedule, interests, and group size. We’ll be honest if something isn’t feasible in the time you have, but we’ll always find the best possible version of what you’re looking for.
Can you get tickets to specific attractions? We can include attraction tickets as part of your tour itinerary when booked in advance. Our guides also assist with logistics on the day such as timing, security procedures, directions, and how to get the most out of each site.
Can you arrange transportation? Yes. We have coaches for larger groups and private cars and drivers for smaller ones.
Do I have to pay in advance? Yes – payment is required to confirm your guide. We accept credit cards, wire transfers, Venmo, Paypal and checks.
