The whole tour was fabulous until one of my sisters had a medical episode at Mt Vernon. Christopher was so helpful. He found someone to get her checked out in first aid and someone with a golf cart to take us back to his vehicle.

This was the best private tour that we’ve experienced. The vehicle was spacious and clean. Chris was personable, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in our family had an incredible afternoon! I can’t recommend this enough!

Christopher is wonderful! This is the second tour we did with him in our ten day vacation. Christopher has a love of history, learning those interesting facts and then sharing those with others. He took us to Arlington National Cemetery and had many interesting facts and stories. The tour included going into the Arlington Home and Memorial. Christopher had the timing just right for us to see the changing of the guards at the cemetery. After leaving the cemetery, Christopher took us on a tour of the town of Alexandria. There were so many interesting facts that he shared. What a historical town. He then took us to Mount Vernon, the home of George Washington. You can tell that Christopher loves visiting here and told us great stories about this location. I would highly recommend him for your future tours. He will even customize any DC tour to whatever you need. Christopher even dropped us off at our next museum location for the day. You will be very happy after you experience a day with Christopher.

Our tour today was outstanding! Christopher was amazing. He filled us with so much information and made sure we saw everything. He has a wealth of knowledge and made our first trip to DC a great time. Our 12 and 13 year old grandsons love the tour and thought Christopher was “ so cool”.

I rarely take tours and usually prefer to visit places on my own. However, I am so glad I booked with Christopher. He has great, comfortable vehicles and was professional and friendly. I have a disabled grandson with whom Christopher was helpful and compassionate. He also is a walking encyclopedia of history and discusses things in a witty, intelligent manner. You won't regret booking with him- he's great!

Christopher was beyond amazing. We could not have had a better experience. He is incredibly intelligent and so willing to share the information he knows. Thanks to Chris, I was able to take a picture in the same mirror George Washington used to look at himself. Truly, truly an amazing time with Chris. Cannot recommend him enough.

Sarah_B

What a wonderful day! Christopher was a wonderful tour guide and really enhanced our day beyond our expectations. Our day started at Arlington Cemetery and Christopher knew just the right spot for us to watch the changing of the guard. He also took us around to all the most important sites at Arlington and enriched the experience with stories and facts we had never heard before. Definitely not a boring rehash of the same old history. Our day wrapped up at Mt. Vernon. Again everything was perfect. The timing, organization, what exhibits were worth seeing, which weren't and always willing to make sure we felt we had seen everything we wanted to see. Cannot thank Christopher enough for a truly perfect day.

Chris knew the grounds of Mt. VERNON well. He took us to all the major highlights and then some. He paid special attention to the African American experience, which resonated with my kids. CHRISTOPHER HATS OFF! GREAT TOUR.
