5 of the Best Washington DC Private Tours

We have sorted through enough itineraries and information to keep any bureaucrat happy to bring you the best five private tours of Washington DC.

(Photo: Getyourguide.com)

Depending on whose rhetoric you choose to believe, Washington DC is the home of freedom, the ultimate American beacon of hope and dreams; or it’s the swamp, a place of torpid bureaucracy and a scam-artist leadership intent on lining their own pockets. For those proud of their nuanced opinions, it’s an indispensable cornerstone of the great American machine that every once in a while, needs a little maintenance. A trip along the National Mall is a trip through the history of Western democracy and social reform over the last few centuries. Private guided tours, such as the options below, are particularly in vogue in Washington D.C. because there’s so much to see.

Washington, DC private National Mall walking tour

The National Mall of Washington DC has to be one of the most culturally rich two-mile stretches of land in the world. Monuments to great presidents, fallen heroes and civil rights leaders are what you can see, but there are so many more stories of events, protests and inaugurations here too. The Capitol, White House and Smithsonian museums mean there’s a lot to take in. That’s why this private guided tour is the perfect way to focus in on the sights that mean the most to you. Group sizes of up to five people are accommodated at the price listed. From $350 per group.

Arlington National Cemetery walking tour

Across the Potomac River, Washington DC becomes Arlington, Virginia. It is here, beside the Pentagon, that hills and woods are interspersed with neat rows of pristine gravestones at the Arlington National Cemetery. Luminaries, leaders and soldiers have their final resting place in these hallowed grounds. A private walking tour of the site is a great way to pay your respects to the individuals who maybe changed your life for the better, benefitting from the insight of your guide along the way. The price listed is for two people, with gradual increases for additional people. From $350 per group.

Private half-day sightseeing tour of Washington DC

If you are in a group of four people or fewer, with only a limited amount of time to spare, you can customize the itinerary of this four-hour tour to make sure you see as much as interests you while in Washington DC. See the US Capitol, White House and a slew of memorials to those who fell or were injured during various wars, including Vietnam, Korea and World War II.

Customer Reviews

Both tours with Joanna & Cesar were excellent! We saw more than we could have done any other way and more importantly understood more of what we were looking at!

We appreciated Nick’s humor, enthusiasm, and knowledge. He made the daytime and the night tours very enjoyable!

Ralph was fantastic! He interacted with everyone in a personal way and made the tour great!

My husband was skeptical at first since it was a bus tour and I was worried we wouldn’t get enough time at our stops, BUT it was great! I felt like there was a perfect amount of time to look and take pictures and even, when available, to stop at the gift shops. Our guide was informative and dependable. The complimentary water was great and we appreciated the access to free ponchos since it was a heavy sprinkle off an on during our tour. The bus was great, the perfect temperature and the seats are comfortable.

Did it on my first day in DC and gave me ideas on what to revisit or what other venues to go to. The guide Christopher was very knowledgeable and came over excellently.

We had a wonderful tour with Joey! She was knowledgeable, engaged, funny, friendly and a terrific host. We highly recommend this tour. Our only regret is that we didn’t have another day to spend in DC sightseeing!

• gasolineass 0 contributions 5.0 of 5 bubbles Well worth the money Excellent. In the past we have done the hop on hop off tours. This experience was so much better. We appreciated getting dropped off and picked up right at the site to see. We could take as much or as little time as we wanted. The driver was very courteous and kind. We would have liked some narrative about the sites. The driver was quite knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we asked. We had asked about the Vice President residence and he added that to the end of our trip. Full 3 hour tour. There were 4 of us and we all felt the little bit more money expenditure was well worth it.

The Wharf Washington DC: Your Go-To Destination for Waterfront Dining and Luxury Stays

Life in Pumps - Where Fashion, Travel and Wellness Meet!

Nestled along the historic Potomac River, The Wharf in Washington DC has emerged as a premier destination for luxury travelers and visitors looking to experience the capital city's vibrant waterfront scene. Following a grand renovation, this bustling district now offers an unparalleled blend of dining, shopping, entertainment, and accommodation options, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking river views.

A Glimpse into History

The Wharf's transformation is a testament to Washington DC's commitment to revitalizing its waterfront spaces. Once an underutilized area with immense potential, The Wharf has been reimagined into a thriving hub of activity and luxury, while still paying homage to the rich maritime history that defines the Potomac River. Today, visitors to The Wharf are invited to partake in this dynamic blend of past and present, making it a must-visit destination in the heart of the nation's capital.

Luxurious Accommodations at the InterContinental Washington DC

For those seeking a stay that combines luxury with stunning waterfront views, the InterContinental Washington DC at The Wharf is the epitome of upscale lodging. Guests can enjoy elegant rooms, top-notch amenities, and impeccable service, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay. Whether you're in town for business or leisure, the InterContinental is an excellent choice for those who appreciate the finer things in life.

Waterfront Dining at Its Best

One of The Wharf's standout attractions is its array of dining options, particularly the renowned La Vie. This exquisite restaurant offers not only delectable cuisine but also sweeping views of the Potomac River, creating the perfect ambiance for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. Beyond La Vie, The Wharf boasts a variety of waterfront dining spots where visitors can savor a range of culinary delights while taking in the stunning scenery.

Beyond Dining: Shopping, Entertainment, and More

The Wharf is more than just a place to eat; it's a destination that caters to all tastes and interests. With its boutique shopping options, visitors can find unique gifts, fashionable apparel, and artisanal goods. The public piers offer a chance to get closer to the water, whether it's for a leisurely stroll or to catch a water taxi for a scenic ride along the river. The Wharf's entertainment lineup is equally impressive, featuring live music, seasonal events, and cultural festivities that draw crowds from near and far.

A Destination Like No Other

While The Wharf today is celebrated for its luxury accommodations, delectable dining, and vibrant entertainment, it's essential not to overlook the historical significance of the area, particularly its roots in the fishing industry. Before its transformation, The Wharf was a bustling hub for local fishermen and seafood vendors, a tradition that spanned generations and played a pivotal role in the community's livelihood. Despite the area's redevelopment into a modern, upscale destination, efforts have been made to preserve this rich fishing heritage. The Municipal Fish Market, the oldest continuously operating open-air fish market in the United States, remains a vital part of The Wharf. Here, visitors and locals alike can still experience the charm and tradition of the past, purchasing fresh seafood or enjoying the catch of the day prepared by experienced vendors. This continuity ensures that the spirit of the original fisherman's wharf lives on, bridging the gap between old and new, and honoring the legacy of those who once made their living from the Potomac's waters.

Navigating through The Wharf's vibrant streets and waterfront promenades offers an immersive experience that blends culture, recreation, and leisure in a picturesque setting. Seasonal attractions add an extra layer of enchantment, with winter bringing an ice rink and summer hosting open-air concerts that resonate with melodies under the starlit sky. Each season unfolds its unique charm, ensuring that The Wharf remains a year-round destination for both locals and tourists. Beyond scheduled events, the daily rhythms of life at The Wharf captivate those who seek moments of beauty and relaxation amidst the urban environment. Whether it's watching the boats glide by from one of the many waterside benches or catching a sunset that paints the sky in hues of orange and pink, The Wharf exemplifies the harmonious blend of nature and city living. This dynamic environment, coupled with the area's deep-rooted history and modern luxury, makes The Wharf not just a place to visit, but a destination to be experienced and treasured.

Drive-in movie fans can welcome outdoor films — and “Grease” — back to Union Market. It’s also a big weekend for lovers of kitschy music, thanks to the Eurovision Song Contest and costume-friendly viewing parties. Spring garden tours and markets take place across the area on Saturday, while local breweries are banding together to help one of their own start making beer again.

Prices and locations vary.

AAPI Beer Collab Launch Party at Lost Generation

For the second year in a row, Eckington’s Lost Generation Brewing marks Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month by releasing a beer that benefits charity. Except this time, it’s releasing two beers.

The other is Briefly Gorgeous, a saison made in collaboration with Bluejacket, which uses 50Hertz’s Sichuan peppercorns, yuzu and Buddha’s hand. Both beers debut at a party featuring a lion dance, plus food by Bun’d Up and Dine With Claudine. 6 to 9 p.m. Free .

Home by Midnight at Jimmy Valentine’s

Do you ever wish you could go out to a bar, dance to great music and still get to bed at a reasonable hour? Home by Midnight hears you. This new night at Jimmy Valentine’s promises the music you’d expect at a late-night rave, but with a DJ who starts at 9 p.m. Perfect for the older raver — or the old at heart. Doors at 8 p.m., music at 9. Free .

‘Mummy in the Closet: Evita’s Return’ at GALA Hispanic Theatre

Eva Perón stars from beyond the grave in GALA Hispanic Theatre’s “Mummy in the Closet: Evita’s Return,” a macabre musical comedy based on the true journey of the Argentine political icon’s embalmed body after her death in 1952. This is a new production of the show, which was a hit for GALA during its world premiere there in 2009.

Eurovision Grand Final viewing parties

Speaking of Europe, Saturday is also the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest, the annual pop music competition known for over-the-top performances, cheesy tunes and an abundance of glitter. The event is a spectacle in Europe — this year is hosted by 2023 champion Sweden — but it’s popular in D.C., too. (So popular, in fact, that the official viewing party at the House of Sweden has a wait list.) DC9 is hosting its annual celebration, with a live broadcast beginning at 3 p.m. Join in with Eurovision bingo, where sample squares include “fire (real or video)” and “Vikings,” as well as trivia and drink specials. After the winner has been crowned, it’s time for a Eurovision dance party featuring songs from past winners, including Abba, Céline Dion, Katrina and the Waves, and, hopefully, Finnish masked metal gods Lordi. There’s a $100 prize for the best Eurovision-inspired costume.

Save Hellbender Beer Fest

Hellbender Brewing had its boiler break down in late April, and without a way to heat water and boil wort, the Fort Totten brewery can’t make beer. To help offset the high costs of a replacement, the local brewing community is rallying around Hellbender.

Mother’s Day ideas

Need a last-minute idea for Sunday? We can’t guarantee restaurant reservations are still available, but we do stand by our ideas for things to do from a few weeks back, including two all-you-can-eat brunch shows with the swinging Eric Byrd Trio at the Hamilton, a few trips on the historic carousel and a tour of galleries at Glen Echo Park, or a waterfront stroll in Alexandria.

Momedy Kumite at the DC Improv

Instead of the usual card or flowers, maybe Mom needs a good laugh for Mother’s Day.

Hot Water Music at the Howard Theatre

The members of Hot Water Music seem as surprised as anyone that they’re celebrating their 30th anniversary on the road as they prepare to release their 10th album, “Vows.” The Gainesville, Fla.-founded act, fronted by singer-songwriter-guitarists Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard, can still whip up punk tunes with heart-on-sleeve emotion and anthemic hooks. The band promises to “dust off some oldies” on tour; perhaps it will play 1997 favorite “Turnstile” — the namesake of the current generation’s biggest hardcore band. Joining Hot Water Music is Quicksand, a New York band whose renewed existence — albeit after a long hiatus — is even more surprising. Quicksand’s metallic approach to post-hardcore laid the blueprint for countless punk and alt-metal bands alike. 8 p.m. $35-$60 .

Kathleen Hanna at the Lincoln Theatre

Bikini Kill and Le Tigre punk frontwoman Kathleen Hanna embodies the title of her memoir “Rebel Girl.” One of leaders of the ’90s “riot grrrl” feminist movement — the book takes its title from Bikini Kill’s iconic song — Hanna is embarking on a 10-stop nationwide book tour to discuss her boundary-breaking life in music.

Gaby Moreno at the Hamilton Live
