Private Walking Tours Washington DC

By Donna Burns


The United States capital attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. However, even those who live near by often wish they spent more time there. One problem is that the principal places of interest are often crowded with tourists and school groups. It's also stressful driving into the city, especially at the dreaded rush hour. Something that has become more and more popular for these and other reasons are private walking tours Washington DC.

It's easy to do an internet booking for your family or group. Going online and entering all requested data is the most cost-effective way, too. There are set tours and times that also cost less, as well as discounts for back-to-back tours or larger groups. This is a great way to build bonds among families or employees.

You can also schedule a custom tour. That way you can see exactly what you want, when you want, and how you want. A group will have its own enthusiastic, experienced tour guide. You can check online for customer reviews and to see what are the most popular excursions.

You can also get new ideas for seeing the city. Explore it by moonlight, when all the monuments are lit and the crowds gone home. The beautiful Mall, with its reflecting pool and tidal basin, will be fully revealed as you wander at will and hear facts that make everything more meaningful and memorable.

How about a ghost tour of Georgetown or of the principal haunted houses of Washington DC? That's one of the different ideas you will see offered by award-winning companies. If you talk to a customer service representative, you can suit the experience to whatever age, physical ability, or interests you choose. There are even bus tours, if some of your group can't walk one to three miles.

Seeing the district on foot lets people really appreciate the history, character, and beauty of this government center, rich in culture and distinction. There are many sights that most never see, since they are not mentioned in history books or visible from the main streets. Even the residential areas are lively and fun to see, full of beautiful architecture and enlivened by embassies, museums, and universities.

You probably need to make a booking at least three days in advance. Once you book online, there are no alterations. You can arrange to be picked up at National Airport or your hotel if you're arranging a bus or van tour. The FAQs online are full of information, and reviews at Tripadvisor or other travel sites tell you a lot about the experience.

Taking one of these exclusive guided tours is probably the very best way to see Washington DC. You can't beat it for an educational experience, and it will bring history alive. In fact, the Lincoln Assassination Tour is one of the most popular. There's so many things to see that this could become an annual tradition for your family or business.
