Scheduling 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.

The tours are easily booked online, which is also the most cost effective way to do it. Another way to save money, incidentally, is to make a reservation for one of the set times and one of the regular but still exclusive tours. All you need to do is pick a time, enter in how many will be in your group, and see if there is an opening. Back-to-back tours reduce the price, as do group rates for businesses or large families.

Of course, the name of the game is custom tours. You can tailor the experience to those in the group, seeing exactly what you want when it's most convenient. Each group has a professional, licensed, enthusiastic guide to make sure every sight is given full attention. Check online reviews to see how others found their experiences and to get an idea of popular excursions that might interest your audience.

For instance, how about seeing the sights by moonlight? There are all those illuminated monuments which highlight the beautiful placement of Tidal Basin, Reflecting Pool, and Mall. Most of the tourists, street vendors, and commuter traffic will be gone, and you may feel like the streets are yours.

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.

Strolling a mile or more through the streets and paths of DC will give everyone a real sense of the rich history and the thriving civic, commercial, and residential life. There are more things going on than most will ever know, but you will find out lots of the secrets. The city is full of museums, many in former residences, as well as embassies, universities, and cultural centers.

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.

A private guided tour is about as good as you can get when visiting a place you don't know intimately. It can be a great educational experience for your kids. The Lincoln Assassination Tour is one of the most popular. There is so much to see that this could become a family or employee-team-building tradition.
