Mount Vernon & Arlington National Cemetery tour - Christopher was great! He is friendly, knowledgeable and fun with his facts. He is kid-friendly and riding in his Sprinter van was super comfortable. We’ll be back to do more with him!

Great day at Arlington cemetary and Mount Vernon - Chris was a very knowledgeable guide and knows his history and facts. Had bathrooms and watering holes figures out. Spent 6 hours and no one in the family regretted hiring him. Considering doing more tours with him while in DC. Thanks Chris for the great day and going above and beyond....

Worth the expense - Our tour guide was a wealth of information. He was very patient with my kids and adapted the tour to fit our needs. Although more expensive than I wanted to pay, compared to the other options, it was worth the experience for the quality.

Great way to get introduced to DC - We were looking for a way to see as much as possible in our first day in DC. The tour was absolutely great! Chris got us the best up close and personal view of the changing of the guard you could ever want you could almost touch the guards. We got a very good over view of the Capital, the tour was everything we hoped for and more! I felt Chris went the extra mile to personalize the tour. I would highly recommend this tour!

Arlington & Mt Vernon - We had a wonderful tour with Christopher, last week on our trip to Washington DC. He took us to Arlington Cemetary and to Mt. Vernon. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all the important sites at both. He was an amazing tour guide and we loved every minute! Book a tour with Christopher!

Amazing tour experience - The tour was worth every cent. Not only was our driver, Christopher, punctutional, but also very knowledgeable. He knew the best place to stand at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, so that we were able to see the inspection of the soldier at changing of the guard. He also provided history and information while we were in the car beyond just Arlington and Mount Vernon sights. It was a very hot day and he had water for us, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated. He gave us options at both places to what order to see things in. We would use Perfect Private Tours again, and definitely request Christopher.
