DC AMAZING PRIVATE TOUR - The experience with Journal Tour and Travels was amazing from booking until end of tour. Heidy was extremely helpful during the entire booking process. She was very prompt in responses to every question I had. Communication was absolutely top notch!! The tour itself was also impressive. The vehicle was comfortable for the ten adults on this tour. Jack, our guide, was prompt on arrival at our pick up point. Our first stop was at Arlington Cemetery. Jack walked with us and explained many things as he guided us to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. We were able to see the Changing of the Guard well as the Kennedy gravesite. We explored Arlington at our own pace and didn’t have to feel rushed. Jack also was able to customize our tour so we were not revisiting monuments that we had already been to. His knowledge of DC was impressive and a great learning experience for us all. I highly recommend this Private Tour as well as Journal Tours and Trav. Thank you Heidy and Jack!!

Enthusiastic, engaging with the kids, never rushed, and great and getting us the best experience, our tour with Frank and Journal Tour and Travels was hands down the highlight of our last minute trip to DC. Thanks Frank! We learned a lot, saw a lot, and enjoyed on time with you.

Great way to tour DC - Overall, we had a really awesome tour. Our guide Jack did a great job explaining the history as he drove us throughout the city. He strategically maneuvered between our stops, making sure to place us in the best possible position to easily access the monuments. He also walked with us at Arlington, and placed us in a good standing position to observe the changing of the guard. I highly recommend this tour, worth all five stars!
