Washington Private and Small Group Guided Tours
Once touted as “The American Rome,” the city’s gridded streets are graced by grand facades and animated by the energy of seasoned politicians, bright-eyed students, and everyone in between.
In 1791, a young French architect named Pierre Charles L’Enfant conjured a vision for a new capital city on a spit of swampy land nestled at the confluence of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers. More than 200 years later, the District of Columbia spans 68 square miles and boasts more than 160 monuments and memorials, dozens of museums, libraries, and theaters, and countless festivals and street fairs. Explore the spirit of the capital with Context's Washington DC private tours and Washington DC small group tours.

David was knowledgeable and interesting. He knew a lot of historical stories and details of the architecture and buildings. He kept a manageable walking pace. We really enjoyed it and would definitely get him for another tour.

Katherine was great. She was friendly and informative and loved showing DC to our kids. She had good stories and inside track on some of the sights and knew how to handle the material in an age appropriate manner amongst our spread of ages (14-6).
