Hello and welcome! I'm Pablo, a licensed Washington, D.C. tour guide, and I’m passionate about sharing the best parts of this incredible city with travelers. Before becoming a guide, I spent over 15 years as an ESL teacher, often taking students and parents on tours of D.C. I still love guiding groups of all ages, and I strive to make my tours unique, with a focus on conversational and entertaining stories rather than just a lecture. My tours are fully customizable, allowing me to adjust the itinerary to match your interests. Come learn a bit of Washington, D.C. history in a relaxed atmosphere, and take home some beautiful memories and photos. - Licensed Washington D.C. Tour Guide Pablo

Explore The Monuments And Memorials On The National Mall
Overview of your Washington Dc tour
On this tour we will see the most famous buildings and monuments of Washington DC. From the Washington Monument you have a clear view of the US Capitol and Smithsonian museums on one side, the World War 2 Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial on the reflecting pool on the opposite side, and the White House almost perpendicular. As we stroll between the monuments you will learn the amazing and often controversial history of the struggle to construct the National Mall and the monuments, which has taken over 200 years to achieve! The tour stops are completely customizable to your interests and preferred pace. Tours can begin in the morning or afternoon. Please dress for the weather, it gets colder beside the river!

We had a great morning walking around Washington with Pablo. Plenty of interesting stories, heaps of great background information for non-Americans like us. Pablo went above and beyond helping us get the perfect Washington Monument photo and helped us book a museum timeslot at the end of our time. As the day progressed, Pablo asked what our preferences were of what to see. He answered all our questions about Washington. A great day and a definite 5 out of 5 experience. Recommended to anyone wanting to get to know the vibe of a city.

Pablo did a fantastic job, this was a private tour, he was flexible with us and what we wanted to see. The pace was great for our group and everyone loved the background history he provided. We would definitely use him again!

We were hosted by Pablo Buendi on a tour of Monuments and Memorials. It was a fantastic walking tour with a lot of insights provided by Pablo. We managed to walk from the Washington Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial and visited all of the monuments and memorials in between including WWII memorial, FDR, Korean War Memorial, Vietnam War Memorial and the DC Police stables. We kept moving and time flew by. I recommend Pablo to any small group that wants to see and learn about US history. Just remember to wear your walking shoes as we managed about 6 miles in our 3 hour tour. Great job, Pablo!
