Thanks for visiting this page! I'm a former civics and museum educator and own a small tour company here in Washington, DC. I love using this great American city to teach about the built environment and U.S. history; with a focus on narrative storytelling and local DC history. I have twenty years of practice in experiential education and specialize in small group, outdoor walking tours. Typically I host groups sized 10 people or fewer on walking tours. However, if you have a larger group and already have a bus, I can act as a step-on guide. Please message for rates and details. As a full time tour provider, I often work with families, other small businesses, couples, and individuals. Please bring the kids. I write for ages 10 years and up for monument tours, and 12 and up for all others. Come as you are, I'm here to make your trip worthwhile and fun! I look forward to working with you. - Tim District of Columbia Tour Guide License #TGL 12565 Listed tours are walking tours.

Alexandra B.Canada
Do not hesitate to book Timothy for this tour. His knowledge is encyclopedic, and you can tell he is absolutely passionate about history. We enjoyed our tour so much that we booked him again for a Library of Congress tour a couple of days later. We booked our monuments tour for our first morning in Washington, and it was a great way to start our trip and get oriented.

We kicked off our DC trip with this tour and so glad we did! Tim was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and informative. He provided insight and pointed out details that we never would have gleaned on our own. I highly recommend this tour especially for first time visitors.

Timothy was a wealth of knowledge. He answered questions and was just simply informative. He even pivoted the tour when I saw that my littles were getting a bit tired of monuments. It all worked well. Highly recommend.
