Washington Highlights Private Tour with Car Service

Let me show you around my city! As a Certified Master Guide, I'm not only experienced guiding adults, families and students, but also a 40 year resident of Washington. My husband grew up in the city as did my children. I love living in DC and sharing my love of it with others. My goal is always to share the importance of the memorial/sight as well stories about its history, its role in the DC and other interesting anecdotes. I also emphasize the history of the Federal City (how through compromise Washington, DC got to be where and what it is). I love guiding through the popular memorials as well as the more unusual ones. My interests also include the Washington DC Theater scene and our sport teams. While I have specific tours listed, my real specialty is developing tailored tours to meet the specific needs/interests of my clients. There are so many possible places to see and experience in DC. I will plan and execute a day that you will find truly memorable. I am also active in fostering the professionalization of tour guiding and the education and development of tour guides in order to ensure guests receive the value they deserve. Accordingly, I am a past president and board member of the National Association of Tourist Guide Associations-USA (NFTGA) and a former board member of the Guild of Professional Tour Guides of Washington DC. I was proud to receive the 2024 Jill Blackman Leadership Award honoring those whose work best exemplifies the spirit of the Guild; who has made an original and significant contribution to the operations of the Guild; and who has advanced the guiding profession in some significant way.
