I provide specialized insight while arranging customer entry to attractions, military bases, and clubs not normally accessible to the general public. As an eighteen-year resident of the National Capital Region I have studied the history of the area, visited each of its important sites, and discovered extraordinary exhibits, archives, and artifacts not widely known to the public. I'm a twenty-year veteran Navy Officer and graduate of the Marine Corps Command and Staff College. I'm now in my sixth year as a full-time professional guide. I live in Old Town Alexandria, VA with my two pre-teen children. - I have received both doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination - Twenty year Navy Officer - MA Military Studies, Marine Corps Command and Staff College, Quantico, VA, June 2011 - Licensed Tour Guide, District of Columbia - Memberships: DC Guild of Professional Tour Guides Piazza Society, Mt Vernon Ladies Association Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association Association of the United States Army Association of the United States Navy United States Naval Institute Marine Corps University Foundation Visit Alexandria Friends of Carlyle House Gadsby's Tavern Museum Society

Overview of your Washington Dc tour

Join a National Cathedral certified guide on a private tour of Washington's most famous house of worship. This is a classic Washington experience! Begin with a short visit to the grounds by observing damage from the devastating 2011 earthquake in Washington. See the famous flying buttresses of this English gothic church. Next, step inside and experience a breathtaking view of the main nave of the church. Visit most of the individual chapels within the Cathedral including one dedicated to the US Armed Forces. Notables laid to rest at the Cathedral include President and Mrs. Wilson, Admiral George Dewey, Helen Keller, and Matthew Sheppard. As a special treat, we will take the elevator to the Washington National Cathedral Observation Deck for the highest view of Washington City and the surrounding area.
