Couldn't think of a better way to spend three hours in DC. We had considered one of the hop on and off tours but so glad we we choose this one instead for our family including two little ones. It was jammed packed with information and lot of the top sites on the Mall. Becca was very knowledgeable and was able to answer every question that was asked during our tour. It was impressive all the information she knew and shared on our tour. We've done similar tours in other cities and it's almost always a highlight of our trip.Lena M. ★★★★★ Wir haben die National Mall & Tidal Basin Tour bei John gemacht und fanden es super. Es war eine kleine Gruppe und John konnte uns sehr viel über die Memorial erzählen. Danke!Peta D. ★★★★★ We recently attending the Moonlight & Memorials walking tour with Cecelia and it was absolutely fantastic.This tour covers such an important and beautiful part of the National Mall and surrounds, but it was Cecelia's passion and knowledge that made this evening so memorable.I have taken many Free Tours by Foot in other states and countries and they are always brilliant. It's a wonderful service and all the guides are amazing.Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge and enabling us to create amazing memories.Vikas C. ★★★★★ The National Mall tour was an enlightening journey through America's rich history and cultural heritage, Each iconic landmark revealing significance and beauty.

I loved our guides on both tours Becca and Rebecca! Both were knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend both tours.Clayton D. ★★★★★ Becca was awesome and knowledgeable. It was a great fun and learning experience doing the National Mall walking tourRegina L. ★★★★★ UPDATED DECEMBER 2021 - THE BEST. After visiting for Easter weekend 2019, I was eager to return for more tours during my Christmas 2021 trip. This tour company is truly THE BEST. I was lucky enough to join 2 tours with Becca - the Arlington National Cemetery Tour and the National Mall and Tidal Basin Tour, as well as 2 tours with Eli - the Downtown Holiday Lights and History Tour and the Ghosts of Georgetown Tour. While the Downtown Holiday Lights and History Tour was a bit lighter on history, the 3 other tours were deep dives. Becca and Eli are both fantastic storytellers. Becca told me that she is a historian and contributes to tour development, and boy, do her knowledge and enthusiasm show. I wish I could have taken even more tours with them for the 5 days that I was in DC, but several of their group tours were cancelled due to the holidays, which is understandable. They try to promptly communicate tour changes. If you're in DC and like history and culture, sign up with them. They're great storytellers who have put a huge amount of effort into creating highly informative and entertaining tours.APRIL 2019 - While visiting Washington, DC, I went on 2 Free Tours by Foot this Saturday - the Historic Georgetown tour with Erin and the Lincoln Assassination tour with Boglarka. Erin is a school teacher and tour guide. Boglarka is a full-time tour guide. Both women were excellent tour guides. They were much more energetic, more insightful, and funnier than a more expensive tour guide I used Friday night.On Friday night, I arrived in DC too late to join a group tour, so I went on a small private tour that included car service. This private tour was fine and very convenient, but nothing special, especially for the price. On Saturday, my schedule allowed me to fit in 2 Free Tours by Foot, and those are the tours I loved and will remember for years to come.I will seek out Free Tours by Foot the next time I'm in DC or in any of the other cities they cover. The tour guides are excellent. You get a little exercise by walking. And you pay what you feel is fair. The tour guides don't pressure you to over-pay. But they're so good, you'll want to thank them and pay for their time. Book early and go!! Highly recommend!!!Laura C. ★★★★★ We had a great time on the "National Mall" DC by foot tour on Sat 18th Dec. Expertly led by our tour guide Eli who was very knowledgeable, engaging and undeterred by the changeable weather. Also very well organised with meeting instructions sent in advance. Highly recommend for those who like exploring on foot!Amelia V. ★★★★★ My daughter and I loved our tour from Stephen of the National Mall. We learned so many fascinating details—we felt lucky to have him as a guide.Galit M. ★★★★★ We took 2 tours.The first one was with Becca- a 3 hour tour of all the major monuments of the National Mall. We had a great time on this tour! We really enjoyed Becca's explanations about each monument. She was very informative and thanks to her we decided to take another tour.We wanted to do a walking tour in George town but there wasn't one onthe only date we could have it. I emailed the company and they pretty quickly organized a tour for us (they open a tour if they can to a minimum of 3 people and we were 3) so eventually we were 4 people in the tour. Our tour guide Ingeborg was very knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting stories and anecdotes both as a professional tour guide and as a native resident of the place who grew up there. She answered patiently and thoroughly all of our questions. We really enjoyed both of the tours and learned a lot.
