  • 5/5 Cláudio Antônio Klaus J. 2 years ago on Google • 44 reviews
    I had a fantastic tour with Emilia. She was super knowledgeable of the area and that made all the difference. I enjoyed it very much. The website describes it well, you basically walk around all the monuments and have a nice explanation about each of them. It ends at Lincoln Memorial, a big highlight. Other than the usual historic explanations you may also hear some of the possible theories regarding one thing or another, which I thought added a lot of fun to the tour. I did it on a Monday evening and we had some rain in the first few minutes - Highly recommend it!

    Did the Monuments and Moonlight tour with Eli last night. He had his work cut out for him with 4th of July fencing all along the mall but he navigated us neatly through to the sights. Our two hours went by swiftly and we thoroughly enjoyed the views and historical insights he offered. The pace was comfortable and free time was allotted to explore and take pics at each location. The only caveat is that there is traffic noise (car and air) as well as sirens, etc that may make hearing difficult. If you are in a big group, stay close to the guide.

    I took 2 tours from this company: tour of the National Mall and tour of the Capitol. I loved our guides on both tours Becca and Rebecca! Both were knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend both tours.

    Wow, our first experience with DC By Foot, and what a GREAT experience. Bob was our tour guide, and since this was our first time to Arlington National Cemetery, we wanted to have a good introductory understanding of the history and layout of the cemetery. Bob was fantastic! Leisurely paced, easy to walk, LOTS of historical information and sites, all while maintaining the proper dignity and decorum for such hallowed grounds. Bob is full of knowledge, information, and stories. The tour is appropriate for all ages.

    Our guide Eli was extremely passionate about the stories he was telling us, and his explanations were great. Even on the coldest day he was smiling and giving us the best energy while doing an amazing tour. I definitely recommend this and will do it again next time in DC.

    Great experience. Easy way to explain and understand historical data and monuments. Short tour but enough to get a general overview.

    The best walking tour of the Freedom Trail, hands down! Brian was entertaining and engaging while completely immersing the group is US history! The time flew by too quickly (2+ hours) and left us wanting more! Excellent tour guide!

    My partner and I did the Monuments and Moonlight tour with Boglarka last weekend and had a great time. It was the right amount of walking, information sharing and opportunities to explore the monuments freely. We were both really taken by the Martin Luther King monument and greatly appreciated the in depth context that our guide was able to offer. Thank you!

    We had a great tour this week with Jim! Group was about 20 people (4-5 small groups/families) and he did a great job of sharing some interesting information but balanced with bursts of time to explore each monument/memorial as we wanted and get photos. The kids and adults were both engaged with the tour, and it was one of the highlights of our trip!

    Highlight of the trip! We had Becca and she was great. This was very informative and was a nice easy stroll around the tidal basin to view the cherry blossoms and the monuments in the area. We got very lucky with our timing and got to see most of the cherry blossoms start to bloom.

    Excellent tour by Canden about the historic Georgetown. She was easy to hear and learned so much about the community. We would definitely recommend a tour with them and join them again

    We had great fun on the Georgetown ghost tour led by Clark. It’s a great way to see and learn about the history of Georgetown.

    We did the Historic Georgetown tour with Ingebord today and it was excellent. She had a wealth of knowledge about the area and presented it in a really compelling way. Definitely one of the best walking tours I’ve done.

    Our tour guide, Becca, was fantastic!! She was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. She even helped us with information regarding where we could find our next POI. And even though the blossoms were past their peak,, we still enjoyed the tour because Becca made it fun. Cheers Becca!

    Take a tour! Best Decision You will make. It gives you the Private tour attention and personal touch you wont get with a public tour you find on VIATOR or Tripadvisor. I am a Concierge and I highly reccomend the Moonlight Mall and Arlignton Cemetart Tours!!! Alex and Stephen are the Best professional Guides you will find. Funny too.

    This was the first ghost tours my daughter and I have taken. Not only did we learn about the ghosts that were/are haunting Georgetown, we also learned of the wonderful history of this amazing city. Melissa was so much fun to be with and very (VERY) knowledgeable about the city and the wonderful ghosts that reside there. Although we did not see any spirits, we left knowing that they are in good hands with Melissa and Free Tours by Foot DC. I cannot wait to visit other cities (domestic and international) and take the tours there as well.
