WASHINGTON INSIDER’S GUIDE
Author and veteran journalist Bill Thomas created Private Tours of Washington to provide smart, fun and thoroughly unforgettable tours of the Nation’s Capital.
PTW is a boutique business that delivers an unmatched level of personal attention. We start with taking the time to customize an agenda for the tour you want–not a cookie-cutter substitute. And all of our chauffeured tours are strictly private. We do not combine guests into large groups.
With over 70 years of combined experience our “best-in-the-business” local tour guides have introduced Washington–its fascinating past and present–to diplomats, corporate groups, students and families.
Here for the first time? Our expert guides and black-car service will soon have you feeling like a Washington insider. Coming on a return visit? See the city in a whole new way, exploring its backstories and hidden enclaves. Whatever your schedule, special interest or group size we can help you plan a tour of Washington that’s uniquely your own. Our commitment at Private Tours of Washington has always been to make your time spent with us a one-of-a-kind experience full of “remarkable sights and unparalleled insights.”
