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. All of our chauffeured tours are strictly private, with each itinerary customized to our guests’ interests and preferences.

With decades of collective experience our “best-in-the-business” local tour guides bring Washington–its fascinating past and present–to life.

Here for the first time? Feel like a Washington insider. Returning? See the city in a whole new way, through its backstories and hidden enclaves. Our commitment has always been to make your time spent with us a one-of-a-kind experience full of “remarkable sights and unparalleled insights.”
