We are so glad we had the opportunity to join Tim on his walking tour of the monuments. It would be easy to just turn up to the memorials etc, take a few snaps and walk on. But Tim's knowledge and interesting stories add so much more to a trip to DC. We wish we were staying longer to try... More

Went to DC for the first time on the 18th of May. Decided to do the Monumental tour with Tim, which turned out to be the best thing of the weekend. If we had not done this tour, the memorials would of been some chunks of rock, but with the knowledge and stories of each site visited with Tim it... More

We are definitely going to try some of the other tours next time we make it to D.C. Tim was fantastic and I loved the informal nature of this type of tour: no worries about tickets or boarding any kind of transportation on a strict schedule. Highly recommend. I have visited twice but got lots of new knowledge from Tim.... More

This tour (monument tour) was awesome! Tim is very engaging and knowledgeable about the attractions and has a good sense of humor. Our group was about 15 people; Tim was very able to handle that size group and was great with the kids. One bit of advice: if you go on a sunny day, wear LOTS of sunscreen! I would... More

The tour I did today was amazing. Tim is so knowledgeable about the city and monuments. I did the Tidal Basin tour and i can't wait to take the next two tours. I highly recommend this tour to anyone. It is a good amount of walking 2-3 miles so make sure you wear comfortable shoes, bring water, wear sunscreen, and... More

This was a great tour. Tim had a great deal of knowledge and sense of humor. He keeps you engaged the entire time. Even though we both have seen the sights several times, Tim still gave us new information about the people, places, and sites through out the tour. Before you knew it, the tour was over and we just... More

My wife and I are from Brazil and we spent very good time knowing the History of DC (and way not to say, the US History) through Tim's words. He is a fantastic guide: Very didact, interactive and with a great knowledge! We had a complete and different view of the monuments when we saw them with Tim. The 'Why',... More

A BIG thank you to Tim for a fabulous walking tour. The wealth of information Tim has on each monument and memorial made this tour one of the highlights of my trip to DC. If you want to enjoy a tour of any kind, Tim's "Walk of the Town" tour is the one to choose. If you get a chance... More

My husband and I were visiting my daughter. Since she has been living in DC for three years, we had all seen the city before (especially her), but after reading so many great things about this tour, we wanted to see for ourselves what everyone was raving about. Tim was able to provide much more information than we could get... More
