This walking tour of DC monuments and memorials was the best thing we did on our trip to DC. Tim Stewart is very knowledgeable and engaging. I have visited the memorials many times before, but I learned so much more through Tim's commentary. He doesn't charge a fee to join his tour, but we felt compelled to pay him well... More

I have only been once to Washington D.C. I saw many attractions during the day. However, in the evening I attended a walking tour given by Tim Stewart. This was the best part of the entire day. It was a 3 hour tour called Walk of the town. We saw all the important monuments. Furthermore the best part was Tim... More

Tim's Saturday evening walking tour of the DC Monuments was absolutely the highlight of our weekend in DC. He is extremely knowledgeable, even more personable,and wonderfully passionate about his subject matter. Tim spent a full four hours with us, not a moment of it wasted. Flawless delivery, laced with fascinating historical and architectural details, humorous anecdotes, and occasional pertinent references... More

Found this first on TripAdvisor. So glad we could take this tour with Tim. He is a passionate guide! He is very accommodating to his guests. Details, facts and interesting stories. I had visited all these sites previously. On this tour I "experienced" them in a memorable way. Three and a half hours - thank you Tim for such a... More

Tim is a very pleasant and knowledgeable guy. What a great personality! We took the Friday tour that took almost four hours, but Tim kept it interesting and fun the whole time. Please note that if you are taking the 10 AM tour, it is a good idea to bring snacks with you since you'll be walking at around lunch... More

This was a 4 hour walk guided by Tim at a very comfortable pace. Tim's knowledge was extensive and he brought the various memorials to life and gave a good understanding of the thinking and concepts behind them. This was our introduction to Washington the morning after we arrived and we were very pleased to have taken the tour which... More

Unquestionably the most exciting way to take in the sites of Washington DC. Tim kept us enthralled and entertained from the first step we took. His knowledge is astounding and his ability to weave history together with the sights we visited is nothing short of spectacular. Tim regaled us with stories and anecdotes that would surely not be as easily... More

Our family of five took the Saturday Night Twilight Tour on May 4th...what a great decision! The tour actually lasted nearly 4 hours but it was interesting the entire time. We have been to DC on many occasions, but Tim brought the history and stories of the monuments (and people for whom they were erected) come to life. This was... More

My husband and I got so much more out of seeing the monuments with Tim than if we would have viewed them on our own. We were fortunate to have a pleasant sunny day ( the only one we had during our visit). He was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We took 4hours on our tour and I was fascinated... More

Had one day in Washington and did this tour with Tim. It took four hours and gave us a really good insight into Washington history. Tim's enthusiasm was infectious. If you go to Washington DO NOT miss this!!
