Great Private Tour

A big thank you to Alan for delivering an unforgettable personal tour around Washington for myself and my husband. We were grateful to him for his detailed and in-depth knowledge, not just of Washington but of the US more generally, which we enjoyed learning about. We were very lucky with fabulous sunshine and so got to see Washington in all it's glory. The fact that we were able to cutomise our tour with Alan was really great and the informal, friendly nature of how he showed us round made for a really enjoyable experience. If you're thinking of seeing the sights in Washington and learning more about this fascinating place, then we highly recommend Alan and this superb tour.

Best Tour Guide

At first, I was a little worried my teenage son would be bored but Alan did a great job in entertaining him with quizzes and shared secrets of the tour. Alan is one of the best guides we have ever encountered - full of knowledge!

Best Tour Guide Company

We only had two days to spend in DC, so we wanted a tour that would show us all of the highlights that we should. This tour let us personalize our tour to things we did and didn’t want to see and also gave us recommendations on what would be the best use of our time. We took on DC with a ten year old and a 14 month old. Alan, our tour guide was fantastic! He was a fountain of knowledge and made things even more fun and interesting for our ten year old. He picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. It was all so easy and the best decision we made for our trip! Highly recommend!

Wonderful

Alan is THE best. Contacts you personally to discuss your thoughts and ideas to help you make the most of your day. Family of 9 for a full day tour in Washington on October 3. We had a nice van with plenty of room for our group. Pick up and drop off at our hotel. We were there for a funeral at Arlington. Get ready to have your knowledge of DC tested by the trivia master. We thought we were on Cash Cab! Everything we asked for and more. Tells you small details that other guides most likely would not know. We were looking for a place for dinner on short notice to accommodate 19 people. Alan called a friend in the restaurant business and suddenly we had dinner reservations in Georgetown at an Italian restaurant, Flavio. Food was delicious. Many thanks Alan.

Best Tour Guide EVER!

Best tour guide ever. Allowed our puppy to come along, and Alan even supplied water and a puppy dish. Alan accommodated our every need dealing with two of us having physical walking issues. Alan's knowledge is second to none. He made our tour match our needs not his. Highly recommend Alan and plan on bringing our family again soon.

That's How It Should Be

Alan simply is what you want to have as a tour guide… dedicated, passionate, empathetic, and eager to not only tell but also to listen and learn.

Tour of Washington

Alan was awesome. Contacted us prior to tour to determine our interest and plan a personalized tour. We learned so many interesting facts about the US Capitol building, White House, WWII Memorial, and more.

Greatest Time Ever

On August 6, 2023, our group had the best time with a tour guide you could ever ask for. Alan picked us up at 9 AM and took us all over Washington DC. We could not do a lot of the walking around, but he worked around that, and we saw so much. Alan was so knowledgeable, and he kept us involved with pop quizzes. We went to so many places and monuments including Arlington National Cemetery for the Changing of the Guard. He then took us back to our hotel and came back at 7:30 PM for a night tour. The night tour was a little rainy, but we still had a great time. Alan took us to the Vietnam wall and helped us find the names of several people that were my husband’s friends. There isn’t a better tour guide out there. We had the greatest time ever. We hated to say goodbye. Alan is fantastic. 5 Stars all the way.

Awesome Tour with Alan!

This was an amazing trip with Alan. He is very knowledgeable about the history and area and will tell you everything you need to know about your trip. Unfortunately, we could not visit Arlington due to the severe weather that hit a few days before, he called me the day before we were supposed to do the tour and came up with an awesome alternative to the Air & Space Museum at Dulles Airport. Great experience!

Best Private DC Tour

I highly recommend this tour. First of all the vehicle was so comfy and cool for our party of 8 including our guide Alan. The amount of information this man knows and shares is simply incredible and very entertaining and it is what makes this tour sooo good. He was wonderful with my grandkids ages 7, 8 and 11. He asked them questions and kept them involved in the tour. He gave them stars at the end of our tour. My husband and I both had recent surgeries so we weren’t as physically capable to do all of the walking needed in the tour but he accommodated us with drop offs and pick ups to eliminate some of the walking and adapted some other parts of the tour as well. With temperatures that reached 100 degrees the cold water he supplied in a backpack cooler he carried certainly was a life saver. I really can’t imagine a better tour. Alan is very very good at his job. Thank you Alan for such a memorable day.

Beyond Expectations

We booked Alan as our tour guide throughout DC. Alan’s level of experience and trivia was absolutely incredible. He tailored an experience we will never forget. We had four generations traveling in July heat and he went above and beyond to make the trip memorable.

Alan’s Tour – Full of fun and knowledge!

Alan is the best tour guide we’ve ever had! As soon as we booked the tour, he called so we could discuss the agenda. He made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. He is extremely knowledgeable about Washington’s history! Alan told us so much more than the Capitol tour guides and shared with us all the little secrets! I love that he created an environment that kept my kids engaged! We had so much fun with the trivia and making it a contest. My family and I learned so much about Washington’s history from Alan. I can’t thank you enough Alan and can’t wait to book my next tour with you when we go to New York!!! 5 stars!

The best part of our DC visit.

This was the best part of our trip to DC. Alan contacted us days before the trip to plan out the tour. We had a good discussion of what we wanted to see, his suggestions and how much time each part would take. We worked out a very good plan. We then had a very full and busy day. Alan made everything convenient as well as adding greatly to the experience with his knowledge. He even gave us guidance on what to see in subsequent days on our own. It was all great fun and very convenient. It was well worth the money, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Engaging and Intriguing Story Telling

We recently traveled to Washington D.C. for a family funeral.  We had limited time to spend, but wanted to see as much as we could in a short time. We were so lucky to have been recommended to our Concierge Tour Guide, Alan. He was a-mazing! Without Alan’s guidance, we would never have been able to see as much as we did.  On top of that, Alan’s knowledge of U.S. History is incredible, and he conveys this thru engaging and intriguing story telling. Our family learned a great deal from Alan and are grateful for the memories that were created. What is even better, we didn’t stop learning when we were done with the tour.  Alan's love of history is contagious, and we were all interested in learning more when we got back home. Hands down, this was well worth it! Highly recommend!

A Washington, D.C. Tour to Remember with Alan

Our family recently booked a private tour in Washington, D.C. Alan was our tour guide, and he was fantastic! He was so incredibly knowledgeable on American history, especially President Lincoln. Alan worked with us prior to our tour to customize it to our wants/needs. Alan also gave us some great tips for the remainder of our trip, which we greatly appreciated. Alan was able to answer our questions and nothing felt rushed. He was so patient with our young children and was very good at engaging both of them throughout the tour. They haven’t stopped telling their friends about Mr. Alan. We highly recommend Alan for you Washington, D.C. tour needs.

Grob Family - Orlando, Florida

More than we asked for

Alan absolutely MADE our trip to Washington DC. We booked the full day tour, and it was well worth it!! He was so so so knowledgeable (I feel like I owe an apology to my 6th grade history teacher after re-learning history with Alan). He was also entertaining and engaging with my 7 yo even though it was a long, hot day! Best part was that my husband and I were able to check things off our bucket list that we didn’t even know were there. We saw and experienced things that were moving and truly amazing. Sure, you can go to these places on your own, but you won’t have Alan’s expertise, stories, and information. That is what you are paying for, and it was well worth it. Thanks again Alan! Can you travel with us on our next vacation?

Saw friend's pictures and had to have Alan

I reached out to Alan about doing a DC tour for our family of 4 (9 and 10 year old boys) after seeing pictures of a friend’s tour with him that looked amazing. We were blown away by the experience. Alan and I texted and spoke to plan the tour– having grown up in the DC area, I had a good idea of what I wanted to see but for once, I didn’t want to be responsible for planning, driving, being the tour guide, and generally being in charge. Alan took our input, added in some great ideas, and even knew of the perfect pizza lunch stop by Ford’s Theater. We all learned something new and he gave me a day where I could relax and be along for the ride. The kids loved him and stayed engaged. There is truly no better way to explore DC. Thank you so much, Alan!

An Unforgettable, Tailored Exploration with Alan in DC

My teenage son and I had an incredibly enlightening and enjoyable experience on our recent private tour with Alan in Washington DC. From the moment we began planning our excursion, Alan’s excellent communication skills were apparent. He thoroughly listened to our interests and tailored an itinerary to match. He adeptly avoided the typical tour guide pitfall of being a droning lecturer; instead, he was engaging, knowledgeable, and had a knack for presenting information in a way that kept us both captivated throughout the tour. Alan’s ability to adjust the itinerary on the fly to ensure we were always at the right place at the right pace was commendable. This made our trip less about ticking off a checklist of sights and more about enjoying and understanding each attraction in depth. Not only did he cover the highlights of the city, but he also managed to weave in lesser-known facts and figures that enriched our experience. The tour was an enjoyable mix of education, exploration, and bonding for my son and me. In Alan, we didn’t just find a tour guide, but a story-teller and a passionate ambassador of Washington DC.

Alan: A Planning Mom's Secret Tool to an Extraordinary Trip

Alan was a wonderful storyteller with vast historical knowledge. He was entertaining and charismatic. He did an incredible job building the schedule and securing the logistics of parking, ticketing, etc. taking the pressure off of the family so that we could see as much as we possibly could in the limited amount of time that we had in DC. By far one of our most treasured experiences and we owe that to the special talent shared to us by Alan.

Prayers were answered

Our family toured D.C for four full days with Alan from concierge tours. Alan is nothing short of excellent and we all had a great time. We learned a ton. He knows every little detail and takes you into history like he was there. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, never made us feel rushed and worked very long days to ensure we didn’t miss out. Thank you, Alan we hope to have an opportunity, to utilize you in the future.

Best Way To See DC

If you are coming to DC, book this private tour!! It’s absolutely worth the money. It was hands down the best way to see the sites. Alan was very informative, helpful and made things so much more relaxing. He called me beforehand to find out what we wanted to see and made a detailed itinerary for the day. We had great communication the entire time. I wish we booked him for more than one day. The sites were great but what made this trip even better was Alan’s knowledge, humor and making it easy for us to get around!

Perfectly tailored tour

Grandparents, parents and two granddaughters all had such a great time with Alan as we toured DC. Alan’s wit and knowledge made for a fascinating day. The granddaughters enjoyed the trivia and pop quizzes throughout our tour. Alan was so good to accommodate our group…..excellent parking to minimize walking for the grandparents…and well-timed restroom visits. We were moved as we visited the monuments as Alan’s stories and info brought everything to life for us. I would do this tour again any time we were in DC!! Thanks for a wonderful memory, Alan!

Our personal tour guide, Alan, did an amazing job of sharing his history and knowledge of the Washington DC area with our group. He was very enthusiastic and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our day and look forward to our next opportunity to meet with him. We will be referring him to others! Thanks again, Alan, for an awesome day! Please come to Texas for a visit and allow us to share some of our hospitality with you and your family.

Chapter 2

A second wonderful adventure in DC with Alan Feldman of DC Concierge Tours! As so many places were closed during our 2021 visit, we just had to hire Alan as our guide for our return visit. During our 3 day adventure we visited the Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Washington Monument, Arlington Cemetery, Jefferson’s Monticello, the National Archives, Georgetown, and Martin’s Tavern, where we sat in the booth where JFK proposed to Jackie. It was especially moving to see the original Declaration and Constitution, which are fading with age. Alan also kindly took us back to Arlington to visit the grave of a dear, departed friend, an Army veteran buried there. Alan’s deep love of history is very evident in his breadth and depth of knowledge of the people and places that influenced the beginning of our country and continue to influence them to this day. A gracious and entertaining host, Alan tells “stories” rather than lectures, so you are engaged the entire tour. He also knows the best places to lunch. Rather than a cookie cutter tour, Alan customizes so you see what you want to see. With Alan, there are no worries about transportation, parking, where to eat, and he gets tickets to most venues. Sadly, we could not visit the White House, as you must contact your Congressman or Senator for tickets, which go quickly. As Senior Citizens, we appreciate Alan’s adjusting the tour to our needs. We highly recommend DC Concierge Tours. We may adopt him!

Should have booked more time!

Alan was wonderful! We had a great trip to DC but the day we spent with Alan was by far our favorite. He made everything completely stress free for us so we could just enjoy and take it all in. Even during times where we were waiting to go into Ford’s Theater, walking between monuments, or walking around Arlington Cemetery, he excitedly chatted with us the entire time telling us the backstories and history of all that was around us. We could tell he genuinely loves the history of DC and was just as enthusiastic talking to us about all the stories as if it was his first time sharing (even though I know he does this all the time!). We hung on his every word all day! We definitely missed him the next couple of days exploring on our own. We plan to call him the next time we are in town and have him show us more historic places. So blessed to have met Alan and spend a day in DC with him!

Our new family friend

The Simmons want to thank you for making our trip to DC so amazing. I was a bit nervous getting a tour guide for two days. You never know if they’ll be knowledgeable, have a good personality and keep the kids engaged. If I had known how great the tours were, I would have booked more days! We loved that you talked to the kids and got them involved. I’m sure you could tell the competition between William and Ella to get the right answer. Your inside history made the trip fun, like the number of columns on Lincoln Memorial (36), the unnamed fountain outside the White House for Mr. Butt who died on the Titanic and the height of Washington Memorial (555’ 5” 1/8). Thank you for taking all the pictures to capture our family. I can see one of them being a Christmas Card. But most of all thank you being so fun, friendly and kind. Your tour really made it real for the kids. They got to see and learn so much. I know our travel agent will be referring her clients to you and I will be singing your praises to my family and friends. Don’t be surprised if you see the Simmons again. Thanks so very much!

Historically Epic DC-Area- Highlights Tour!

Alan went above and beyond to share the very best of the DC area with our family. It was not, however, just a “highlights reel” tour. Instead, Alan helped us revisit all the history lessons of our past and shared tons of interesting stories and anecdotes we had not heard before. Alan’s genuine enthusiasm for exploring our nation’s rich history was truly inspiring. He kept us on our toes with “pop quiz” questions, and we were happily exhausted and full of new information, fun stories, and happy memories by the end of the day!

Alan Feldman is the best tour guide ever

Alan Feldman was our fantastic tour guide! First of all, I just want to say, this guy is absolutely amazing!!! Alan is not your ordinary boring tour guide. Alan is knowledgeable about all of the monuments and sites we visited and is a wonderful storyteller! I could listen to him talk all day! Alan has a genuinely caring personality and was very accommodating to everything we wanted to see and do. I felt like I had known him all of my life! After touring the monuments, he would walk back to the car and drive back to pick us up so we didn’t have to walk so far. I loved the fact that we could tailor our tour to the sites we were interested in seeing. Alan made our tour exciting and memorable! Thank you, Alan!

5 Stars

Our tour with Alan was nothing short of spectacular. Alan is very knowledgeable, professional, engaging and patient. He kept in touch with me prior to the tour, helped me plan the day to pack in everything we wanted to see, and let me know when to expect him to arrive at the hotel. He was willing to go at our pace and answered all of our questions thoroughly. Alan was successful at keeping my six and ten year old kids entertained the entire day and he kept the history he taught so interesting that they are both still reciting the facts they learned. In the words of my kids, this is a five star tour, no doubt about it. Thank you again for showing us a great time in DC!

Fabulous Tour

Our family toured Arlington and D.C. historical sites with Alan at Concierge Tours last week. He was very personable, knowledgeable and flexible – customizing our tour to incorporate our special interests. (Ford’s Theater and Petersen House). Alan always put forth an extra effort to put us in the best possible position/location to enjoy each site. His expertise was especially valuable in touring Arlington. Alan knows the location and history behind many famous graves and planned our tour to include excellent viewing of The Changing of the Guard and wreath laying ceremonies. Everywhere we went Alan was able to point out surprising details not known to most. Our tour was worth every penny, and we can’t recommend Alan highly enough!

Delightful Personalized Tour

We had a wonderful full day tour with Alan! He was great to work with to put together an itinerary to include what we wanted to see. Our family of 4 with two teen boys (15 & 18) spent the day seeing the National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery and Mount Vernon. Alan kept us entertained along the way with trivia questions and shared SO much knowledge! We all learned something new. Another perk was that Alan took photos for us as well. I loved being able to have pictures with all of us in them. Very impressed with his knowledge and helpfulness along the way, he even offered advice for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend booking a tour with him!!

First Review

We took our granddaughter to Washington, DC for her 10th birthday. I scheduled Alan the week before we arrived, and Alan contacted us before we left to coordinate with our expectations. Alan met them and beyond. Our granddaughter Eloise gave Alan a 12 on a scale of 1 – 10. All throughout our tour, Alan kept her engaged all the time with questions and trivia. We laughed and learned the entire day. We will be coming back with our grandson next year and can’t wait to see what Alan has in store for us. On a sidenote, this is the first time I’ve written a review for anything or anyone! Eloise is still talking about how much fun she had with you. Thank you so much for taking some of the pressure of the trip from Oma and Papa. We will contact you this fall for our trip next year.

So Accommodating

Our family of five, with children ages 22, 16, 11, LOVED our tour with Alan! It was the highlight of our DC trip. We spent a full day with Alan, and he took us to The Capitol, The National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery and the National Monuments. (Alan ended up spending extra time with us so we could get through our whole itinerary). I don’t think we would have had the steam to soldier through without Alan’s guidance, his stories and fun pop quizzes to keep us going. We were able to see so much in one day! I really appreciated the time he spent on the phone with me before our trip helping us come up with the right itinerary for our group. Also, what a treat for him to pick us up at our Airbnb and to be driven to the sites–not having to worry about traffic and parking, all while being entertained by his stories! Alan even took extra time to bring us back to our Airbnb in the middle of the day when we found out we had to move our rental car urgently. We would do this again in a heartbeat! Thank you, Alan!! –The House Family, Minneapolis, MN

We are so impressed and thankful that we covered all of Washington DC with Alan. He was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He knew every little detail about the monuments, Arlington National Cemetery, The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Mount Vernon, Ford’s Theatre, National Archives, US Congress, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln etc. We spent two full days with Alan and his company, Concierge Tours and we highly recommend Alan if you want to see all that Washington has to offer.

Spectacular Tour

Alan was truly amazing. Our family of four planned our first trip to Washington, D.C. We wanted to avoid the hassle of finding everything ourselves, navigating traffic, parking and finding information on each place we wanted to go. Alan saw to all of this flawlessly while at the same time providing detailed history and stories we never knew about each site and with a great sense of humor the whole day. Alan provided the best feature of all as he also served as our photographer for the day. Each picture has my whole family in them! Alan took pictures at each location and sent them to me in real time. Having pictures without one of us missing was really nice! I would 110% recommend Alan and Concierge Tours!!
