Had the most amazing guided tour with Rob today. He’s totally awesome! I very highly recommend to book his guided tour today. This is my first visit in DC and he’s my first guided tour. What a wonderful beginning
I think the secret is out about Washington, DC! People are figuring out we have great restaurants with a multicultural food scene, lots of day and night entertainment and sports, historical sites, hip walkable neighborhoods, mostly nearly all free museums and zoo to suit adults and kids alike, and an awesome mass transit system! Easy day trips to the shore or to the mountains. So I predict we will see more tourism in DC during busy times, and even off-season. 🤩
Hi, firstly I need to say thanks for short to the point Info. We are 2 families of 4 visting DC in July. Unfortunately only for 2 days. Arriving by Amtrack. Would you recommend a walking guided tour for the one day as we would like to do the air ans space museum in Virginia the next day before leaving back to NY the evening. Ps. We are from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦 Love your channel, keep up the good work!
Super stressed about our upcoming trip in March with Twin Toddlers! 😅 Your tours are booked up but the videos are a great help! We are tagging along for a business conference that will be in National harbor. We have opted to rent a car since we will have two car seats but plan to park at the metro station on the green line at Branch ave. So we don’t drive in town.
Coming 3/10 to 3/15. It’s our kiddos 10th birthday and this trip is the gift. I’ve been reviewing your videos for the past 6 months. You’re extremely helpful and captivating with how you present the info so thanks after watching tons of your videos. The one thing I’m most nervous about is we got a confirmation to tour the White House at 11am but our flight from DCA doesn’t come in until 9am. Already told the hotel we’re dropping off all bags and it’s about an 8 minute drive away. Should we get a ride share or will traffic be crazy?
Hello! My family will be visiting DC for the first time this month. One thing we’ve wondered is, are water bottles and backpacks allowed in museums? We’ve watched several of your videos and they’ve been helpful!
as a dc resident, especially during the time of year where tourist crowds are heavy i find carrying cash to be a little stressful, plus someone may try and steal it if you have it out. many places offer electronic pay options which many people tend to prefer, but it's up to you.
Having recently been to DC Thanksgiving week, it felt like something was missing. I firmly believe that the people make the city, and DC wouldn’t be DC without the crowds. I really would like to experience the city with more people in it. Keep in mind this is the perspective of someone who cannot see the sights from a visual standpoint.
What is the tourism scene like in October? Planning on taking a week long trip from Texas, but I’m just not a big fan of large crowds (thanks anxiety and agoraphobia). Of course I know there will always be “a lot” of people but is it as busy then as it is in April?
Flying back into D.C. on my 48th trip. I wonder if I'm still a "tourist" or not. I also have business interests there now as well and life long friends. I love staying in Crystal City. So much quieter than the city.
hi Rob, thanks for your videos! very informative. Can you give us more tips on parking or best to do with our vehicle? We're travelling in a few days with two young kids. Thanks again.
We are going mid April (didn't realize that was peak Cherry Blossom season hahaha when I booked last July)! Where are some good neighborhoods for shopping? We are thinking local places, nice walking neighborhoods (Georgetown maybe?).
Thanks for these helpful information. I've watched a lot of clips from your channel to prepare for my trip next month. I have some questions that I feel a very few people wear dresses to the festival. Is it very cold in mid april? In addition, I have only 1 day to visit, I plan to spend 5 hours around the Tidal Basin and move to the other places such as the U.S. Capitol. Is one day slightly enough to see some most attraction places in general? Thanks again!
We have a noon White House tour in the first week of March. Should we drive and pay for parking (staying in Barracks Row area) so we have a place to leave our stuff? If we take the metro what do we do with everything (stroller, backpacks, etc)? Traveling with a 7month old, 8 yo, and two 11yos. Thanks!
I'll be traveling to DC in November. Visiting FedEx Field and Capital One Arena. I saw that u made some vids about Baseball but not NFL/NHL/NBA. Anything planned or can u share your personal experiences of visiting FedEx Field or Capital One Arena?
I will be there mid April. I wanted to save a bit of money and went with Hotel Harrington. Have you heard about anyones experiences with staying there? I also requested I think 4 of the tours that you have to go through Congress to get. White House, FBI, Congress and Engraving.

With only 2 days you need to maximize your time as best as possible so yes, a guided tour will be your best option.
Thanks for such a great video!
Glad you liked it!

Good plan! You can send a message through the website with your trip dates if you want me to add you to the waitlist for a tour.
My husband, son, and I are coming March 30th thru April 2nd, 2023!
Have fun!

What are the best all you can eat option restaurants (excluding Chinese), are there any all you can eat Sushi? or something else interesting?
Headed next week 5/30-6/2. Any specific you would suggest for teens and tweens? Thank you
I am planning to go to DC next weekend. What event would you recommend us?
Rob, how about a short on using cash vs. electronic forms of payment in DC. Thanks!

One day is definitely not enough time to see DC. You need to pick exactly what you want to see and focus on that. April is typically jacket weather.
Wharf phase 2 is a great extension. It is a great place already
What's your favorite new spot there?
@@TripHacksDC haven't tried the food places. But it looks clean and fancy and I enjoy strolling there. They put some nice architecture as well!

I will be there mid April. I wanted to save a bit of money and went with Hotel Harrington. Have you heard about anyones experiences with staying there? I also requested I think 4 of the tours that you have to go through Congress to get. White House, FBI, Congress and Engraving.
It's an old hotel. No frills. Excellent location though.
I’m flying to DC today and stay at Hotel Harrington. I’ll let you know
Decor is dated, but the room is clean. I have a fridge, microwave and kettle in my room. Location is great- bring very comfortable shoes.
@@pipsjarvis9402 Dude thank you for the update. Its a place to sleep is what matters.
