Quotes From Our Travelers
“Thank you American Stories Travel for so many special moments on our DC trip! One of our favorites was our private night tour of the monuments – not only were they a stunning sight – but the guide’s knowledge made us feel like we were walking through the pages of a history book!”

“As a foodie, I was skeptical about DC as a culinary destination. But American Stories Travel totally changed my perception. The private food tour they arranged in Georgetown was like an amazing, flavorful journey through the city’s cultural tapestry. I was tasting DC – not just visiting it!”
2023 - E.C.
“I always thought the Smithsonian Museums were just like any other museums until I did a private tour of several of them that American Stories Travel arranged. I didn’t just walk around aimlessly – I got to hear fascinating insights and little-known stories that made the experience that much more powerful!”
2023 - M.F.
“I was in DC for business during the National Cherry Blossom Festival but had some time to spare. I contacted Beyond Times Square to discuss the best tour to take to see the blossoms and they set up a private pedicab tour for me. It was the perfect choice and my driver was a wealth of knowledge. Highly recommend them!”

“We used American Stories Travel for our family trip to DC. Our Experience Designer was amazing. She basically took care of every detail from pick up at the airport in a private vehicle to a 5-star hotel to tours that were educational and fun for not only the kids – but us as parents as well!”
