Invaluable personal tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We heard about and saw exhibits that we chose which made it personal. This experience was invaluable to us. Meg was incredibly knowledgeable and we had wonderful conversations instead of just lectures.

Sean was great!

Shane was Excellent! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable! I would highly recommend this tour company while in DC.

Great tour!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent tour. Well organized. Very informative guide, I would recommend this tour with anyone with limited time in Washington as the Smithsonian is huge so you see a lot of the main exhibits which you would miss on your own. Highly recommend this tour!!

Personable and knowledgeable on the subject matter. Kept us engaged in the discussion of the exhibits. We were able focus on the highlights of each museum. So much research behind display not found in the exhibition.
