The explanation of what we were seeing was great and the details it entailed. He provided enough water which was cold so it was perfect for what the weather was like.

Christopher Williams, was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and very courteous. My teenagers learned a lot and they really enjoyed the tour and so did we. I would definitely recommend him to anyone and I would definitely book again. Thanks again Chris!! The Poulard Family

Christopher was a great tour guide. We learned a lot about the Black history of D.C. and the back story behind the creation of the monuments, memorials and the city itself. He also treated us with great care!
