We had a fabulous time on our tour. Christopher has a great personality, is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Washington, the African American history as well as the history of the United States. His car was spotless, and he is an excellent driver. We enjoyed spending the day with him and I would recommend taking his tour.

Wonderful experience with Chris, a D.C. native with a deep knowledge of area history and a keen sense for complex historical anecdote. Also his jokes are good. Skipping the line at the African-American History museum is priceless and the additional sites that Chris includes on the tour are meaningful and probably impossible to visit in so little time without a chauffeured vehicle. You won’t look at some of the monuments the same way after visiting the museum. We are thinking of taking the tour again when our child is older.
