Overview

This tour is the ultimate All-American story told through the Smithsonian Museums, in the US capital city of Washington DC, taking you on private tours to both the National Museum of American History and the Museum of Natural History.

Our tour guide was wonderful. We only had one afternoon for sightseeing. I have a person in a wheelchair and would not have been able to see all the highlights and get description and stores of what we saw. She made our experience great. Highly recommend!
