Excellent tour! Our guide Annalyn was friendly and knowledgeable. The museums were great, particularly the Museum of American History. Would definitely recommend

John was a great guide! He wrangled 4 chatty adults and 3 energetic boys through the museums keeping us informed and engaged. If left by ourselves I’m pretty sure we would have missed 90% of what we accomplished with him as our guide. It was fast-paced but not rushed and we felt like we got to experience the best the museums had to offer. Definitely recommend.

Jalisa Carter was personable, extremely knowledgeable & had lots of interesting small facts to impart. She didnt rush us and she added another area to see during the tour of the American History museum because we mentioned it was of interest to us. We would recommend the private tour of the Smithsonian museums.
