We had a great tour at the American History Museum. Bess, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional, and kept the tour on time. She definitely enhanced our experience at the Smithsonian. I do think the price was a little too steep for the 2.5 hour tour.

Marvelous experience. My wife and I were delighted with the whole tour. It's a real jump back in the past that gives you an overview on American history. It was truly an amazing experience. Highly recommended.
