What To Expect

Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History

Your guide will take you to visit the highlights of the collection, housed in a massive building that covers the area of 18 football fields. Gaze into the world-famous Hope Diamond, whose brilliant blue sparkle, and immodest size at 46 karats, captured the attention of former owner Marie Antoinette. Wander through the displays of gems and minerals, including the Dom Pedro Aquamarine, the world’s largest gem of its type, which glows brilliantly from within. Travel back in time to learn about death rituals while exploring real mummies from Ancient Egypt. Then step out of the past into the wild, exploring the mighty polar bears, elephants, and giraffes that roam across earth’s surface. From the land, jump into the sea at the Ocean Hall, where you’ll discover a live coral reef exhibit as well as a 45-ton whale, Phoenix, which is a replica of a real living what that the museum tracks. By the end, you’ll understand why so many people come to visit the 126.5 million artefacts housed at the National Museum of Natural History.

Meghan was very well versed in all that she presented. She didn't overstate her knowledge if it wasn't something she knew. Her enthusiam is such an asset! Loving what she does for a living comes through loud and clear. What a blessing!

I am an American father with a Thai son visiting DC for the first time. Multiple tours purchased while in Bangkok. Somehow we were blessed with Meghan for this tour and the Air/SpaceMuseum. My son connected with her, listening to every word of her descriptions. She was excellent in every regard. I have no idea how she kept her energy level so high throughout the tour...Just the best... Thank you for connecting us with her... Jeff Bowden

Donna was a wonderful tour guide! This tour is designed to give you a high level overview of the museum then you can go back and spend more time in the areas you are most interested in. Our group was the perfect size of 4. Donna made it easy to navigate through the huge crowds and away from the wild kids groups. Our first stop was the Hope diamond. We were the only ones around it! I was surprised to see a photography exhibit so Donna made sure I knew how to get back to it after the tour. I expressed my interest in the butterfly exhibit and she made sure to show me where it was and how to get to it. You can do the Smithsonians without a guide but if you want to let someone else figure it out for you, book this tour! Tour tip: Do the first tour of the day! It got wild by 1pm and $TIP$ YOUR GUIDES!
