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.

Amanda pitched the tour at exactly the right level for our daughters aged 11 and 14. To be honest, I’ve always been a bit bored at Natural History museums and was taking my children for their benefit, but for the first time found the dinosaurs section absolutely fascinating, thanks to Amanda. She managed to guide us through the highlights of the museum despite being inundated with school excursions and we definitely got a lot more out of it than if we had been going around ourselves.

We had young kids and keeping them amused was a little difficult. But our guide tailored the tour to our needs and addressed them so well. The semi-private tour was as good as private since we were 5 people. 2 hours doesn’t really do justice to this amazing museum, so our guide was selective. He knew answers to our questions and was very patient, which is what we needed. I personally had been there before, but love the rocks, gems and minerals displays so much, I would go back again.

Rebecca was very knowledgeable and approachable. She made sure we got a good overview of the museum while pointing out the highlights of the "bones and stones" exhibits. Glad I took the tour. Money well spent.
