This tour was misleading!!! I paid $350 dollars and the tour guide wasn’t very informative and withheld more personal conversations. I called and spoke to someone about this tour before I paid and I was informed I was meeting up and being transported to all the monuments listed 20 mins each and end at the African Museum for a hour for a tour inside however that did not happen whatsoever. My sons and I otherwise was forced to walk in 90 degree weather only to see two monuments the White House and the Washington Monument. I was told I would receive an $250 dollar refund in regards to this from Nar and Michael by this week. I’m very upset about this tour very disappointed and mislead. This almost ruined my vacation with my kids

Nur was an excellent guide. He was engaging and knowledgeable. Took the time task our children questions. He was also very enthusiastic. We learned a lot. Definitely worth the money.

Our group of 8 family members from Los Angeles and Maryland, took a private tour of the wonderful Washington DC African American Museum of History and Culture on June 30, 2023. Our guide, Nur, was delightful! He arrived right on time, was friendly and down to earth, and knew the Museum and African American history backward and forwards. He had a clear agenda in mind to give us a rich experience in a limited time. Nur was sensitive to the fact that we had 12 year-olds in the group and made sure in advance that it was fine with their parents for him to discuss certain sensitive matters, In addition to being very knowledgeable, Nur was very funny and accommodating to everyone's needs. I highly recommend him as a guide.
