Overall the day was amazing and I would recommend this trip to any future AP World students or non AP students just to go visit the national art museum, the African American Museum and also the national archives museum. It was fun to learn about US history and expression through art and through artifacts. I would rate the whole day a 10/10 as it was the best field trip I have ever had. I can not wait to go back again to DC to see the museums again.

Good commentary. Great use of time. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend. We stayed in the city for 2 days. This guided tour was very efficient is covering the must see spots on day 1 and helped in planning out our second day as well.

DC can be overwhelming with all the big museums, it can be tough to know where to start. We are glad our tour helped plan out the rest of your trip and gave you a good understanding of our city. Please reach out to us with questions or check our travel guides on our instagram @usaguidedtours.

Both Jon and Yousuf were great on the trip and made every effort to make the trip as comfortable as possible. Jon was very knowledgeable and entertaining. So I definitely commend him for his knowledge. However, personally I found the trip rather glorifying war too much especially when the world needs peace. Just not meant for me. Disappointed with the lunch stopover too as the food court was too crowded and not much choices eg restaurants

Response from Host

Thanks for the feedback about lunch. The Pentagon food Court is quite busy because ultimately there are not many food courts like this in town that can accommodate tour vehicles so many operators do the same thing. Would you have better enjoy catered lunch at a specific place that was less busy or would the crowd be ok if there were more options? Thanks for taking the time, we are always looking to improve. Be sure to share your memories with us on social media @usaguidedtours!
