I had an amazing experience with KB Tours. So, I did this tour solo, in the heart of winter, and the group was pretty small (most likely due to the cold). Kenny, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about African American history and the history of Washington, DC. He was very accomodating and considerate of the weather - this is particularly important for us coastal folks used to mild temperatures. He was punctual, very communicative, highly responsive, funny, down-to-earth, just all-around pleasant to have as a guide. The tour van was sleek, clean, and a very comfortable ride. The sites we stopped at were relevant and meaningful - there was plenty of time to chat and get all the photos I wanted (except I was with an amazing group wish I got a photo of all of us - my only regret, so as a suggestion, make sure you make a point to do that on one of your stops). I also learned a lot at the Frederick Douglas house, that alone was a really enriching tour made me want to stay longer to explore more things, i.e. Harpers Ferry. Honestly, I'd say I got more than I paid for, I recommend this tour 100%.

It was above and beyond anything I could have imagined for my first visit to DC as I experienced the sights. The detailed retelling of the city's history and intricate placement of the route really was well worth the adventure.
