What a brilliant day we had touring DC with Christiopher, our knowledgeable, efficient and fun tour guide! Christopher, a History major from the University of Maryland took us everywhere we wanted to go, and more. His detailed knowledge of American History perfectly punctuated our stops at the White House, the Capitol Building, the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Jefferson, Lincoln, and Luther King Jnr Memorials as well as the Washington Monument and Arlington Cemetery. Christopher fed us incredibly well on the day, providing us with all inclusive stops for refreshment: a bakery for bagels and coffee for breakfast and lunch fuel at a well-supplied food court. On top of these already generous and thoughtful inclusions, Christopher happily made extra stops throughout the day, taking us back to our hotel via the Georgetown district for interests sake and accommodating our needs for restrooms and coffee where needed. This was a day to remember, made especially so by Christopher’s personal connections at each stop on our tour which enabled him to take us to the front of every queue, eradicating pointless waiting from our day altogether. Finally, Christopher’s kind-hearted people skills and willingness to engage our children’s questions in age-appropriate ways made it a terrific day for them, not just us, their parents. A truly wonderful experience of DC and a highlight of our entire 5 week tour of the USA.
