We did a lot of fantastic/impactful things in DC that left an impression (National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, National Mall, monuments, Museum of Illusions, Holocaust Museum, African American Museum, Natural History Museum, etc), and our entire family agreed their favorite part of the trip was the Walk/Talk by Lindsey on Abe Lincoln. She was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging, whether you are a history major/teacher or a pre-teen with little exposure to the content. She answered questions, and had an arsenal of anecdotal stories to supplement her talk. Truly a fantastic speaker & this a great way to supplement our evening after museums were closed. We will use the company again when traveling to DC & look forward to hopefully being enlightened by Lindsey again on a tour. Can’t say enough positives about our evening walk.
