We did an early morning tour with Lorenzo. This was definitely the highlight of our quick stop in DC on the way home from Spring Break. Lorenzo was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. The 7 am tour was perfect for photos of all monuments and buildings! There was no one around and traffic was minimal!
