Traveler reviews
Highly recommend to...
Highly recommend to navigate you through the crowds and get you to the main events of the museum. We enjoyed our knowledgeable guide and learned a lot.
Worth it for sure!
Nice walk to Archive with interesting info shared. Pass every line and get right up to documents immediately. She did a terrific job putting it into context and discussed architecture and art also. You are able to meet tomorrow the other exhibits, and that was definitely worthwhile to plan extra time on the end of the tour to do that!
Bringing meaning to history
Our tour of the National Archives Museum was outstanding thanks to our guide. He brought history to life with stories, knowledge, and enthusiasm. His explanations made the experience much more meaningful. He was patient (our last tour of the trip after days of walking), organized, and happy to answer our questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting WashingtonDC.
Outstanding guided tour
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Shane, is extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. We were familiar with some of the documents we were going to see (Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution, etc.), but the background knowledge Shane provided was very detailed and really insightful. Not only did he provide information about the documents but also information about the paintings in the Rotunda and throughout the building. I highly recommend this tour.
Great tour and guide
Wear good walking shoes. Be ready for building security checks. Stay close to the guide to hear everything.
