Big Three Tour - Perfection!
Dash as our guide was outstanding — knowledgeable, engaging, and organized throughout the entire experience. He made the tour both enjoyable and informative and his dry wit had us smiling all day. Highly recommend!”
Great tour with a great guide, Dash!
This was a great tour! We saw all the key exhibits and learned a lot. Our guide, Dash, was knowledgeable and relatable. He did a great job keeping younger attendees engaged and interested. Highly recommended.
Meg was engaging and...
Meg was engaging and well-informed on a variety of topics covered in all 3 museums and the buildings in D.C. We look forward to possibly having her again as a tour guide for the Lincoln tour the next time we come.
Great time had by all!
Shane was great! He guided us, along with 8 others and kept us well informed and engaged. Thank you!
Smithsonian Tour was Super
Shane was an excellent tour guide. He managed to show us many of the highlights for each museum. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bottled water. We walked more than I thought we would and it was hot. We really enjoyed our time exploring.
