Not a movie tour
The tour was 90% historic and 10% movie with only one movie clip. We really enjoyed Alpert’s historical knowledge but I bought this as a gift for my movie loving man (before our landmark tour), and there was incredibly little focus on movies in this tour. He dropped us off at the Little White House for ninety minutes, with zero movie context. I didn’t pay to be dropped off for so long with no movie connection. Our guide was kind and drove us to our dinner reservation but it didn’t feel like a movie tour at all.
