This tour was awesome. Our guide, Christopher did a great job. The tour was educational, interesting and entertaining! Christopher brought the history to life for us and our boys. Both tours allowed us to get highlights and not feel like we missed the major aspects of the museums in a reasonable amount of time. Then we were able to go back later and spend more time on things we wanted to experience in depth. Great tour!!

Brenda was a fun and energetic tour guide. She was timely and had great communication leading up to the meeting spot.
It was our first time visiting this museum and we would not know where to start if she had not guided us! Many interesting facts we didn’t know. From rocks, dinosaur fossils, and mammals. We saw the Hope diamond and loved the intriguing story she shared surrounding it. It was a small tour of 8 people and the only way to go! Don’t go without a tour guide, you will be overwhelmed!

Terrific tour! Amanda, our guide was wonderful. She knew the ins and outs. What a great way to see a lot of real estate in a short amount of time. She took us to the highlights. Had in-depth analysis. Knew where to go to see the highlights and must sees.

The American history museum really topped my expectations. I was expecting old, dusty, and just a look back at history. Instead, the museum comes alive! We loved the presidential gallery, the first ladies inaugural gowns, even Julia, Childs kitchen! Examining every day culture, history, and pop culture. I would highly recommend.

Leigh was a phenomenal guide. So knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I wondered if I would appreciate this tour with my limited knowledge of art. The answer is YES! I learned so much about the history of art. Leigh explained how the culture of the periods influenced styles/techniques of so many artists/paintings. It was fascinating. We covered so much but the time flew. I would love to do it again. Such a beautiful museum. Highly recommend this tour!

I love the majesty of the building itself. There were lots of people there yes. However, it never felt like we in a mass such as a concert. My biggest suggestion is to always go to the left while everyone else seems to go right. (If there is an option.) Also, start at the farthest section from the front entrance. It will probably be less crowded.

We enjoyed the exhibits. We go to many museums around the world. This one did not disappoint. There are clean and large restroom facilities. There is seating in multiple places for the "just tired" or for little ones to take a break.

Also, as with all museums, the lighting is dim to protect the artifacts. Keep that in mind if you have vision limitations. Also, be aware that many small children may cross your path. Always be aware of the surroundings for safety. I

Richard was an amazing tour guide and an even more amazing storyteller! We learned so much and the experience would not have been the same if we were just walking around on our own.
