NICK NICK NICK - Nick was amazing and the tour was most enjoyable during the day yesterday. He is a washington dc resident for his entire life and he pretty much knew everything about our tour routes, history and many unique. Nick has the perfect personality for a tour guide; very very knowledgeable, articulate and very funny..... Nick is also a certified tour guide in many other cities and I would select him 1st every time...... Nick reads rather than TV watching and it's obvious and evident in his knowledge of so many facts and back story's about so many topics. Request Nick for your tour; I guarantee you will not be disappointed..... THANKS NICK Scott LIMOINATLANTA Abdul was also a great driver to compliment Nick.

Not what I expected. - I’ve purchased this event because I thought the ticket for the African-Americans. Smithsonian was a free base strip. The bus was packed and the microphone on the bus stop working so you could barely hear the tour guide. We spent so much time at the Lincoln Memorial, and other places, but only have 15 minutes at the MLK statue, and it was Extremely rushed
