National mall tour Amazing! - Annemarie was amazing! My son is 9 and my oldest is 14, plus adults. She was able to keep the entire group interested. We learned so much. We were able cover so much in the national mall because of her understanding of the monuments and area. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Worth the $ - Maribeth was great, great for the adults and kids. It was well worth the money to have a personalized guide otherwise we would have missed many many details and facts that she pointed out.

Excellent Small Group Walking Tour! - We absolutely loved this small walking tour of the mall. Plus, it included the Washington monument. So convenient! We finished the tour at the monument and went right to the top. Brenda, our guide, was an amazing fountain of knowledge! Plus she knew where to take the best pictures and took them for us! We really enjoyed her and would sign up for another tour with her!

Worth It - This was the perfect activity for my family while we were in the DC area for a wedding. Just being able to go up into the Washington Monument makes it worth it, seeing as those tickets apparently sell out like 6 months in advance. Amanda was our tour guide and she was absolutely perfect. We have a very talkative/inquisitive 13-year-old and Amanda was very patient, answering every. single. question. Honestly I have zero notes in terms of what could be improved. We learned a lot, it was a beautiful day, and we had an incredible time.
