Perfect tour - Really great guide, Rebecca. Showed us some highlights but did not overwhelm with trying to fit too much in our two hour tour. Liked the small group size.

She pointed out the must see aspects of the museum. - Rebecca Fach did an excellent job of giving our tour of The American History Museum. We would have missed a lot of interesting details without her. I highly recommend her as a tour guide.

Great start - As a history major, this was an eye opener to learning so many more things. I was hungry but felt like I never wanted to leave. Take lots of photos as there much to see. Loved sharing this moment with my family

Great additional info -- it helps when your guide has an interest in history! - Our guide Ryan was great -- congenial, timely, and added a great deal to the tour. I think the price is a bit high, but he is one of those better guides whose interest in history adds depth to his tours. Trip Advisor is a little misleading -- there was a 1 hour free museum highlights tour - but that didn't show up on my search.... Nonetheless, Ryan added a lot to the experience.

Great museum for the young and the old! - Came here on a mission to see President Lincoln's hat! And boy did we find it and so much more! And the staff even directed us to specific areas on the first floor for kids to play which ended up even being fun for the adults just watching the kids play

Great highlights tour! - The museum is so big, you’d have a hard time navigating it yourself. Stephen did an excellent job showing us the highlights and sharing the stories behind the history. I’d definitely book another tour again!
