Very knowledgeable and compassionate guide! - Maureen was a very knowledgeable and compassionate - you could tell she had a personal connection with the museum. We always see allot on these tours that we would not have seen or read between the lines on the descriptions of the items. We had a German friend with us; Marueen was very good and breaking down the cultural importance of many of the things we saw and even provided some cool links to our friend's culture.

A super tour by a professional & knowledgeable lady - We went on a tour of the American History museum today with our two daughters. Brenda is so nice and engaging. She is so knowledgeable about so many subjects and knew just how to pitch the tour to interest both us and our children. All of us enjoyed it and learnt so many interesting things - about the American Wars, Presidents and American Culture and much more. Thank you to Brenda for making our tour so fun, it certainly exceeded all our expectations.

Perfect way not to be overwhelmed by the Smithsonian - I am in DC with my granddaughter on her 12th birthday trip. I am trying to find ways for her to experience the highlights of DC without being overwhelmed and over stimulated. Thus, I signed us up for this tour and it ended up being absolutely perfect. Our guide, Donna, has a granddaughter about the same age as mine so she has a great knack for putting together and narrating what is of interest to that age group. It was interesting to listen to what my granddaughter recounted to her parents about the tour—it was many of the stories Donna shared about entrepreneurs and inventions. I highly recommend this tour as away to make the American History Museum manageable, interesting, fun and well-paced.

A Terrific Smithsonian - Maribeth is a natural story-teller, which is a trait that you'd hope for in a tour guide. American history is a natural page-turner, and Maribeth helps it come alive, even moreso. But she's also a gifted organizer, which benefits everyone in her group, whether they realize it or not.

Natural History Extravaganza - My husband and I were guided by Christopher through the Natural History museum and had a PHENOMENAL time! Christopher was highly knowledgeable and passionate about the museum displays, and his enthusiasm was infectious. He was intentional about his guided tour and took care to ensure we visited exhibits that piqued our interests.Two and a half hours flew by! We would highly recommend Babylon tours to anyone wanting to further explore and receive in-depth information from a consummate professional!
