Highly recommend, fantastic tour - We had a tour today with Meghan. She did a freer job of giving us an overview of the Smithsonian. We hit several of the highlights and received a lot of great information. It was a lovely afternoon of touring. We would highly recommend our tour guide and our tour.

Great tour in 2+ hours of American history - We signed up for a semi-private group tour and ended up getting a private on of our own history tour with Kate (other family didn’t join). It was informative and interesting. Kate kept our kids engaged and covered all the highlights. Well worth the time and $$.

Thank you! Highly Recommend. - Maribeth was amazing. Customized the tour to our interest to keep the entire family engaged and excited. I would imagine it could be overwhelmingly given the size and quantum of people, so Maribeth really made this a great experience for our family. Very friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful. Highly recommend.

Must Do Tour w/ Annemarie in DC - The tour was incredible! Annemarie was knowledgeable and personable which made for a most enjoyable experience! She shared lots of historical and cultural information. She was well organized and had fascinating stories that made the sights even more captivating. My husband and I were engaged and learning the entire time. Annemarie’s passion for history shined. We highly recommend Annemarie and Babylon Tours!

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.
