Brenda was great. The pace if the tour was comfortable and the knowledge on the exhibits was first rate. Brenda kept everyone’s attention and was patient with questions from the kids. Overall it was just what we hoped for in a private guided tour.
Marvelous experience.

We had a great tour at the American History Museum. Bess, our tour guide was very knowledgeable, professional, and kept the tour on time. She definitely enhanced our experience at the Smithsonian. I do think the price was a little too steep for the 2.5 hour tour.
