This is one of the best tours I've been on. After touring the highlights of Washington DC the previous day, this time we visited the same sites and were given a new perspective. The museum visit was incredible. We learned so much.

Our tour guide, Dre, was super knowledgeable we had a great time. It was three generations of family, including my son with special needs, and there was something for all of us.

The most memorable parts of my experience with this tour was the African American Museum. I got to learn a lot about my history, different music artists, inventors, military history as well. I would recommend this trip to all family and friends. There is also a cafe where you can sit down and enjoy a variety of food's.
