Just talk over the traffic rather than interrupting every time a car or plane passes. The commentary about traffic was more distracting than the traffic.

Dan was our Tour Guide. We loved our tour. He was so knowledgeable about the area, both current and especially it's past. Really interesting American history in just 2 hours. Lot's of interaction, questions asked and answered. Highly recommend this tour.
