Annemarie made for a great tour! - Annemarie is incredibly attentive and knowledgable guide. She gets to know you, and where you’re from and always pointing out relevant details to your life that she learns over the course of the tour. She was very patient - we were with two young boys that were very inquisitive and she did a great job fielding their questions while keeping the tour on track. Also, if you hate the microphone and headphones tours, this one is for you!! Small intimate group makes for a great, lowkey tour. Perfect way to spend a morning of your trip.

Great Monuments Tour with Maureen! - We had a wonderful private tour with Maureen today! Our family of 9, including 5 children ages 7 months to 14 years, walked the Monument tour, which included the ride to the top of the Washington Monument. Maureen was a joy! Maureen added tremendous value to our experience with background information at every turn. She was very patient and engaging with the range of ages. Highly recommend!
