Great tour - not to be missed! - First day in DC and this tour was the perfect start to our holiday - small group, plenty of time and explanation of the key sites on the National Mall, including supplementary images on a tablet to help understand or recognize specific details. Our guide was Annemarie from Babylon Tours - very welcoming, knowledgeable and great company for the tour. Thank You!

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.
