Maureen was amazing!!! - My family of 5 THOROUGHLY enjoyed our tour of the American History Musuem! Maureen was our guide, and not only was she knowledgeable and fun, she also catered the experience to my tired troop of young adults. This was our 4th tour in 2 days, and it was by far the best. We couldn't be more pleased!

Awesome Tour and Guide!!!! - My daughter and I had planned to visit the Smithsonian Museum of natural history, and I wanted my daughter to experience all the important highlights. I scheduled a semi private tour and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with our tour guide, Annemarie! She was so knowledgeable on any exhibit that we went to see. She gave us so much useful information. I really knew her history. She gave my daughter and I an amazing experience at the museum. I would highly recommend the store. We did the semi private tour and it was amazing.!

Smithsonian American History Museum with Maribeth - Maribeth was an excellent and very well informed guide. I'm a history buff but Maribeth brought so much knowledge to the tour that I was unaware of. She brought fun to the learning experience.
