Captivating visit, to do absolutely - Visit the Natural History Museum in Washington, with the impressive skeleton of Tyrannosaurus rex on display in the Great Dinosaur Hall. This majestic specimen, one of the most complete ever discovered, offers a fascinating insight into the prehistoric life and grandeur of these extinct creatures. The meticulously preserved details of the bones, as well as the educational information provided by the museum, allow visitors of all ages. An experience that leaves a lasting impression on the importance of paleontology.

Great Tour with Nur! - We had a great tour with Nur. He knew the museum really well and pointed out some of the coolest things. He connected the exhibits like a story of earth's existence and kept our 11 year old daughter very entertained!

Incredible art experience - Leigh Jameson was an amazing tour guide for the D.C National Gallery of Art. She did not take us through each and every painting (frankly, that would be impossible, it would take you days to get through everything the museum has to offer) instead, she focused on the most significant and rather influential art works that a tourist would love to see. She is very articulate with her explanations of each painting and knows them through and through, prepared for nearly any question you have. In addition, she not only focuses on the visual aspect of an art piece where she discusses the importance of color and symbolism but also the historical context behind it. She looks at each piece in the broader aspect and how it has influenced the artist world. I highly recommend her, she truly knows her stuff!

Great Experience - Mr. Maurice our guide was so sweet and knowledgeable. He guided us throughout the major parts of the museum and also left us time to explore each part on our own. We learned a lot more than if we just did a self guided tour. We enjoyed our experience and highly recommend!

It's a hoax. Don't make this mistake. - It's a scam. No guide came and the museum entrance is free. I want my money back and to report that it's a lie. I think the page should not lend itself to this deception.

Bad experience - This tour was not good. We showed up at the time and location indicated on our ticket and the tour guide never showed up. We missed our tour and are now requesting a full refund for the tour that we never got to take.

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. - My most memorable part of the experience was standing with my party like spare parts at the main entrance slowly realising I’d been scammed. The guide did not show up, there was ZERO communication from them. However, Viator have been outstanding and already secured my refund so that’s something. Do yourself a favour, do not book this scam tour.

Disappointing - Guide never showed. Viator couldn’t even get them to answer phone. Viator tried to help and was very good on their end. They are processing a refund for it.
