We had a great visit to the Smithsonian natural history museum! Nur was fantastic and had a lot of great knowledge of the exhibits and Washington history! We loved our tour

Nur was amazing, very knowledgeable, very friendly and great at pointing out the things we just wouldn’t have seen if we’d toured by ourselves. It’s the first time we’ve used a museum guide and I’d definitely recommend it, we covered so much ground in the two hours we were there, more than we could have done in a day by ourselves. I’d definitely recommend, well worth the money.
