Our guide, RL Mirabel, was so knowledgeable. We have been to DC many times over the years, but he knew stories and information we had never heard. It was so very interesting and he constantly surprised us with fascinating historical facts. I highly recommend this tour and him.

If you can do a grocery shop- you can do this. I have knee problems & worried, but I was fine. Walking is slow and you can sit at stops while listening to stories. If your kid likes Gravity Falls- will love this. Our meeting spot was super loud and crowded, but our guide can texted us to find each other. We were the only people on our tour (common), so it feels very vip private tour. Sadly, the White House was way more blocked off while we were there, but our guide was great about working it out and getting best possible views.
