    I was there for a convention called Awesomecon and wanted to see the city and monuments since I had never seen DC. She was very easygoing during the tour and knew a great amount of information on the city and monuments. She also would wait for everyone to finish taking pictures of each monument and had good angles on what shot may look good as well as what time of day would be the best for what type of picture or theme I wanted to take. Shelley also made sure not to walk or talk too fast about the facts about each one. If I had further questions on a monument, she would gladly explain. To add onto that thaught, her tours are easy to understand.
