    All of it was amazing. We saw alot in 6 hours and it all flowed well. Sam and Maggie kept us on time and organized. They are the dynamic duo! Sam made sure we knew bathroom stops and timetables in order to maximize the experience and photo time. Highly recommend this tour and these 2 guides.

    The memorials of the former Presidents and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was fascinating, also bittersweet and I am thankful for all that they sacrificed for our country. Also, I want to thank all the Veterans for their bravery and for all those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Thank you all, I feel a new sense of Gratitude for our Founding Father..... May God continue to Bless the United States of America
