Review of Washington DC’s 3-hour Smithsonian walking tour, with Natural History, American History, and reserved Air and Space entry.
“This was an excellent tour. The museum has so many items to view, and I was glad that the tour leader picked out not only some of the best things to view, but also she told of the best places to view items and to take photos. I had several tours with Unscripted Tours, and they were so helpful and accommodating, especially since my time in Washington DC was during the government shut down. Many kudos to this tour company.”
