Tour of National Mall and Washington Monument - Annmarie is highly knowledgeable and provided many interesting historical facts along the way. We travel with our two son, 6 and 10, and she was able to keep them engaged and allow them to ask questions. Annmarie is very friendly, accommodating, kind and really knows her stuff! We had an incredible experienced we all left with so much more knowledge and love being able to go up the Washington monument. I highly recommend Babylon tours, and Annmarie as a tour guide.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up! - My son and I did the Monuments tour yesterday with Annemarie as our guide, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience! I believe we visited 7 monuments/memorials in all and my son (age 9) and I learned something new at each one! Annemarie was a wonderful guide and in addition to sharing little known facts and vignettes about each monument/memorial, she also engaged my son and the other kids on the tour well, took pictures and got us to our endpoint (the Washington Memorial) right on time!
I would highly recommend this tour if you’d like to learn lots of fun tidbits about not just the memorials but also about DC.

Amazing walking tour of Memorials and Washington Monument - learned so much! - We got last minute tickets for a half day tour of Washington DC the day before the tour. Needless to say, I didn’t have high hopes about what we might be getting. Annemarie was an awesome tour guide! She was friendly, very knowledgeable and great at keeping a good pace for our group. I was pleasantly surprised that we had such a great tour guide. She was very good at interacting with each one of our small group, especially the kids. She knew many facts and dates and answered all the questions we threw at her during our tour. It didn’t feel like we were rushing from memorial to memorial, she kept us at a good pace and let us linger when we wanted to. She always offered to take pictures of our family with all of us in it, so no one would be left out taking the picture. By the way, we got some amazing pictures of the cherry blossoms, the Lincoln Memorial, the reflecting pool, MLK memorial and World War II memorial. Great experience, highly recommend!

Good tour, small group size is ideal. - Good tour to hit the highlights of the museum. They are pre-set, so if there are galleries that are important to you which aren't covered, plan to stay following the tour to explore on your own. The museum itself is phenomenal, and it helped to have a guide to provide context to what we were seeing.
