Tour with Amanda! - We toured with Amanda today. She was very accommodating. I recently had knee replacement surgery & she knew where all of the elevators were — all kidding aside? She was knowledgeable, fun and had a true love of history, government and the arts. She showed us things we would have never found on our own. At the end? She suggested other things we might be interested in. Overall? It was an excellent experience.

Private Tour Made Memorable by Annemarie - Our tour with Annemarie was outstanding. She guided us through the Supreme Court, Capitol Hill, and the Library of Congress with impressive knowledge and an engaging style that kept us interested the whole time. Since it ended up being just myself and my girlfriend, it felt like a private tour, and she made sure all of our questions were answered. If she wasn’t certain about something, she took the time to look it up and follow through. Annemarie’s attentiveness and professionalism made the experience truly memorable! I’d highly recommend her.
