Nur Ali was very nice and knowledgeable in the history of the African American History Museum. There were so many things that we had questions about, and Nur answered all of them. We enjoyed the tour, and if you need a tour guide, we recommend Nur. Great person.

This tour was misleading!!! I paid $350 dollars and the tour guide wasn’t very informative and withheld more personal conversations. I called and spoke to someone about this tour before I paid and I was informed I was meeting up and being transported to all the monuments listed 20 mins each and end at the African Museum for a hour for a tour inside however that did not happen whatsoever. My sons and I otherwise was forced to walk in 90 degree weather only to see two monuments the White House and the Washington Monument. I was told I would receive an $250 dollar refund in regards to this from Nar and Michael by this week. I’m very upset about this tour very disappointed and mislead. This almost ruined my vacation with my kids

Nur was an excellent guide. He was engaging and knowledgeable. Took the time task our children questions. He was also very enthusiastic. We learned a lot. Definitely worth the money.
