Tony was a great guide! He knows so many fascinating things about the history the capitol, the founding of the country, the Presidents... He is very passionate about history and that is exactly the type of guide I had hoped for! I learned a lot and he inspired me to learn more about some of the things he talked about. He has a good strong voice so it was easy to hear him! And he corralled our group well despite some challenges like a baby stroller and a couple wanderers. He welcomed all questions! I would definitely hope to get him again for future tours!
Unscripted Tours and our guide James. Fantastic!

We had an excellent tour with Tony and Unscripted. The communication in advance of the tour was excellent to ensure that we knew where to meet and when. Once we met up with the group, Tony provided great information on the sights we were seeing and kept the group moving at a comfortable pace. We saw everything as promised and had a great afternoon doing it.
Worth it!
