Louie is the best tour guide

Louie was our guide and he was absolutely the very best! So nice kind and knew so much history and facts about every stop and every building . I am 71 and traveled with my daughter son in law and two grandsons. He was so informative and we all learned so much from him. He told facts and stories about all of the historical people and made it very interesting. We all feel like we learned so many details about our country and are grateful we had Louie! He was kind and helped me when I had trouble walking back to the Tomb of the unknown soldier and kept the pace slower. We couldn’t have had a better experience and will recommend your tour to everyone we know. The whole experience was amazing.
Loved the guide,...

If we could give Frank 6 stars he would deserve every single one. Enthusiastic, engaging with the kids, never rushed, and great and getting us the best experience, our tour with Frank and Journal Tour and Travels was hands down the highlight of our last minute trip to DC. Thanks Frank! We learned a lot, saw a lot, and enjoyed on time with you.
