Amazing tour guide. Shane is a well prepared, witty, energetic, patient guide who does a lot more than a normal guide. Highly suggest! If you read this, thanks for making us welcome!

Would you rather wander around the Smithsonian and try to read/remember/guess about all of the backstories behind the thousands of exhibits, or would you rather have a really friendly guide give you incredible backstories to our amazing world? If you've committed to the travel and the day, then the price of the tour is a drop in the bucket. Our guide, Shane, got to know everyone in the group, our interests, where we were from, and any areas we may want to spend a little extra time on. He did an outstanding job. We learned so much about the individual exhibits, as well as how to strategize a longer, 2-3 day visit.

Shane the tour guide was fabulous. He gave me suggestions to do with my two children also even after the tour. He was super duper knowledgeable and made our experience lovely.
