Museum Mania!

Washington, DC is home to the largest museum complex in the United States and some of the best museums in the world.  While I cannot offer your group guided tours inside the museums, I am happy to craft the perfect museum itinerary for you, share the history of the different museum buildings and collections, host lively pre-and-post visit discussions, and make sure that you see every artifact that interests you.

You provide the bus, I’ll provide step-on facilitation, custom itinerary and all the information you need to see Washington, DC and its surrounding area.  All of the tours above can be converted to accommodate bus transportation – additional sites that can be reached easily by bus include the Air Force Memorial, the Pentagon Memorial, and the Marine Corps Memorial.
