We did the DC Monuments Tour with our guide Anne Marie. She was energetic, pleasant and informative. She showed pertinent pictures on her IPad and had great knowledge of all that we saw, giving interesting tidbits along the way. She had time for all questions and gave us helpful hints for other sites.
