Skye was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. She patiently answered our questions throughout. Tour is highly recommended.
Riley was just terriific! Funny, knowledgeable, quick wit. Provided lots of history and context for the tour. Move is right up front to view documents. Would love to do more tours with her!
Liam was great and made sure to talk about some of the things my seven year old son was interested in from National Treasure. Of the tours and experience in DC, I have to say the Archives were by far my favorite.
Pam was an AMAZING guide! Very knowledgeable and detailed about the Archives. We had a great time! Definitely recommend this tour 100%!!!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our Archives tour! Our guide, Riley, was very knowledgeable about the history of all of our country’s founding documents, history of the founding fathers, and even though it was HECTIC being July 4th she had a very contagious upbeat attitude. Being able to skip the long line for security was also a huge bonus!
Very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly tour staff. From the time you enter their office till the end of the tour very laid-back and unrushed. Nice tour options as well.
Driver was able to navigate around all the street closures due to July 4th. We were able to have a feel of the highlights of Washington DC.
A must for busy times. It would have been impossible to wait in the line! It was educational as well.
We were there close to 4th of July, so we booked this to avoid long lines to get in. The tour is only about an hour, but Christina gave us a lot of information you wouldn’t hear anywhere else regarding the documents and artwork. I would recommend this tour to anyone.
Christina was great and very knowledgeable. The message had two clickable address links but one took us to the wrong place so we had to hurry and uber to the correct one. Check the location very carefully. Most of the hour was walking to the building and getting through. We did skip the line and went through a back entrance which was nice. We ended up in the small gallery museum. Overall, I think the price was worth it to be taken and not have to stand in line. The information she gave us was really interesting as well.
