A great place to see, but still had to go through the ticket line.
Wow, what an amazing place to see. We still had to go through the ticket line, happy it wasnt very long. I thought buying the tour in advance kept us out of the ticket line, but it did not. Once inside we had to go to the Information booth to receive our map and details about the mansion tour. Even with all that, we all ( grandparents, adult children and young adult grandsons) loved it.

Great way to see major attract in one day
This was a great way to get around to a lot of sites without having to walk so much. I did appreciate that they picked us up at a stop that was close to our hotel instead of making us go the starting point. We had 3 different narrators but each of them were good and were very friendly. The transfer to the Arlington shuttle went very smooth and they did a great job also. The shuttle in Arlington gave us a really good overview of interesting facts about this cemetery and made 4 stops to allow us to get off and visit the most iconic grave sites. We even got to see the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. That was very moving. It was definitely a worthwhile activity, especially if you only have a day or two to visit DC.

We had a wonderful experience on our Smithsonian museum tour! Our guide, Meg, was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough when explaining the history, and she always took the time to stop and answer any questions we had.Meg made the tour interesting, informative, and enjoyable from beginning to end. It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend this tour—and Meg as a guide—to anyone visiting Washington, D.C.!
