Smithsonian Natural History + American History - Exclusive Tour

Rebecca was knowledgeable and funny. Great experience She knew about the exhibits and wrote the group involved. I hope she does other museums also so we csn get her again.

There is so much to see. It was great to have a guide who understood our interests and directed us to exhibits that met them. Leigh was very personable and knowledgeable.

Maribeth made our visit to both the Smithsonian National Museum of American History absolutely wonderful. She was knowledgeable, organized, and brought so much enthusiasm to the experience. Her insights helped us appreciate the exhibits on a deeper level. Maribeth was friendly, engaging, and clearly passionate about sharing history in a way that kept everyone interested. Thanks to her, our trip felt memorable and stress-free. Highly recommend Maribeth to anyone visiting these museums and wanting a more meaningful experience.

We had a wonderful tour with Amanda Smithsonian natural history, Museum and American history Museum. She was super patient very friendly and gave us some great educational stories about what we were experiencing. She has an outstanding personality and interacted with our teenagers perfectly. The pace of the tour was incredible. I would highly recommend this to anyone and please request Amanda!!

Outstanding personal service while concentrating on important attractions. Much better than scrambling around and wasting time. Tour guide, Rebecca, was the best in DC!!

We loved hearing all the stories Brenda told us- going into detail abut both museums. She is a wealth of knowledge and a true gem to have on our tour. We would have been lost without her.

The guide was very knowledgeable , however he resisted tailoring our private tour to what my 13 year old grandson would have enjoyed. Kids don’t really care about architecture.

This is the first time I visited Washington DC. I booked five different guided tours with different companies. I can honestly said that this is the best of all. My tour guide Stephen Mead is very knowledgeable. He's very enthusiastic, energetic and very easy to follow. Natural History Museum and American History Museum are HUGE. The humongous amount of exhibitions could be overwhelming. I would be completely lost without Stephen. He made the tours of both museums extremely enjoyable. And this is truly an exclusive tour. There were total of six people in the Natural History Museum tour and only total of four in the American History Museum tour. I highly highly recommend this tour. Absolutely book this, and if you have a chance, request Stephen Mead.

Stephen was really great. Moved us through so we saw everything of significance and shared an indepth knowledge of the various displays.

Our family of 5 did the private Nat. History and Amer. History tour with Donna - who was amazing!!!! Donna is everything you look for in a guide!!! Natural History exceeded our expectations but American History really impressed us the most! SO much to see in both! Babylon has great customer service!

We had a small group tour and then a private tour with Brenda. She was terrific and a history buff with a passion for anything George Washington!

We had already been excited to go on the tour of the national gallery, but we did not expect to have so much fun and such a knowledgeable guide. Donna was absolutely incredible, and so much fun to have leading us through the trip. Not only that, but she was also incredibly understanding as we had a bit of an emergency that led to us being a half hour late. Instead of leaving and canceling our tour which she would’ve been more than justified in doing, she waited for us and Toured through the museum all the way, until it was literally closing. Annabelle and I had an experience that we will never forget, and hopefully can do again. I I would recommend this tour to anyone, but if they were lucky enough to get Donna as their guide, I would say it is something that it is a once in a lifetime opportunity not to be missed.

In a town like DC, there is so much to see that it can be overwhelming. Tours like this one save the day! Donna was an awesome and knowledgable guide. She helped us hit the highlights of two major museums in a few short hours. My teenage daughter and I were very impressed with her extensive knowledge of history and art. It's a real treat to have a personal guide to learn in these great institutions. Do it!

Richard was our guide and he was excellent !!! He was very knowledgeable, shared many interesting stories, and was humorous as well. I would highly recommend this tour to family and friends!

Our tour guide, Richard Robinson, was fabulous. He was so familiar with both the Art Museum & the Natural History Museum that the tours were informative, interesting & fun. Our tour consisted of ages 10-72 and he delighted all. I hope he is available if we are able to take additional trips to Washington.

Donna was our tour guide and she was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. Donna shared things we would have not known. Being in a crowded place with so much to see is daunting. I would have been staring at a famous painting by a famous artist but not know the story behind the art. To be in a place and be present to experience and learn is wonderful.

A very pleasant tour. Process was easy and Babylon Tours was very responsive and made the booking process pleasant. Leigh was engaging, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Would recommend without hesitation. Thank you!

Our guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and took time for questions. The task was so very difficult because there was so much to see and explain.

Richard was amazing and so insightful! He made us laugh, he took us to the exhibits we most wanted to see and even took the extra time to show us things that weren’t even on our radar. Overall he was awesome, the tour was awesome and we’ll be back to DC to have him guide us again through the museums we didn’t book.

Leigh was FANTASTIC! So engaging that my 3 year old stayed occupied for 2 HOURS. She took us to all the things we wanted to see and easily breezed past what we weren’t as interest in. 10/10 recommend, even for toddlers!

Meghan was very thoughtful to offer a wheelchair for our special needs son and was simply the smartest tour guide ever. She made me very minute of the tour interesting with her fascinating stories and high energy, which kept even our 3 boys glued to her. So worth the money not to wander aimlessly for hours on our own.

Donna was amazing, such a pleasant person with so much knowledge and grace. It was truly the highlight of our trip to DC. Very recommended

Very educational and entertaining tour with our tour guide Megan. She was able to allow us to see a wide variety of the museum that really captured it’s essence.

We saw museums and galleries through the eyes of our 12 y.o. grandson. There is so much to see, but Meghan Hanson, our guide, was terrific; she catered to our interests every day, got us through the maze of things to see with flying colors, and made us feel cared for and relaxed. We highly recommend Meghan and will request her professional services when we bring our other grandchildren to DC.
