Fun and engaging guided tour - Our guide, Meghan, was very knowledgeable, engaging and she hit the major spots, although the museum was undergoing re-construction and exhibits were limited she managed to do the full 90 minute tour. We enjoyed it very much !

Smithsonian Air & Space w/ Meghan - We had a great tour of the Air and Space Museum with Meghan! Portions of the museum are still under renovations but Meghan did a nice job working around that digging into the Wright bros, commercial flight and NASA and the moon landings. Interesting museum and fun experience.

A Guided Tour is the Best Way to Go - Our guide was Leigh and she did an amazing job. Her enthusiasm for the history at the Air and Space Museum was infectious. Leigh was well organized and knowledgeable. We could not have been happier with the tour. It was just too short......you could stay here a month!
