“Very knowledgeable guide, with an enormous range of facts, ability to make connections and point out obscure nuances; Seemed a little annoyed at times that we did not know as much as he did. Tip for participants: bring food, it is a long trip! The stop in U street would have been a perfect moment to enhance the experience by offering some real streetfood, because the food at the museum is mediocre and the lines long. Overall: very educational trip!”
