Custom Tours of DC - Private Tour Agency

👍👍 I cannot adequately express in words what a great experience this was for my family of four. We had Dave as our tour guide and he is a walking book of knowledge. AMAZING tour over 2 mornings. Dave made everything meaningful and history come alive as we visited all the monuments, National Archives, F...

Old Korean Legation Museum
Museum
👍👍 I strong recommend this place to visit if you have a travel plan in DC. I cannot explain very well my feeling, but you can get an insight about old Korea empire circumstances. The staff is very kind and intelligent. However, you have to make an appointment before you visit this place because it serv...

National Gallery of Art - East Building
Art museum
👍 Great art gallery with lots of amazing art on multiple floors. There is also a very pretty, sparkly walkway to get you from the west to the east building, and a cafe in the east building, although it has very little in it. I really enjoyed coming here and k recommend it.

Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture
Museum
👍👍 One of my favorite museums in DC. Not only is it free but it also stays open later (7pm) than many of the other museums in the area. Hall of Presidents is impressive, especially the Obama and Clinton portraits. Go up to the third floor for an impressively large portrait of LL Cool J.
The architectu...

National Bonsai & Penjing Museum
Museum
👍👍 Truly one of the coolest places I have ever been to in my entire life. It's FREE which is AMAZING given the current climate. We went when it was getting pretty cold out but you do a bunch of walking so you don't even notice! I'm not sure I had ever seen a bonsai tree in real life prior and getting t...

Saint John Paul II National Shrine
Shrine
👍 Though it looks like a modern private school on the outside, the inside is dignified and engaging.
Go in and start with the movie in the basement and then meander though the exhibitions on the various genres of JP2’s pontificate. The media is really impressive and the exhibits are well-curated with...

National Archives Museum
National museum
👍👍 So much more to see here than just the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. However, for those documents just get up there and look at them. People try to do this line business and then the security personnel have to break it up to move everyone along. It’s silly. Not everyone wants to...

National Law Enforcement Museum
Museum
👍👍 Be sure to visit while in DC. Took our 13 year old niece and we all enjoyed it. We are not law enforcement so I think most people will find the interactive exhibits interesting. Especially enjoyed the video on training K9 dogs and 911 simulator. A couple of the live action simulators were not...

Old Post Office Museum

👍👍 For one of the best views of Washington, D.C., head to the Old Post Office Museum and Tower any day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Run by the National Park Service, admission is free. You’ll walk through a hall with a tiny exhibit about the history of the 1899 old main post office before taking two wheelchai...

Neptune Fountain
Fountain
👍👍 Neptunes fountain is a beautiful fountain right outside of the library of Congress. The water was very blue and clean. It was interesting to see their depiction of Neptune in statue form and the surrounding architecture was well designed.

National Deaf Life Museum

👍👍 It's open for visits. They ask visitors to get an appointment beforehand, but it's not really necessary. It's a big hall with permanent exhibits, full of historical information, artifacts, and photographs that tell the importance of Gallaudet in the history of the deaf and the mute. It doesn't take...
