Truly enjoyed this tour with Allan! He is knowledgeable and threw in really interesting facts and fun bits about NYC, Washington D.C. and the cities we drove past during the tour—that made it all the more worth it. Itinerary was well planned and I thoroughly appreciate the punctuality too. It was a medium-sized group (only 11 of us), so it was very easy to crowd-control! Would highly suggest trying this out if you wanna explore DC’s best attractions!!!

This was an exhibition I really wanted to see when I went to New York. There were so many great pieces that I felt spiritually fulfilled that even 3 hours was not enough. It was so good that I wanted to visit again next time. I definitely recommend it.
