Although it was an English tour, the tour guide's pronunciation was clear and the explanation was easy to understand, so I was able to have a meaningful time. In addition, there was a 1+1 event, so there were many advantages in terms of price. Thank you for providing a helpful tour at a reasonable price.

Thanks to the tour guide's easy-to-understand and comprehensive explanations, I was able to start my DC trip off on a full note. Although the tour was in English, the explanations were easy to understand and the pronunciation was good, so it wasn't hard to understand. The price was also reasonable with the 1+1 event.
