This bus tour was amazing, well worth the time and money; we also got access to the museum as a group after the bus tour as well. The bus is air conditioned and the tour makes a few stops where we have some time to walk around (it’s a moderate amount of walking so don’t forget your supportive shoes!) Our tour guide Dre was a treasure trove of knowledge (not just DC history) and gave poignant relevance to the symbolism and meanings behind the architecture, placement, and intention behind what we see around DC; what he teaches makes the maxim “Black history is American history” ring true with history we can see and touch.
