Traveler reviews
Great tour package!!
Babylon Tours is definitely the way to book tours. Definitely worth the money. Our guide Jim was so knowledgeable and personable. The tour was about 2 hours long.
Great tour
Debra was fantastic. Knowledgeable and fun. She made this a great experience
Just "okay"
It was a pleasant time, but not worth the money. The guide was nice enough, but I don't feel like she really added a whole lot to what we would have gotten by just touring these places - all of which are public/free - by ourselves.
Magnificent Maribeth made for a fantastic tour!
Fantastic tour guided by Maribeth - she is a font of knowledge and added so much to what we had expected. Super knowledgeable and friendly, which made for a happy tour party. Would definitely recommend!
7 out of 5 stars
Joel made everything fantastic from start to finish. - Clear directions about the meet up spot and how to recognize him - Laid out his objectives: We will learn something, want to come back, and have a 7 out of 5 stars experience. - In each place he gave interesting information, some well known and others based on varying opinions. His ongoing curiosity and love for teaching are evident. - We ended up in the Capitol building and he gave us clear directions about how to find lunch, get a (free) Capitol tour and provided passes for the senate and house chambers. He also gave us a tip about going to the US navy band concert on the avenue in the evening, which was also great! Epilogue: Plans for our next visit: Supreme court lecture, going up into the Capitol dome.
