Just did the African American History Tour - Here’s my take!

I went on the Guided African American History Tour in DC last weekend and it was phenomenal. The guide was super knowledgeable, and standing at the Emancipation Statue really brought the history to life. They also provided us with bottled water, which was a nice touch. Ending the tour at the National Museum of African American History and Culture was the cherry on top. If you’re thinking about gifting this, I’d say go for it!

Thinking of gifting the African American History Tour. Thoughts?

I’m considering this tour for my parents’ anniversary. They love history, but I'm unsure if it’ll be too intense for them. The price is great since it includes museum entry. Has anyone done this with older folks? Tips?
