Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can kids participate?

A: There isn’t a strict age limit for this tour, but it’s best suited for kids 10 and up, since the content can be pretty intense (think history and politics). Younger kids might get bored or have trouble keeping up. If you're considering it for a family outing, just know that everyone needs a ticket regardless of age.

Q: What happens if it rains? Are we still able to do the tour?

A: Yep! The tour runs rain or shine, which is great because you won't miss out on anything. Both museums are indoors, so you're covered in case of bad weather. Just wear comfortable shoes since there’s a lot of walking!

Q: How difficult is this tour? Is it suitable for older adults?

A: The tour is pretty manageable; it’s not overly strenuous, but be prepared to walk a lot! There are some benches to sit on, and the guide takes breaks, too. Perfect for older adults who are up for some historical fun, just make sure they wear comfortable shoes and can manage the 5.5 hours. Plenty of opportunities to rest.

Thinking about gifting the National Archives + Portrait Gallery Tour!

Hey everyone! I'm considering this semi-private tour for my parents' anniversary. They love history and art, and I think it’d be an amazing experience for them. Has anyone done this tour? How was the guide? And is it easy to get to from the metro? Any tips would be appreciated!

Anyone been on the National Archives + Portrait Gallery Tour recently?

I’m planning a trip to DC soon and thinking about this tour! I love that it’s small (max 8 people) so it doesn’t feel crowded. Can anyone share what the lunch break is like? Is there a place to grab food nearby?
