Q&A

Q: Can we reschedule if our plans change last minute?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your tour with at least 24 hours' notice. Babylon Tours is pretty flexible, but it's always good to check with them directly if you're unsure. Just make sure to have your booking info handy when you reach out!

Q: What’s the best way to navigate parking in DC for this tour?

A: Parking can be tricky near the museums, but there are several garages within walking distance. The closest might be the National Mall garages, but they fill up fast. I recommend using an app like SpotHero to find a spot ahead of time. Just be ready for a bit of a walk if you park further away!

Q: Are there any age restrictions for kids on this tour?

A: There's no specific age restriction for the tour, but it’s generally recommended for kids aged 5 and up. The guides are great at engaging kids, especially with the dinosaur exhibits! Just keep in mind that younger kids might get restless during the lengthy tour.

Thinking of booking the Smithsonian combo tour – worth it?

Hey everyone! I'm considering getting the Smithsonian Natural History + Air and Space Museum Private Tour for my partner's birthday. We love museums, but I’m a bit worried about the amount of walking and if lunch break is included. Has anyone done this? What was your experience like? Any tips for a fun day?

Private tour or semi-private – which is better?

I’m trying to decide between the private and semi-private options for the Smithsonian tour. Is the extra cost for the private guide worth it? How crowded does the semi-private get? Any thoughts would be super helpful!
