My husband and I took this tour with Jamie, and it was a great experience! I would highly recommend taking it, if you can, even if the cherry blossoms aren’t in season. We took this tour a few weeks ahead of the start of cherry blossom season, so we didn’t get to see many, but we did get to see some gorgeous sunset views of the Tidal Basin and the National Mall. The tour started on time, and Jamie offered helpful communication tips on finding the tour’s starting location. Jamie’s background makes him very knowledgeable on the history and subject matter. Our tour group ended up being just me and my husband, plus Jamie, which was nice because we were able to discuss the topics with him in a smaller group setting. Overall, we were pleased with this experience, and we can’t wait to come back to DC to truly experience all the cherry blossoms have to offer. Thanks, Jamie!
