I've been to Washington DC many times, but the African American Heritage Walking Tour gave me a new perspective on the city's history. Our guide, James, was an excellent storyteller and brought the past to life with his engaging narratives. The tour was both informative and inspiring, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about African American history in the US.

The African American Heritage Walking Tour was the highlight of my trip to Washington DC. Our guide, Angela, was amazing - her knowledge and passion for the subject were evident in every aspect of the tour. We visited important sites and monuments related to African American history, and Angela's stories and insights helped us to understand the significance of each one. I left the tour with a deeper appreciation for the contributions of African Americans to our country's history and culture.
