The tour guides from USA Guided Tour are knowledgeable. They provided summarised narrations to the group appropriately. The enjoy our seasonal boat cruise on October 18th is stated replaced by a visit to "the Pentagon". It is inaccurate! The guide clarified that the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City replaces the seasonal boat cruise. The last stop at The National Archives Museum should include narration to make the guided tour experience complete.
