I picked the museum tours that keep a Smithsonian day from turning into aimless wandering. Every Smithsonian museum is free to enter, though Air and Space needs a timed pass. A guide walks you straight to the Hope Diamond while the tour buses are still unloading.
Immerse yourself in the captivating history of Washington, D.C., as you embark on an exclusive tour that unveils the secrets of the U.S. Capitol and the National Archives.
