I transitioned from owning a printing company for 24 years to the next chapter of my life and stumbled into being a tour guide. It was a life-changing happenstance. I love meeting people, researching, and sharing my passion for quirky historical facts and fun stories. I had no idea how much I would enjoy working with young people, but I absolutely love this job!

Testimonials
He was a rock star... best I've ever had. He needs a raise because he saved the trip for you!
He did an amazing job!!! He knew what he was talking about, and he also planned accordingly and added extra stops to see!!!
Andrew was "cool." The students enjoyed him and his calming personality.
If anyone is reading this, please let Andrew Berman work with XXXXX middle school students again.
Andrew was fantastic. We were supposed to be at Arlington during a forecasted thunderstorm, so a few days before our tour, he contacted me about switching up our itinerary. He contacted ticketed museums and was able to switch our arrival days and times so that we didn't get soaked. He was constantly adjusting on the fly, always aware of where we were, and added stops to our tour as time and proximity/location allowed. I would love to travel with him again!
Andrew was awesome, and the kids loved him!
The bike tour around the National monuments was incredible! I would recommend this tour to anyone who can ride a bike. Andrew was our guide, and he was so knowledgeable about the area that he was fascinating to listen to.
Andrew is the best tour guide ever! Detailed background on all the sites, he is obviously passionate about DC sites. Highly recommend.
Great tour, informative and engaging. Nice electric bike. Andrew is very knowledgeable about the history of the city.
Andrew was awesome - making the itinerary fit with the weather and interests of the students. Happy and upbeat with the students and Teachers. Made the WHOLE trip fun and helped the last day a lot with how the 2 schools would separate. Also how to best manage the day at Gettysburg -even though he would not be there. (which would be nice to have him accompany us) He pre-called all the food locations and helped us get the best seating each location we went. FABULOUS JOB! THANK YOU Awesome Experience!
Andrew was phenomenal - engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly. He led our group well, with so much interesting information, and made the trip fun and enjoyable even when we were all dragging and exhausted. I could not recommend Andrew more.
Andrew does an amazing job!!!!! His depth of knowledge is amazing. Andrew is amazing and I hope to work with him in the future very trip I have.
Andrew really understood my kids. Love his flexibility as well!
Very positive & upbeat. was able to change itinerary to better accommodate travel locations with meal locations. Was able to help trouble shoot getting in contact with bus pickup for group B that was at the wrong location. He was also given the wrong number for the group B field specialist at BWI for JT. He stayed with group C until the field specialist arrived.
Andrew is hands down the best CL I have ever had.
