It was exciting just to be inside the Pentagon. Our guide was informative, funny, interesting and held our attention the entire time. What a great tour and it should not be missed.

Do not bring backpacks or duffle bags or big purses. One person in our party had to stay out of the tour (outside) to stay with our bags. Other than that, this was a GREAT experience.

My husband and I were able to get a Pentagon tour through our Congressperson. This was probably my husband's favorite tour that we did. We had to go through a pre-screening process through our Congressperson and the security was pretty tight at the Pentagon, as one can imagine it would be, but it was worth it. The tour was given... more

On a recent trip to DC, I was able to take a tour of the Pentagon because a co-worker has an inside connection. It's really neat to see what it's like from the inside -- lots of exhibits along the walls, historical paintings, photographs, etc. Didn't get to see DEFCON 5 Command Center though.... Ha! ;) We also got to... more
