Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum Tours offer guided access to one of the most visited museums in Washington DC, holding the largest collection of historic aircraft and spacecraft in the world. The museum, part of the Smithsonian Institution, opened on the National Mall in 1976 and spans galleries covering powered flight, space exploration, and aviation history.

Guided tours move through key galleries including those dedicated to the Wright Brothers' Flyer, the Apollo 11 command module Columbia, and the Hubble Space Telescope.
