*On the Sunday, March 29th, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This week, Mark relives his time last week as a citizen lobbyist in Washington, DC, and shares a host of tips on hotels, taxis, flights and more, to make you a smarter traveler on your next trip to our nation's capital.

Gwen Duncan stops by to tell us about a unique castle in the Bay Area we're betting you're never heard of. She'll tell you how you can get an exclusive tour, or [follow this link. ](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksckioy5x58gnq9/top%205%20reasons%20to%20book%20with%20a%20travel%20agent.docx?dl=0)

In the show's "save the best for last" segment, we tell you about a unique piece of [Disneyland memorabilia for sale](http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/21/travel/disney-monorail-ebay-feat/index.html), and share a [story about the Alaska airline employee](http://roadwarriorvoices.com/2015/03/24/alaska-airlines-employee-uses-her-own-credit-card-to-get-stranded-delta-passenger-home/) who stepped in and bought a ticket for a Delta passenger, when Delta wouldn't get her home. A pretty cool way of paying it forward.

Finally, we replay an interview with Chris Hart, a man of many trains. Chris' interview was interrupted by a power outage when it first ran a few weeks ago. From the famous "[Skunk Train](http://skunktrain.com/)" to a [dinner train](http://sierradinnertrain.com/#) right in our own backyard, Chris has the rundown.
