Excellent tour, somewhat uncomfortable due to broken A/C on the bus. Guide was very nice. Prepare to walk at each stop
Annemarie was a pleasure and incredibly knowledgeable. She met us outside and took us through the whole museum in a way that was digestible and enjoyable. Highly recommend her!
Maribeth shares not just the history but always offered wonderful and often funny stories as we perused the rooms. We learned so much and enjoyed our time with Maribeth thoroughly! My husband and I highly recommend her tours!
Great service. Enjoyed the whole experience.
Very knowledgeable guide. The museum is so large that it was nice having a guide help us hit the highlights in 2 1/2 hours.
Great experience with both fun and historical knowledge. Brenda has an expansive historical awareness that she shared in a captivating way. We left with an understanding of American history and innumerable great stories of our past.
Meghan was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of it. She was able to answer all our of questions and provide use with so much information It was such a rewarding experience
Annemarie did a great job taking us through the museum and giving us information we otherwise would not have known about the exhibits. We enjoyed the museum far more than if we had done a self tour.
This was incredible. Christopher was a great guide....he knew so much and bought lots of energy and fun to the tour as well as all of his knowledge. Couldn't have been happier with this. 10/10 recommend.
Ryan was amazing! Highly recommended! Very personal and has the knowledge! Will look for more tours with Ryan in the near future!
