Very informative and entertaining! - The guide, named Francis, was really great! He was very entertaining and very knowledgeable about all of the history. He was also friendly, and he did a great job of speaking clearly and loudly. And he also put on a great performance as one of the men from the 1700’s. Excellent tour!

Excellent Freedom Trial tour - Elaina led us on a fabulous tour of the Freedom Trial. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to all of the sights on the tour and even some extra ones! She was particularly helpful in assuring my wife on her disability scooter was always included. Our 90 minute tour lasted two and a quarter hours. Very well done, Elaina. Strongly recommended.
