Well Worth The Cost - Received a solo tour with Neal and it was well worth it. He definitely has a passion for what he does, and has a wealth of information about the sites. Because it was Lincoln's birthday, we stumbled accross a parade/ reenactment. Would definitely recommend.

Great history lesson - Neil taught us all about Washington’s house, Supreme Court, and unknown soldier in a park. He answered all of our questions and was very informative.

Great historic tour - Tour guide was great and very knowledgeable. Was happy to tailor the tour to our requests, but we didn’t have any! Group size was only 6, which worked well. A great way to get some understanding of the history of the city. Unfortunately some sites were inaccessible, due to the government shutdown at this time, but our guide had crafted a tour to combat this so we still had plenty to see!

Great, family friendly tour with Andrew - Andrew was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had our 21 month old with us, and Andrew patiently adapted the tour speed to accommodate some ‘toddler exploration’ of the squares and green spaces surrounding Independence Hall. Thank you!

OK but not as engaging as it should - Late starting and got a little confusing. Good content during the tour which ended up being a private tour. Delivery and engagement was not as good as we normally experience on these type of tours.
