Great tour! Very well organized. Our tour guide took great care of us. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, and we felt like we had plenty of time to see everything. The boat ride was very enjoyable also - a bit cold up top, but plenty of room inside also. Even the bag lunch was good!

A terrific experience! Our tour guide Faith could not have been more gracious and knowledgeable. An historian by training, she made the past come alive with her storytelling ability and genuine interest in making the day both informative and fun! Walking in Washingtons footprints was an amazing experience. Highly recommended!
