Very informative and entertaining information. Enjoyed it very much. We saw twice as much as my last visit. Very knowledgeable on all major players of the period

Had a wonderful time visiting the Valley Forge, learned a lot about the history of the site and the roles of some of the key players. So if you're interested in that, this is a good half-day tour. My guide was Dale, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and a safe driver. Since I was the only one on the tour, he was flexible enough to also drop me off at the museum of the American Revolution so I could also see Washington's tent and other items related to the Valley Forge history.

Great! Dr. James has a freaking PhD and gave a lecture like he does! So good. Answered every question I had. Made a memorable experience for my mom and sister!

We spent a beautiful day with Sandra exploring the Douro Valley. She was fun and informative during our tours of 2 wineries, a great, authentic lunch and a quick boat ride. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the area and the wines produced. Highly recommended!

Robert_H

Excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and articulate. We enjoyed the tour very much. We were surprised by some of the information as we thought Valley Forge had been a Battlefield. We especially enjoyed visiting Washington's headquarters.

First and foremost, I need to give our tour guide, Tom, a shout out. My wife and I have been on other tours before, but he was excellent! He was very welcoming when we arrived to the pick up spot, and while we were driving to the destination, gave us some interesting facts and information about the city, and pointed out some historical places along the way. While at Valley Forge, I was amazed at the amount of knowledge he had about how George Washington and the continental army lived while staying there. You can tell how much he enjoys his job and sharing his knowledge of history with others. As far as the tour itself, we walked through the visitors center and got to see the exhibits on display. We also drove through the park and saw replicas of the housing that the army stayed in. The views throughout the park were incredible! My wife and I were just in awe of the historical ground we were walking on. This is definitely a must do tour if anyone is in the Philadelphia area!

I stood in the cold for almost 45 minutes at a precise location where the vendor indicated I would be picked up. They never showed. But what is worse When I asked for a refund because of what didn’t happen, they said unfortunately we cannot refund your money. That is BS and very unfair. Never use this tour unless you want to be ripped off.

Laura was literally the best tour guide we have ever had! My husband and myself did actually take this tour before but with Laura we learned so much more!

Our guide Dale was a walking encyclopedia who really brought the experience to life for our group. The soldiers huts, Washington chapel, and the overall landscape was amazing to witness first hand.
