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 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!

The Walking Tour - Unfortunately, it wasn’t what we were expecting. We were planning on going into Independence Hall to see where the Declaration was signed. The speaker was informative about the other aspects of the tour when it came to George Washington and Liberty Bell.

Not good - Our itinerary said we had tickets for entry into 6 different buildings and we went into one. Our guide was nice, but, not well informed. I really think i deserve a discount for the 4 tickets. First time I've been disappointed with your service
