We spent a wonderful half day with Tom telling stories about the people who wintered at Valley Forge with George Washington while we drove around and walked through some original and re-created buildings on site. Super informational and very interesting!

The Valley Forge Tour was great! James was very knowledgeable about the site and shared it's history in an engaging way. He have us a lot of the history on the ride to the site (while expertly driving in the crazy Philly traffic). When we got to the site, he gave us time at the Visitors Center before getting back in the van for more info and stops throughout the park. On the way back, he told us a lot about Philadelphia's history and places of interest, including suggestions for more tourist spots and restaurants. We really enjoyed the tour and James' unique, passionate spin on everything.
