Absolutely amazing. Went in the winter and saw Valley Forge as the continental army would've back then with the snow and freezing cold. Adam was an amazing guide, very friendly and had extensive knowledge not only about Valley Forge but all aspect of the revolutionary war. I thought I knew a lot, but Adam managed to fill in gaps of my knowledge. 11/10. Would definitely recommend, especially if you have a passion for history and the revolutionary war.

This was a very enjoyable tour of the historical park where George Washington camped with his troops in the Revolutionary War. Our tour guide James gave a compelling narrative of the military history leading up to and following the Valley Forge encampment. The tour was fascinating and thought provoking as he connected the historical forces at play, the human experience of the revolutionary soldiers and larger themes that exist in the present day. Valley Forge is a place of great natural beauty and the tour offered many chances to appreciate the sights and surrounding countryside. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide if you’re in the area!
