Fun tour to take at night when there's no crowd in the area. Get to enjoy the sights and hear some interesting history about our Founding Fathers that you don't hear from history books. Our guide was nice and had some interesting stories to tell. It is a great tour and very peaceful and enjoyable.

Our tour guide was great, very knowledgeable with history. We had a great moment at one of the stops. Everyone froze while the old door lock of this circa 1700's row house started creaking. Silence among us, the house was completely dark inside. Then out came a security guard! Our ghost. Haha. Was a fun night.
