Annemarie was a fantastic guide! Super knowledgable and was able to answer all the random questions posed to her by my son. Definitely recommend.

We toured with Brenda Turner. She was simply amazing. Incredibly articulate, a great story teller and a real student of American history. I’ve done dozens of private tours all over the world and am usually not particularly impressed. This woman was incredible and kept my attention for the whole time. I couldn’t believe how much she knew and how captivating her descriptions were You should absolutely insist on having her take you on this tour. Loved it!!
