We had the most fabulous day! John was our tour guide and was simply fantastic? My daughter who is turning 17 even commented that he is such a great teacher! He did a lot of important things and our day was perfect.

We were very fortunate to have John for a guide. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He taught us a lot about the history and meaning of the site. He also knew how to get us thru the lines quickly, or to the best place for viewing or pictures. Canā€™t recommend it highly enough!
