The museum’s were excellent, especially Jamestown! I had no guide, just went around myself, there were plenty of docents to explain anything. I did have an issue with my AR tickets. I was given a stub at Jamestown & the worker at the American Rev Museum wouldn’t accept them. Luckily I was with Military Veterans so I didn’t have to pay twice. I was expecting more from the AR museum, it seemed a bit lacking but what was there was well explained.

What a treat! Patrick was delightful; knowledgeable, personable, humorous. The 1 1/2 hour walking tour was just the right time as well. I highly recommend this program!

Wonderful! Loved the Ruth Carter exhibit. My family had a great time!
