We had an amazing experience on the Revolution and Founding Fathers walking tour with Bill today. His extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling truly brought history to life. Bill's professionalism and warmth made the tour enjoyable for everyone. Having participated in various historical tours, I can confidently say that Bill is one of the most informative guides I've encountered. Thank you for the pretzels and a fantastic time learning about our history. We will definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.
