Kayla – United States

Great value for the price and Tom (our guide) was phenomenal - we weren't able to find the actual meeting point (what's on the site/confirmation email is the wrong directions/address) and the number we called was extremely helpful and friendly and Tom even texted us to make sure we knew where we were going before starting the tour without us

S
Scott – United States

Tom did an excellent job and had so many great stories about the building and time period. He knew the origin of so many sayings we still use today. It was so fun and informative!
