Brenda was a great tour guide that was able to answer all the questions and tell interesting stories.

We felt very fortunate to have invested in this tour; Donna, our tour guide, knew these buildings well, as well as her American History, and patiently paced us through the best of the exhibits, taking time where it was needed. Highly recommended!
