Excellent and knowledgeable guide - James was the best tour guide! It was just me on the tour so I felt I had a really personalized experience. He is a history professor and so incredibly knowledgeable about not only Valley Forge but also any historical event. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend!

Highly recommend this tour! - We had a great experience! Our guide Tom was very knowledgeable about Valley Forge and the Presidents and much more. We would not have gotten half the experience had we visited on our own. Well worth it.

Liked the tour - Had a wonderful time visiting the Valley Forge, learned a lot about the history of the site and the roles of some of the key players. So if you're interested in that, this is a good half-day tour. My guide was Dale, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and a safe driver. Since I was the only one on the tour, he was flexible enough to also drop me off at the museum of the American Revolution so I could also see Washington's tent and other items related to the Valley Forge history.
