Knowledgeable Guide & Engaging Tour! - I had such a fantastic tour experience with our guide Sarah. Time flew by! We walked through the suffrage movement and listened to engaging stories that humanized influential historical figures. I can get lost in names and dates, but Sarah was great at providing context and shared interesting images to keep us on track. She was so knowledgeable and answered our many many questions. Really grateful to learn more about the women who dedicated their time and resources to establish the rights I get to enjoy today ❤️ Would strongly recommend!
