A beautiful place to see! - James was an incredible guide! From the moment my son (12) and I met him, it was apparent how knowledgeable he was. All of our questions and curiosities were answered and we left feeling like we truly got to understand what it would have been like to have been there in 1777 - 1778. The huts, buildings, and remnants of defenses were wonderful to see and explore. Valley Forge itself is now a beautiful place to see. It's a very large property to explore - we couldn't have done it as well or as thorough without James.

Excellent tour! 5 Stars! - Tom was hands down, the best your guide we have ever had! The trip was fascinating, he brought it all to life for us. His breath and depth of knowledge not only about Valley Forge, but the men and events of the Revolutionary wars was what made the trip so interesting. There wasn’t a question he couldn’t answer, all was explained logically, with an easy manner. Never did it sound like he had memorized a script. He clearly has a genuine passion for the topic, and area, and shares if freely. The small group was a great way to go. The van was clean and comfortable. I would urge anyone to take this tour.

Great family experience - This was an amazing tour. Adam did a fabulous job going into detail about all of his knowledge on Valley Forge. He answered all of our questions with no hesitation. This tour made me realize how much the experience changes when you have a tour guide vs reading everything through a pamphlet. I highly recommend this tour.

Valley Forge Review - Dale did a superb job of navigating the Philly streets and highways while providing excellent background information. Also, he did an excellent job of providing appropriate information about Valley Forge. Finally, his personality was a perfect match for us.

Great Valley Forge history tour!!! - Great tour and conversation with our guide. She did a great job revealing all aspects of Valley Forge history, daily life, struggles for revolutionary army’s training and survival after very rough start of 3 battle losses against British troops in the early days of 8 year revolutionary war against British rule.

Perfect visit to Valley Forge - We spent a wonderful half day with Tom telling stories about the people who wintered at Valley Forge with George Washington while we drove around and walked through some original and re-created buildings on site. Super informational and very interesting!

Great Experience! - The Valley Forge Tour was great! James was very knowledgeable about the site and shared it's history in an engaging way. He have us a lot of the history on the ride to the site (while expertly driving in the crazy Philly traffic). When we got to the site, he gave us time at the Visitors Center before getting back in the van for more info and stops throughout the park. On the way back, he told us a lot about Philadelphia's history and places of interest, including suggestions for more tourist spots and restaurants. We really enjoyed the tour and James' unique, passionate spin on everything.
