Touching - To see the original documents you've only read about along with the how/when/why on display was a very emotional experience. Great!!!

I would recommend this tour! - Having a guide with a Master’s degree in history was invaluable. Faith knew so many important details of our founding documents. She was so clear and made sure we understood what we were seeing. She did this while ushering us about and getting us delivered on time for the U. S. Capitol tour, which was wonderful. I would recommend this tour!
