    Chris was a wealth of knowledge about the history of the presidents. What we saw was awesome, but there was a lot of walking past the modern city to get to the few historic buildings. Our favorite part was the thwarted assassination attempt on President Truman's life. None of us had ever heard this story. Thank you!

    Had solo tour as members of my party passed due to the heat.the path of Kennedy’s funeral March was moving, the steps of St Matthews where John-John gave his salute was touching.
    Great tour filled with fun and funny info!

    Chris was a great guide & was super friendly and entertaining! He was very knowledgeable and made the whole experience very enjoyable. We loved getting the inside scoop about former presidents and hearing stories that are not well known. The info about Andrew Jackson being a bit of a "psycho" was probably my favorite! So funny and realistic!
    Great for all
