A Few Comments on the tours from our guests...

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the Civil War walking tour... It was like watching a play with the added benefit of being able to interact with the performers… It was not just entertaining, it was educational as well. The acting was great--thoroughly enjoyable!
Thanks. S. Schultz

I greatly enjoyed your group's performance. We had such a good time and simply could not help ourselves interacting. I was very impressed with the amount of educational information you were able to amass and present in an entirely entertaining venue… (The time) went by very quickly and left me wanting more.
Regards, TR Brown

You and your tales of DC were a hit with myself and family. "Thank you." As we ventured through the city for several days after… my family would bring up factors they remembered from our tour with you.

In December, 2005, Charles Dickens great, great grandson, Gerald Dickens played a little part in "A Dickens of a Tour". He had high praise for us and said that Dickens would have been delighted at this enterprise. We think you'll agree!
