The host is very informative, revealing many historical facts. No matter the crowd size the host projects his voice well, so everyone can hear him. The host is entertaining as well as informative about the areas he tours. The tours are fun for all ages!

At about 45 minutes into the tour I looked down to see how much time had passed and I was surprised and disappointed that it was almost over already. The content and the tour guide were both incredibly engaging. I’ve already recommended the tour to other people!

Even though I live nearby and walk the park often, I learned so much about the history of the area

I would have had 5 stars if we ran into some ghosts
Overall, we had a great time and learned a lot about Fort Steilacoom. Who knew! It's was also a sad place where people were forgotten. You could definitely feel that sadness. I'm glad that Pretty Gritty tours is bringing them to light so they can rest knowing that they haven't been forgotten.
