Great tour! - Incredibly informative tour. Despite the story the site is beautiful. Makes you realize how close we came to never being the USA. Jason was fantastic, provided great recommendations, and went above and beyond to make our day better.

Wonderful experience! - We really enjoyed our tour w/ Tom, our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, and we had a great time spending our morning and early afternoon together. There's good time to talk during the drive to/from Valley Forge, and we were able to get a good sense of the camp. Highly recommend!

Well worth the trip. - Rick was an incredible guide. His knowledge about Valley Forge, Washington and the Revolutionary War was impressive. What set his apart from others is his ability to answer questions and communicate. The tour itself was informative with multiple stops along the way. The only downside is that Washington’s residence is being updated, so no access to seeing inside until sometime next May. My son and I really loved seeing inside the huts. The visitor center also has lots of pertinent information.
