    Meg was our tour guide and she was excellent with getting us over to see the documents, giving us every morsel of history in a fun way and was very engaging. Would definitely recommend a tour with her again!

    The tour was good and informative. We thought we would be waiting for our tour guide outside the Archives, only to find out that that we had to meet at their office and then we walked back to the Archives. Seems like it would have been better to meet our guide at the site of the tour.

  • Great tour!

    We really enjoyed our tour! Our tour guide, Mona, was so knowledgeable and really enhance pad the experience of visiting the archives. We wouldn’t have gotten nearly as much out of it without her explanations and things to notice. We saw the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and countless other impressive historical documents. Highly recommend visiting the archives with a tour guide.
