This museum is So Much More than the Constitution and Declaration of Independence! You could easily spend several hours here and having a knowledgeable guide to hit the highlights was Fantastic. Rebecca really knew her history and was very dramatic in telling the story behind many great documents and paintings etc. Highly recommend!

Great tour
We are so glad we did this guided tour rather than attempting to navigate the Archives by ourselves. Our guide, Rebecca, was an awesome historian who made the documents come alive and knew just which ones to highlight. She was genuinely enthusiastic and brought humor to the history as well. Highly recommend.

Great way to relax on a boat, either on top of the deck or down below in the air conditioning! My husband and I had a great time visiting all the different ports in one day and still had time to get to our concert that evening!

Counting Our Lucky Stars That Eddie Was Our Guide!
Eddie was fantastic! His knowledge of both past and recent history, as well as current events, was truly encyclopedic. Yet he presented everything through a thoughtful, humanistic lens that made the stories come alive.His background as a middle school educator was evident in his ability to engage my 13 and almost 15 year old sons. They were captivated throughout the tour and, completely unprompted, both remarked on how excellent it was.Eddie also suggested the perfect amount of time to spend at each stop. We never felt rushed, yet there was never a dull moment. I cannot recommend Eddie highly enough!
