Andrew is great!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. The only bad thing I could say was it was hard to hear sometimes. I think he would benefit with a speaker of some kind. Two thumbs upππΌππΌ

My Friend and I took the Historical Independence Walking tour with Kyle. It was very informative and fun. Kyle is well read about the history and shared stories about individuals and life at that time. Would recommend Kyle as a tour guide..

This was the best tour we've done on this US holiday. Andrew not only gave us interesting information delivered in an easy to understand way, but he also answered all of my questions. He made history come alive for us. Understanding what led up to the revolution was as important as what came afterwards.
-
This was one of the most interesting and informative tours we've ever done. So much personal information about the major players and what led up to the fight for independence from England which really filled out our limited knowledge. We got so much more out of this experience due to our wonderful guide Andrew. Who answered all of my endless questions.
