Wonderful time

Published on Feb, 2025

My husband and I had a wonderful time. We truly appreciate Bill withstanding the cold weather to give us an awesome tour!!!

Our tour was great because of Bill!

Published on Feb, 2025

Bill was very knowledgeable. We learned so much from his tour today. His love of both his city and history was very apparent. I liked that he remembered my grandson’s name! After the tour he gave us recommendations which we found helpful!

Great historical presentation

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent historical perspective by Kyle who adapted his basic talk to a more advanced one when he realized we already knew a lot of history. His performances of James Madison were both entertaining and informative. Highly recommend his 2 hour tour.

A very informative and worthwhile experience

Published on Jan, 2025

When you take a history tour, you’re always hoping that your guide will be very knowledgeable, very well-prepared, passionate about his/her subject, and fun to be with. Kyle was all of the above as our guide for the Founders tour. His approach — which included focusing on the huge obstacles that made success of founding our nation unlikely— was clear and effective. Kyle has obviously given a lot of thought to how to present a lot of important information in a relatively short period of time. He also had some clever devices to keep us engaged. I have to warn tourgoers, however, that it somewhat painful to hear about the brilliance and sacrifices of our founders, and the careful thought given to how to establish a republic that would include sufficient checks and balances, given the efforts underway by the current administration to empower the executive branch. The tour caused me to have some strong emotions. Nonetheless, I am very glad to have had the experience.

We are talking aces!

Very knowledgeable, efficient, and entertaining. I would go on any tour led by Kyle Jenks. He must have a background in theatre. The man is an ace.
