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.

Pam did an amazing job giving me a tour today and I’m glad I chose Unscripted Tours for this experience. The location for the meet-up was very presentable and welcoming. Pam explained things very clearly and had a good understanding of the documents being presented. I highly recommend this tour for tourists in the city.
