Not only did Aaron engage our boys and adapt to their interests, but he also shared details about objects that went beyond what was posted on the exhibits. Despite being jetlagged, we weren't ready for the tour to end.

This tour was perfect for us to get a glimpse of the highlights at the museum. Tons of people, but Roberta knew exactly where to go to show us the top artifacts. For my 12 year old, the Rosetta Stone was okay, but the mummies!! Amazing! Lots of people to navigate, but Roberta knew where to stand so she could tell us lots of history and explain things, while still close enough to see things. Tweenagers are tough crowds, but Roberta handled it like a champ! Can recommend highly!
