Not what we expected
NandDGreat history lesson, but was disappointed to not enter any of the historical sites. Our guide was very knowledgable and likable, but it was a long time to stand still in the cold.
Good history tour!
TaraWe learned quite a bit of history with our guide and heard unique stories we might not have heard otherwise. Definitely a great experience if you’re looking for an historical deep-dive into the history of our country as well as Philadelphia.
