This was a great tour...... - This was a great tour... We went all over Philadelphia and my guide was extremely knowledgeable and not only did I learn history, I also learned about architecture too. I would highly recommend this tour. I wouldn't take small kids as they might not find it interesting, and it is long. However, older kids would probably do well.
