Great Tour! - Wendy was a wonderful guide who did a great job engaging my almost teenagers (who were not otherwise super excited about history). She also I introduced us to the Historical Trading Cards given out by the park rangers. It was a great tour!

Great tour and host - Wendy was our tour guide and she was amazing! She was entertaining and clearly knowledgeable. The tour was a great length and we were able to see all we wanted and some we didn’t even know existed!

Highly recommended tour - We took a tour of Philadelphia’s historic Old City district with our guide Wendy, and it was a fantastic experience. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us some of the best spots in the area. We’re very happy we chose this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting. It was really informative, and well worth it!
