Wonderful Tour for Families with Kids - Wonderful historical tour of Philly and great for our 10 year old son. My husband and I found it very interesting as well. It was very hot that day but the walk was still very doable for adults and kids alike.

Kids American Revolution Tour in Philadelphia - We loved our tour with Wendy during the Historic Philly for Kids on Wednesday the 15th of July. It was very hot but she kept us in the shade and was able to speak to all the kids on the same level and answer questions for adults. We got to learn about some of the more hidden spots in Philadelphia and how they related to the American Revolution. The information we received about Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Betsy Ross, and many of the other Founding Fathers was fantastic. How they lived, what they did in Philadelphia and all of the Philly Firsts were really cool. I definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants their kids to learn more about our nations history. Wendy was a wealth of knowledge and full of stories.
