Went on this tour as a date with my boyfriend who loves history. We had Jim as a tour guide and he was great. He shared stories in an engaging was and made it family friendly on our "family tour" for kids. Would recommend this event.

The tour was fantastic, and we learned so much. The guide provided an excellent overview of what the Founding Fathers accomplished during that period and took us to the exact historical locations. We highly recommend visiting the Liberty Bell and Constitution Hall either right before or after the tour for a complete experience. Definitely worth the price! One note: the meeting point was a bit confusing. The instructions mentioned waiting at the side doors of the visitor center, but the actual location was right in front of the main entrance.

I took a group of 10 high school students on this tour and it was the talk of our trip. We loved our guide Kyle and he really brought the high schoolers into the story and was very interactive. We loved it!
