Wendy was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly and great with kids. We had our 7 and 5 year olds and she really made sure they were interested and engaged the whole time. I was expecting that from my 7 year old, but the 5 year old is already a gamble - Wendy managed to catch his attention early on and he did great. We all learned a lot and enjoyed our afternoon in Philly!
Informative and fun. Easy to attend. Wendy's great with kids and directing the group through the streets. The tour did not include inside Independence Hall, just fyi.
Was a really great and educational tour. Wendy was so good with the kids and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the city’s history. Would definitely recommend!
Wendy was amazing. Our kids stayed intrigued and included the whole tour. We learned so much and had a blast!
We were hoping for a tour that would keep our kids interested, but this exceeded all our expectations! Wendy was an phenomenal tour guide. She tailored the experience brilliantly to the kids' level, keeping them involved, asking great questions, and making the history fun rather than overwhelming. It was the perfect blend of educational and entertaining for the whole family. Thank you, Wendy, for making our time in Philly so special!
Wendy was great! Very informative and good for kids.
