Jamie_C, Jul 2026

Good small group tour

Excellent short small group (we had six) tour of the new Declaration of Independence exhibit and then we were free to see the rest of the museum. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We were the only people in the museum, which was very nice.

Must see in Philly

Great experience for anyone interested in an in depth experience on the revolutionary war. Prepare to spend at least a day. We arrived at 11 and stayed until 6 and still didn't see everything.

This tour gives me unique...

This tour gives me unique experience of an undisturbed tour. This young museum features well designed curation, which brings to life the vital chapters of the revolution. I am lucky to be the only guest of this tour. But the guide's services is absolutely undiscounted. She helps me understand both the big picture and small details of the American history.
