Engaging private(!) tour without the crowds

Wound up as a private tour for our family of four before the museum opened to the public. Truly felt like we had the whole museum to ourselves! Engaging guide, Jonah, kept our group’s interest throughout (including 13 & 14 year olds). Museum has nice interactive components and we were able to go back to revisit areas we wanted to see again plus explore the special exhibition on the Declaration after the tour. If you’d like a more private experience without the crowds, I’d highly recommend this tour!

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.

Great visit for cults and interested teens

We live in Philadelphia, but the museum of the American Revolution has been on our list for a long time. We enjoyed it very much. Not for a young kids, though it’s a lot of reading and not much that they would appreciate. We are history nerd so, it was perfect for us

So informative and Interesting. Do not miss this museum on your trip to Philadelphia. Great for all ages.

It was so nice having access to the Museum before it opened to the public. My guide was very knowledgeable and it was like getting a refresher course on the history of the Revolutionary War. I was fortunate to have a private tour. The entire staff at the Museum was so friendly. Highly recommend this tour for any age.

An extraordinary educational experience!

This museum was amazing, with wonderful exhibits that really told the story of the American Revolution in depth and from different perspectives. It is well worth spending four or more hours to walk through, study the information, and see the care with which the "story" behind the revolution was carefully detailed. We came away with a better understanding of this part of the country's history.
