Wendy made our tour super engaging for my 9 year old. She asked age appropriate questions and explained historical events in a way that connected with my kid. We had a great time on our tour and highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a tour with young kids!

kids loved it

Annmarie_S, Apr 2026

went on this tour with kids ages 8,11, and 12. The tour guide Wendy was great and really engaged the kids. When we were almost finished after walking around for 1.5 hours the kids were disappointed when we said it was almost over.

This is a fun and very informative tour geared for children and adults. Wendy is engaged with the children, having the children think and participate in a non pressured way. I saw many things I have never seen before in Philadelphia. The directions for the meeting point are a little vague. The Starbuck’s meeting point is at the corner of the National Constitution Center, 6th and Arch Street.

Great historical tour for kids (and adults).

GEORGE_K, Apr 2026

Great tour, very informative. Our guide made it fun for the kids with imaginative narrative about the historical events. Our kids loved it!

Great tour that my kids...

Great tour that my kids enjoyed and also learned a lot from. The tour guide kept them engaged and I would recommend to other families for sure!

The perfect history lesson for kids and families!

This tour was perfect for kids!!! Wendy was so knowledgeable and really engaged our children (5 and 7), despite them being tired from traveling. The tour hit all the highlights, as well as some sites we would never have found on our own. Ending at the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall was perfect. We all walked away with new knowledge, thanks to Wendy and the NPS Rangers we met along the way.
