Just did the Founding Fathers tour—my thoughts!

I went on the City Sightseeing Walking Tour last weekend and wow, it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and we got to see Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, plus so much more. I loved learning about Betsy Ross and visiting her house—totally worth it! Perfect for history buffs or anyone visiting Philly for the first time. Highly recommend it as a gift for my parents!

Considering this walking tour as a gift—thoughts?

I’m thinking about getting the City Sightseeing Walking Tour for my sister’s birthday since she loves history. Has anyone done it recently? Just want to know if it’s worth it or if there are other experiences I should consider. Any tips would help!
