Q&A

Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Philadelphia and Princeton University tour?

A: There's no strict minimum age for the tour, but it’s generally good for ages 8 and up, especially since there’s a fair bit of walking involved. Younger kids might get tired, and some of the history may not hold their attention. Just make sure they can handle the walking part, and it should be great!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Any recommendations?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfy shoes since you'll be walking a lot, especially on cobblestone streets in Old City and Princeton's campus. I’d recommend dressing in layers. It can get warm walking around, but some buildings might be chilly. And don’t forget your sunscreen if it’s sunny!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is severe, they usually offer a reschedule option. I'd recommend checking their policy when you book. Just reach out to Royal City Tours ahead of time if you're concerned about the forecast. They’re generally very accommodating!
