Q&A

Q: Is this tour good for kids, or is it mostly for adults?

A: It’s family-friendly! The tour is designed to be engaging for all ages, and kids will enjoy learning about the history of Philadelphia. Just keep in mind that some of the historical topics might be more interesting for older kids, but younger ones can still enjoy the sights and stories. Make sure they’re ready to walk for about 2 hours though!

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Is it mostly on paved paths?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since there will be some walking on cobblestones and uneven paths. Layered clothing is a good idea because the weather can change quickly in Philly. It’s mostly on the streets, but you’ll also visit some historical sites that might have different terrains. Just be ready for a bit of adventure!

Q: What happens if it rains? Is there a rescheduling policy?

A: If it rains, the tour might still run, but if the weather is really bad, they will reschedule you. They usually let you know 24-48 hours in advance if there’s a chance the tour will be canceled. Just keep an eye on your email after booking!

Just got back from the Colonial Philly Walking Tour - it was awesome!

I went on the Discovering Colonial Philadelphia tour last weekend and honestly, it was such a great experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made all the history come alive. We saw the Liberty Bell and a ton of beautiful old buildings. If you’re thinking of gifting this, it’s perfect for anyone who loves history! Just a heads up, wear comfy shoes because you will be walking a lot.

Thinking of gifting this walking tour - anyone tried it?

I’m looking for a unique gift for my history-buff brother and found this Small-Group Discovering Colonial Philadelphia tour. Has anyone experienced it? I wonder about the group size and if it gets crowded. Also, is there a lot of standing involved? My brother has a knee issue.
