Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids, and are there any age restrictions?

A: The tour is generally suitable for all ages, but it's best for older kids who can enjoy the historical context. There's no official age restriction, so if your kids are into history, they might have a blast! Just keep in mind some spots might not hold their attention for too long.

Q: Can you do this tour if it's raining? What do you recommend wearing?

A: Yes, you can still do the tour in the rain! Just wear a good rain jacket and comfortable shoes. The audio guide has a lot of great info to keep you engaged even if the weather isn't perfect. Plus, some of the sites look pretty cool when it's a little wet!

Q: How easy is it to park near the starting point of the tour?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky in Old City Philly, especially on weekends. There are some garages nearby, but street parking is limited. I recommend checking out the parking app beforehand to find the best spots. Also, consider arriving a bit early to find a place.

Just did the self-guided audio tour in Philly!

I recently did 'The Road to Revolution' audio tour, and it was awesome! I loved that I could go at my own pace, and the stories about Franklin and Hamilton were super engaging. The app worked great, and I appreciated the offline access. Definitely recommend it for anyone curious about Philly's history!

Thinking about gifting the audio tour, thoughts?

I'm considering this self-guided tour as a gift for my parents. They love history, especially the founding fathers stuff. Has anyone done it with older folks? I wonder if they'll find it interesting enough to keep them engaged for the whole time.
