Just did the Valley Forge self-guided tour and loved it!

I booked the Valley Forge self-guided driving tour for my family last weekend. Seriously, it was such a cool way to learn about the Revolutionary War! The audio guide was super engaging, and we could go at our own pace. We spent about 3 hours there including stops for snacks. Can’t believe it was free! Highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore history with friends or family.

Thinking of gifting the Valley Forge tour — any thoughts?

I’m considering getting the Valley Forge self-guided tour experience for my history-loving dad's birthday. He’s always talking about the American Revolution! Is this a good idea for someone who’s not super tech-savvy? I think he’d love hearing the stories, but I’m worried he’ll struggle with the app.
