My tour guide was Norm Danis. On a Monday morning, it ended up being a private tour! We covered a lot of ground, and I learned a lot!

If you are at all interested in the history of our nation, take this tour. We learned so much about the place of Philadelphia in the founding of our nation. Our tour guide Clark was the best. We feel like we took a trip back in time. The pace was good, the amount of walking was good, just a tour that should be a must for everyone.
