My 14 y/o son and I took this tour while on our mother-son Philly trip for the weekend of the fourth. Tom was a fantastic tour guide who is knowledgeable and passionate about history. With a small group on this tour, he was able to customize portions based upon our interests. I highly recommend this tour.

This was such a great tour! Perfect combo of venturing outside Philly and hearing fascinating stories from a pivot moment in the US history. We enjoyed every minute with our guide Andy who is just an amazingly gifted story-teller. He quickly recognized that while I'm really into history, my travel companion was not so much and he balanced the stories so that it worked perfect for both of us. The driving was short and smooth and the van really comfy. When you're in the area, go for it. You'll have a great time!!
