"Fun, even on a rainy day"

When out-of-town family was visiting in the fall, we went did the Ride the Ducks tour of Philadelphia.  Unfortunately, it was a cold, rainy afternoon, but we still had a fun time on our Duck Tour.  It was a decent way to see some of the sights without being soaking wet.  Even our 9 month old seemed to enjoy a ride on the Duck, and he certainly enjoyed the noisy quackers!  This is not a get on and off tour, which was fine for a rainy day like we had.  Fun, rowdy and a little bit informative, this is a nice way to see the sights.

"Explore Philadelphia by land and water"

This was a great way to see Philadelphia from a different perspective, as you get to not only drive around the historic section, but you get to experience it from the water as well.  You board a WWII amphibious landing vehicle and off you go.  The tour guides are silly, but you learn some interesting facts along the way.  You get a quaker, which they encourage you to quack from time to time.  My kids loved the quakers and still have and use them.  When you've walked enough, this tour is perfect.  I think Boston's Duck Tour is the best, but this is pretty good.
