Joey was a kind, extremely knowledgeable tour guide who highlighted so many important parts of the city that often go unnoticed. I learned a lot about the history of Philadelphia while also challenging many of my previous misconceptions. I highly recommend this tour for new visitors to the city, and long-time residents. Lots to learn for everyone!

I did the Philly Classic tour, but I would recommend anything that they offer. Joey is armed with an abundance of anecdotes that shed light on the history of where you are, and you will come to associate historic Philadelphia with people that aren't necessarily honored with monuments.
