Joey was super easy to talk to, knowledgeable about everything that came up (he clearly hadn't just memorized a script), tailored our tour to our interests, all great. Just the right amount of time spent, with recommendations for what to do with our remaining time in Philly. Highly recommend!

Joey was an excellent tour guide for our walking tour of Philadelphia. We discussed local history as well as the way different perspectives and stories are presented at historical sites. Joey is very knowledgeable and engaging. If you're looking for something more nuanced and stimulating than the conventional tours, this is for you.

We had a fabulous experience on the Philly Classic Tour! We walked all over the place and learned about historic figures we never knew about. Our tour guide was informative, thoughtful, and fun to spend time with. My 10-year old and 8-year old said they couldn’t have imagined a better experience!
