Our guide Ted, was fantastic. His knowledge and enthusiasm was contagious. Rain or shine, it is worth the tour

Worst tour We ever had. We started outside the visitor center and was there for a hr.(standing in the cold) We than walked about 100 yards and set down for another hr. Two hrs later we went to a graveyard for a 1/2 hour. We were the sixth couple to leave before it was over. We only had three days in Philadelphia we would have loved to see some sites on this tour. Our guide was nice but this is by far the worst. We were better off on our own instead of wasting our money on this...

Joe was our guide for the day. He was a good story teller who told us about the serial killers of Philly. We had a nice walk thought historic Philadelphia and got a chance to see many landmarks and learned about the architecture of the city on Elfreth's Alley. The tour ended in Victoria's English pub for a brew. Perfect ending on a hot day! I would recommend this tour. Margo ;)
