Timā€™s down to earth approach to his tours was very refreshing. It felt like he was a longtime friend showing us around, open to all questions; he truly transported us to 18th century Philadelphia. Warm thanks, Moreno Family (Spain)

We enjoyed Timā€™s narrative as he walked our group through the Old City. Tim is really proud of Philadelphiaā€™s history and values. His narrative is both interesting and meaningful. The walking pace is good for all ages. Gained a new appreciation for the City of Brotherly Love.

We took Timā€™s tour in Philly today. He was so knowledgeable and kept us all intrigued throughout the tour. He covered a lot of ground in a short amount of time and was full of lots of historic information. We had a wide range of ages from 18-76 and we all agreed it was a perfect tour!
