We felt like time travelers! Six adults from Michigan with little recall of school days history class were mesmerized by Mitch as Ben Franklin! We experienced as close to living history as possible! Thanks Mitch! 5 Stars all the way!

I was visiting Philly for the first time with my friend, Ben (aka Mitchell) was the BEST tour guide. From humor, to getting to know us personally, and teaching me so much about history, I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone! We already both have plans to bring our families back for a tour. (:

This was an amazing tour! We were both highly entertained and very informed. Ben Franklin was one of the best tour guides we have ever had. We were enthralled, hanging off his every word. We really felt like the Mr. Franklin was walking us around the streets of Old Philadelphia. Our tour even ran over a bit and we didn't notice, we were enjoying ourselves so much. You must book Ben Franklin for your tour of Philadelphia. You will have a great time and learn so much!
