We had Toni as our guide of Philadelphia as Nick moved us to her as he took another tour. She is charming and knows everything about the area. We chose the extended tour and it was well worth it. She adapted quickly to what we wanted to see. I’m so happy we had Toni for our tour and would recommend her to anyone.

Nick was great at sharing the history of Philadelphia to our two boys ages 7 and 10. He also added a nice personal touch with two historical coloring books and crayons for each kid.
