Nick was a knowledgeable tour guide with an intimate knowledge of Philadelphia’s history and central neighborhoods. Walking with him was like visiting with an old friend who just happens to love showing off his city. And then it’s capped off with a 30-minute free tour inside Independence Hall! A worthwhile way to spend an afternoon in Philly!

The tour was great! Nick was sure to pick some spots that would peak the interest of my 6 year old. The whole family really enjoyed it.

I was hosting a meeting for 25 out-of- town business associates. I wanted them to get the best historical experience possible. I was referred to Nick and hired him for the tour. He did an amazing job. He took care of all of the necessary tickets and provided a perfect schedule of events. he was extremely knowledgeable and all of my guests had a great time. He even arranged for us to have lunch at Campos a local cheesesteak establishment. I would highly recommend Nick.
