Mr Cvetkovic is a gem. I was looking for a tour of Philadelphia that could be done in half a day. He customized the tour to hit items that were of historical interest as well as the hidden gems. We did not want to do much walking, so he arranged to have a car pick us up so he could point out important landmarks for us. Our idea was to see as much as we could within 4 hours...history, pop culture, murals, everything. No wonder this man is the President of the Tour Guide association!! He spoiled us!!!

We utilized Mr. Cvetkovic's services with the desire to learn as much about Philadelphia history a half-day excursion could offer. He was very punctual in meeting at our hotel and we immediately began on our knowledge based journey. Make no mistake, there are many other tour opportunities available but for the nominal price and convenience of hiring your own guide, this decision is simple. Make Nick Cvetkovic Tours part of your Philadelphia experience and maximize your knowledge after listening to his. There is so much to learn about Philadelphia, a hop-on, hop-off bus just will not do the city, or your learning, any justice whatsoever. Thank you, Mr. Cvetkovic. We absolutely loved having you as our Professional Tour Guide.

I was looking for info about German immigrants for pre-revolutionary Philadelphia as I researched a book--Nick Cvetkovic was a goldmine! He did all kinds of behind-the-scenes work for me, including copying old maps and drawings for me. The actual walking tour was outstanding! What impressed me so much was that Nick was very focused on what I was looking for--he didn't waver off my research topic throughout the entire 2 hour tour. I can't recommend Nick highly enough. He went above and beyond to make that time in Philadelphia incredibly valuable for me. Worth every penny!
