Our guide Maria was very knowledgable and kept the tour engaging and informative. The tour was well paced and she offered opportunities to enjoy refreshments along the way. She also assisted us with purchasing admission tickets to historic sites and recommended other activities for our next day.

My guide, Patrick, was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding Philadelphia history, art and architecture. I was on the tour by myself and he tailored the tour to my interests. He was very patient with my constant questions. He was a very pleasant and well informed informed guide, who provided a memorable afternoon in historic Philadelphia. I highly recommend this tour (and ask for Patrick)!

We booked this tour as part of our first Philadelphia visit - and it was so good! 90 min through the historic city of Philadelphia together with our guide Sheamus. He was very knowledgeable and gave a good tour!
