The tour was wonderful. Scott P. provided a very comfortable and knowledgeable experience and made the trip very efficient as we started from the farthest part from our hotel, Amish country, then came back to Philadelphia historic sights. Throughout the journey Scott provided great insight and conversation and I would highly recommend this tour.

We really enjoyed Scott’s attention to detail and patience. Our guide in the Amish county, Fay was also fantastic.

This tour was amazing. Due to bad weather the tour had to be postponed for a day. Scott was really accommodating. He knew his way around and showed us things that we would never have seen on our own. Long day, but a really great day. Would highly recommend this tour.
