Our family of 2 parents and 2 young adults (early 20s) all enjoyed this walking tour that took us through beautiful Old City in Philadelphia, sprinkling jokes and magic tricks at each stop along the way. We saw little parks, landmarks and buildings we hadn't noticed before and enjoyed every minute. We always make a point of doing walking tours on all vacations in most cities we visit and this one was unique, clever and really fun.

This walk was the most fun that I had during my whole trip to Philly. The smaller group size made it so we were constantly being included in the magic tricks! It was interactive, funny, and educational all at the same time! I genuinely enjoyed the spirit of the performer so much and his magic tricks were unbelievable! I 100% recommend this!!

Where else can you see magic tricks while going on a walk? The magic tricks were fun to watch and were filled with surprises that you may not expect! Rob did a great job with the walk by providing a little of everything including comedy, magic, education, and history. The length of the walk was a bit over an hour which went by very quickly. The walk took place in Old City and covered a variety of interesting places. Whether you're a first time visitor to the city or an area resident, you will most likely learn something about the city that you never knew before. I highly recommend this walk and would go on it again!

Thanks so much for your review and coming on the Walk. Doing your tour, I mentioned the mural on 2nd street. There is now a building covering the mural. I've learned the tour will constantly evolve with the City. I will miss the mural, but I like the changes I've made to the tour.
