I chose this activity because it looked different than the typical Philadelphia history / museum / landmark tours. I also chose this because I read the 1st line in the description and knew my husband would be interested. This excursion did not disappoint in the least. We were delighted! We found out real facts in the 1st 5 minutes. We laughed. We remembered some things and learned additional details. My husband and I regularly take different bus tours in NYC. Until the day we took this musical tour, we always had in our minds what the best bus tour was. Others were good but nothing surpassed our favorite - UNTIL THIS! Book this tour immediately. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies, #lol!

Clayton the tour guide is well versed in Philadelphia music history, from Classical to Jazz to Blues to Rock and Hip Hop. We had no idea of the depth of musical history in Philadelphia. I highly recommend this tour! And if he asks for someone to assist with the video presentation, do it!

This tour was amazing. My favorite sections were Jazz and Bandstand. It was cool to hear the back stage stories. And there was a TV celebrity on the tour- very cool!
