Our guide was great. Good pace, interesting facts, non-scripted, knowledgeable about all of Philly in general. The guide, Kevin?, Kyle?, Keith? was able to keep my 8y/o, 11y/o, and 13y/o interested and asking questions. Tour was of places I would not have thought to have seen but was happy with the diversification and their relevance to the build up to the Revolutionary War. I would only use this tour company again. The company's headquarters is great. They have coffee and tea, soft drinks and water for purchase, restrooms, lounge area with tv's. Foos Ball Table. Top Notch, great experience. Would not think of trying a different company.
Ariel was the best. My kids, my mom and I loved her! Very knowledgeable and sweet!
Would highly recommend her!
The positives were that they let us change the day of the tour after reserved because of bad weather and the guide was friendly. These account for the two stars, not one.
We didn't see everything listed in the description and there was tons of talking but no real content. I am used to learning a good amount of history of the city and relevant people on these type of tours. There was a lot of commentary about things that were not relevant to that and my group felt we learned very little. The guide seemed unsure of a several things I think I read.... or just not focused enough on the expected content of the tour. There were some interesting architecture bits thrown in, but most of the time we felt like we were left hanging for additional information. He pointed to Independence Hall and said that's where the two most important documents in the United States are and then moved on. I had to ask which documents he was referring to. Maybe he assumes people know history already and are looking for supplemental information?
