Really interesting walking tour, which was really informative as well as fun…..our guide Joseph was brilliant and very funny as well as being extremely knowledgeable, great tour. My only feed back would be that I was not expecting a walking tour and wandered around a bit talking to other bus companies trying to find the right meeting point; I may have of course not read the information correctly but I would recommend you highlight this point in the information. From my perspective I much preferred the walking tour to a bus tour…..thank you

We found the visit very interesting, informative and enjoyable. We were 4 (parents and children aged 17 and 19) and we walked in the center of historic Philadelphia with our guide and a small group (we were the only foreigners, but we were wonderfully integrated by the guide and the rest of the group, composed exclusively of Americans). The guide's commentary was very informative and entertaining. It was very hot and he was careful to place us in the shade during longer explanations.

This was an excellent experience from beginning to end! First of all, given my personal travel plans, there was a possibility that I was not going to make the tour on time. Joe from the company reached out to me proactively to suggest solutions! Fortunately we made it on time. Ted, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable, and very engaging with the group. Post the tour, Joe reached out to ensure that everything went alright. Overall, fantastic experience and highly recommend this group!
