We really loved this tour--we are Philly natives but our guide presented so much art and historical sociological info that we felt like we were seeing this part of the city first time. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in this city's cultural history.

Chuck was great. He really was engaging and knowledgable, not only about the tour, but Philly in general, it's his home city! We went over the allotted time, but he didn't push to leave until he was happy with what we doing next, giving us a sheet with 'things to see and do'. Wish we had taken his tour at the start of our stay.... Well worth it, we saw a lot that we wouldn't have seen by wandering around by ourselves.

My partner and I were born and raised in Philadelphia and we LOVED this tour! I booked it because I had cousins coming in from Italy and wanted them to see a unique part of Philadelphia. We saw that and more! Our tour guide Chuck was WONDERFUL! He is immensely knowledgeable about the art and the neighborhood, having lived in South Philadelphia for most of his life. It was a pleasure to experience the uniquely artistic neighborhood of South Philly through Chuck’s eyes.
