We loved it! Our guide was lovely and engaging. The Magic Gardens is a must see! Artist Isaiah Zagar has imprinted his creativity upon this city like no other — covering walls, floors, buildings, homes, inside and out, up and down, with his marvelous mosaics. This is a unique tour — highly recommend!

Carla was absolutely wonderful! She was highly knowledgeable and kind! We did this tour in 20 Fahrenheit- she didn’t cancel despite the temperature and we had truly a great time. We learned so much about this beautiful part of Philly. We highly recommend this tour!

Great organization with experienced guides, thank you Lisa for the safe ride through the waves and the great stories about the river in the “quiet” minutes!

Chuck was a great guide introducing us to South Philly, its history, and art.

Best zip lining I’ve experienced! Amazing views and our guides were funny.
