Very good - so impressed with the guide. She was excellent. Would highly recommend this one. Combine it with hop on hop off Big Bus and your set.
If you are only spending a day in Philly, and want to understand how our Founding Fathers grew our government, this is the tour for you. In an hour and a half you will leisurely walk through the streets visiting sites where our Founding fathers lived and worked and understand how they built our government. Our very knowledgeable guide presented a perfectly orchestrated overview with the right balance of facts and fun information to help bring to light the essence of life during that time in history.
We had a limited amount of time in Philly but wanted to see some of the main historical sites. This tour was nice and we felt like we got a good dose of the history of Philly in a short tour. Tour guide was fantastic.
Our tour guide John was super super knowledgeable, friendly and my family and I learned sooooo much. Everything you could possibly want and more.
Mariah was a fantastic tour guide. I am from the area and learned so much on the tour. It is a lot of walking, so make sure you wear proper footwear!
This walking tour was just perfect. Saw many things and were given tips on what and where to spend additional time. Andrew was amazing!! Created a very enjoyable and educational 90 minutes for everyone in our group, children through adults. The historical information and stories provided, has given me a renewed interest is reading and learning more about our nation's Founding Fathers!!
A most informative tour and thank you for an interesting visit to Philadelphia, a most beautiful city.
knowledgeable and fun, great way to see the history unfold in a short walk. no hills!
This was a great experience to get an overview of the historic sites in Philadelphia. Our tour guide, Jessica, did a great job of providing us the history of the area while making the experience fun for all ages.
Nice tour - started a little late
Melissa was awesome and I would highly recommend this tour! We learned and saw so much we would have never known and seen without the tour. Well worth it!
There were only two of us on the tour and our guide was wonderful! We asked lots of questions and she answered them all!
Our guide was awesome. We only had three on the tour so he was able to answer any question and we felt like it was a custom tour.
