excellent tour so much history....wow factor for the kids
This was a fantastic way for my Granddaughter and I to learn about the city of Brotherly Love. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. He kept our group entertained not only with the history of the city but also with his many jokes. What a great experience. I would definitely recommend this one.
