Absolutely amazing, fun, and educational. - This was our second tour experience, and once again, it was fantastic! Our tour guide was awesome—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating historical insights about Philadelphia. Both tours have been excellent and memorable. Highly recommended!

Good Walking Tour - Lots of Information and Knowledgeable - John our guide was very knowledgeable and despite the heat conducted the tour really well. Something completely out of John’s hands was the fact the day of our tour fell on Wawa Hoagie Day which meant the area was crazy busy and it was hard to hear John at the beginning of the tour. You need to access the Liberty Bell and the other sites separately so do this before or after your tour. John was a good guide and even recommended a great place for a Philly Cheesesteak which was excellent - Campos.

Nice short tour - good for kids and adults - We had a lovely tour with Jon. He was very knowledgeable and provided a good mix of history and connection to the present. It’s a brisk tour so quick walk around to see the outside of various historical sites. You won’t get to go inside any of the sites. Book or plan those site visits separately. This was more of an express tour along the street to point out key sites. One bit of advice is for the tour guide: sometimes it was hard to hear him over the din of traffic, wind, etc. He also spoke a bit fast so I was not always able to hear him. What I could hear was very informative and interesting. It’s just that sometimes he spoke quickly and I couldn’t hear. That would be my only advice. Thanks for the tour and great memories!

was ok - I am glad I got to give this review. We changed our date which was easy, but it cost 10 more dollars. the guide was very nice and informative. We were VERY disappointed with not being able to see a good view of the Liberty Bell however, the tour did NOT take you in the building. You had to look through a window and that was blocked by a person inside. We saw other very wonderful Historic places but this was one point very important to me. The tour needs to make clear you wont be going in Any buildings. Just more clarification on your end is what I recommend.

Train the Tour Guides - Tour guide spoke like she was reading from a middle school text book. Just a few facts, no context, and left out a lot of information. Example: Ben Franklin buried in cemetery as well as 4 other founding fathers (who were the others?).
