David is a great tour guide, highly recommend this tour! - This was a fantastic tour! David was so knowledgeable & entertaining. He really engaged us and connected on a personal level. We learned so much that we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. We couldn’t have lucked out with a better guide! We are so glad we took this tour and couldn’t recommend it more! There is so much to see in Philly and this really showed us the highlights and David gave us great recommendations.

American history tour - The tour was perfect with 6 people and John Donato, our tour guide who was more knowledgeable than I ever could have expected. He provided explanations for all of the sights he curated for us. He patiently answered questions and gave us time to make necessary stops. Tour exceeded my expectations!

Very informative and good! - We had a very informative history tour with Alex! We covered so many sites and learned about their history. The tent show was absolutely beautiful, and thanks to Alex’s guidance on which places were worth visiting, we were able to explore numerous locations afterward.
