My friends and I learned so much during the tour and were fascinated with all of the history the guides shared with us. A camera is a must for all of the historical landmarks and just the city in itself. It would be a great idea to write down any cool facts that the tour guides tell you-and there are... More

This past Friday I brought my 8th grade class and their parents on this tour. Our guide Caroline was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was a nice overview of the history of our country and complemented our 8th grade Social Studies curriculum. It definitely sparked the interest of a few students who wish to revisit the area...

Thank you so much for making the arrangements for our group to go on the tour this past Saturday. We couldn’t have asked for better weather! Even the babies who came along were good! It was just beautiful and our guide, a former University of Pa computer programer, was very pleasant and informative (I’m afraid I don’t remember his name).... More

We took the walking tour on a Friday afternoon. The guide was a former professor at Penn State and he did a great job. He was very well informed and even took us on an additional walk after it was over. I would recommend it if you like to walk.

Our guide was Miranda. Is possible to know the main streets where are the main historic atrractions of the city. During the tour, the guide speack about the history and operation of atrraction. I advise to do this tour in your first day at Philadelphia and then visit the interior of the attractions.
