The most amazing experience walking through the city

We had Daniel and he was so knowledgeable even a little funny probably one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. He suggested a place to have a Philly steak sandwich at and we went there immediately after and it was the best Philly steak I’ve ever had.They will have a great experience, but make sure they bring good walking shoes. Sidewalk a little uneven.

Philadelphia - Eyes of Dushon

What an extraordinary way to see the whole downtown of Philadelphia and its historical sites thru the eyes of a local person who really knows his hometown--Philadelphia. Dushon was an excellent host and tour guide for our 2-hour tour of Philadelphia. SUPER JOB!!!!! I took so many photos that I put me in every spot so easily. My most favorite photo is the one of the Liberty Bell inside its building. Have already recommended this tour to friends who might head to Philadelphia sometime for a closeup view of the town.

You Don't Want to Miss This Experience

Do not miss this incredible experience, especially as our country celebrates its 250th birthday! This exhibit is very well-done and historically shows what the colonies went through before, during, and after the American Revolution. Do not miss this if you're in NOLA!

Lots of walking, not many...

Guide was knowledgeable and stories were interesting. The tour did a great job of hitting most sought after historical sites. Must walk beyond end point to catch ride share. Starting point and ending point, not the same. Lots of walking, not many places to sit – but definitely worth it. Would do a tour through them again!

Above and beyond our expectations

Our experience was amazing. We arrived to the area late and very close to our tour departure time. We had all our luggage with us but our driver Trina and Nick were amazing. They accommodated us very well past our expectations. Nick was very knowledgeable and our driver Trina (I hope I'm not saying her name wrong) was very pleasant and she made me laugh. Trina our driver took all the frustration I had in the beginning away and I left that day with a 😀. I would definitely do this again and again. Great Philadelphia hospitality.
