Sarah_W, Jun 2026

Great tour, great guide!

Our guide was Russ. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city in which he was born. He gave us plenty of chance to ask questions and he was great with the children in our group. We had been to Philly many times before but we learned a lot of new things.

Great tour - even kept the teens entertained

Tim was a great tour guide, and this is the perfect way to learn about the history of Philadelphia and our nation. He even managed to keep the attention of our older teens during the tour. We hit all the right highlights. I highly recommend this tour for the start of a visit to Philly, or for a solid overview if you're in the city for a short time. Excellent!!

Philadelphia 2 Hour Electric Cart Tour

Joanna_B, May 2026

Great for all ages, includes opportunities to stop and take pictures too

We were visiting Philadelphia and short on time, so we decided to make the most of it with an electric cart tour—and it was a fantastic choice! From start to finish, the experience was the perfect mix of comfort, fun, and rich history. Our guide, James, truly made the tour exceptional. His knowledge of Philly’s history was impressive, but what really stood out was how engaging and personable he was. He didn’t just recite facts—he told stories that brought the city to life, pointing out hidden gems and details we never would have noticed on our own. The electric cart was a huge plus—easy, relaxed, and a great way to see so much of the city without the hassle of walking long distances. We cruised through historic areas, iconic landmarks, and charming streets, all while getting insider insights along the way. If you're visiting Philadelphia and want an efficient, informative, and enjoyable tour, this is the one—and if you can, ask for James. Highly recommend—one of the highlights of our trip!

The Ghosts of Philadelphia Tour

Prudence_G, Apr 2026

This ghost tour is the way to go!

I’m now convinced that the way to get a great “historic” tour and keep it entertaining as well is to do a ghost tour. Or maybe it’s just that our guide Nate was so fantastic. We got entertaining stories, learned all sorts of historic facts, heard thoughtful, contemplative spooky tales and got a beautiful night time walk through the streets of Philly in 90 mins. Great deal and good fun.

The Constitutional Walking Tour of Philadelphia

Andras_S, Nov 2025

Must see and experience tour.

Will is a knowledgeable focused guide who knows what his group needs. He is very attentive and ready to answer any questions. He gave enough time for the whole group to discover everything. This tour is an easy walk that widens your prospective on how the US and the American spirit was born. Highly recommended.

Grim Philly Adult Ghost Tour Rocks

So much fun and SO interesting. Our guide, Brianna, was awesome — informative, funny, kind, and she has a great taste in sweaters. I used to be a tour guide in Philly (carriage driver) so I know what a good tour guide is. Lots of interesting historical facts along with good ghost stories. Sorry to see that City Tavern never reopened.

Spooktacular

Sean was an amazing tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining and extremely personable. After the tour he was even able to recommend some great local spots for the best cheesesteak. The tour was tailored to the interest of the group, he was a great storyteller, even discussing past tour experiences. 10/10, would tour with him again

Great visit for cults and interested teens

We live in Philadelphia, but the museum of the American Revolution has been on our list for a long time. We enjoyed it very much. Not for a young kids, though it’s a lot of reading and not much that they would appreciate. We are history nerd so, it was perfect for us
