Walking Tour of Independence Hall and Philadelphia
We learned that Tom is a history teacher so his knowledge on the history of Democracy Is impeccable.
We can tell that he’s passionate and, naturally, well versed on the history founders and the foundation and the constitution.
We learned so much more than expected. Some things we knew but he was able to enlighten us on things we did not know, in particular, the history of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
He was very receptive to our questions and told us if he didn’t know something. He was very pleasant to listen to and very friendly.
Please consider this tour if you like to briefly touch on the layout of Philadelphia. You can always circle back and buy tickets to tour more in depth.

A Bad-Ass tour
We had alice as out tour guide and she was AMAZING! She was knowledgeable and passionate about the history of "bad-ass" women of Philly. I go on historical waking tours wherever I go and consider myself well read but I learned so much during this walking tour and it was so interesting! I can't recommend this tour enough for both women and men!

One of the best historical tours EVER
Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and made the experience so enjoyable. She took extra time to answer all of my questions, got to know our group, and were friendly, punctual, and engaging throughout the tour. She also gave us excellent recommendations for places to eat around the city, which we really appreciated.
This was one of my favorite tours, and our guide was a huge reason why. She truly went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. I highly recommend this tour!

Variety of food choices
Our tour guide David was very attentive and considerate. Our tour took place on a rainy day, and that morning, I kindly received a phone call stating a new change of where to meet. He wanted to make sure that we knew exactly where we were meeting so that we could stay dry. What was great is that he had a delicious pretzel waiting for us, and it was still warm. He wanted to make sure that he caught everyone who is supposed to be with us, and I liked the fact that he valued others. I’ve been on quite a few food tours, in general, and what was unique about this one was that there was definitely a variety of food selections. Well, I would not have personally chosen a couple that we did, I realize that for those who potentially have dairy, allergies, etc., a wide variety of items was offered. So, that was really great!

Great Tour
We literally booked this trip as we were driving into the city. It was wonderful! Adam was a great host and we learned so much about the city, its people, and its history. The tour is also a great way to orient yourself to the historic part of town. Highly recommend!!

Gem of a Tour Guide
Thursday, June 11th my granddaughter and I had a tour with Brittni! There are no words...truly the BEST tour guide in all my years of traveling, through the US or Europe. Brittni, started the trip like we've known her all our lives, information, fun facts, info on what we're viewing out our windows at the time. There were two other groups with us, she brought us all together through her kind personality. The stops during the tour were perfectly planned, she listened and cared about photo ops & parts of Valley Forge that were important to each and everyone of us. We Venture is lucky to have such an intelligent, personable employee. Hope to be back for another of Brittni's tours. Thank you Brittni for making our time in Philadelphia perfection.

10/10 Recommend!
Claire was the best guide! She gave a lot of extra stories, several great recommendations for our last day in Philly, and was overall a great human. There were two kids on our tour and she gave them options to make them comfortable with some of the spookier stories. Definitely recommend this tour and Claire!!

Different and FUN!
Reid was an excellent tour guide, making the information and tour fun, pertinent, as well as informative. He made sure that there were places to sit while we listened, and he passed the information to us in a way that was understandable. He also made sure to ensure our safety the entire time when crossing the street, as well as he made sure we stopped at places where we were covered from the rain, as we had a rainy day. we laughed along the way and learned so much that we did not know about Alexander Hamilton as well as the city of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Vintage Car Tour
Vintage Car tour, one hour Philadelphia. Cars are not wheelchair accessible, and a rollator walker might be problematic, so plan accordingly. Be aware that the seats have three seatbelts, but only two adults can really fit comfortably. Three adults is a tight fit, unless you are all smaller sized adults. Good tour for an overview of historic sites!

Excellent Philadelphia Food Tour!!
This tour of the Philadelphia "Italian" Market was eye-opening and wonderful. Our guide Barry was a fountain of information and led us through the streets explaining the deep history of the area, including the beautiful mosaics on so many buildings in the area created by a local artist. These were so breathtaking. Another fun fact was the amount of murals painted on the neighborhood buildings, all by local groups of citizens and youngsters. We learned so much about the culture of the area, and sampled many local delicious staples including Bin Mi pork and chicken sandwiches (Vietnamese) and tomato pie. Barry was a very good leader and teacher, and made this tour very enjoyable.

Fun. Engaging and well researched!
My partner and I enjoyed this tour. The tour guide was professional, passionate, and well spoken. The tour was engaging from beginning to the end. We both learned a lot of useful nuggets about African Americans and POC in general that are is wildly known.

Best tour guide ever!
Learn about the legacy the founding fathers left us! We absolutely loved hearing about everything on this tour. Our guide, Connor, has ruined us for any other tour guide. His knowledge was unmatched. And he was very good at not injecting any personal opinions into the information. It must be difficult to leave politics out of a tour concerning the early politics of our nation, but he managed it beautifully. We thouroughly enjoyed our tour.
