What are people saying about Philadelphia

Philadelphia 2 Hour Electric Cart Tour

Laura_F, Apr 2026

A little taste of the city and U.S. history

Very small group (the electric cart only holds 6, including the driver/guide), very knowledgable and personable guide. We had time to get out at certain spots for a closer look and more in-depth info. Climb the Rocky Stairs if you want! Lots of interesting history, art, and architecture. No Liberty Bell, though, surprisingly. I was a little put off by the very aggressive waiver, which says you can't sue for any reason, not even their negligence. However, the tour itself and the guide we had were great!

Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia

Andrew_B, Apr 2026

Fun, Intimate Walking Tour

This is a very personal tour. Our guide, Dr. Lee, tries to keep groups at 10 or fewer. Dr. Lee was energetic, and you can tell he cares deeply about the stories, impacts, and future of Philly and the Historical District. The tour left us with plenty to go back and dig deeper in, but also feel like we saw enough to say we experienced the Historical District. This tour does not include going into the Liberty Bell or Independence Hall.

Driving Tour of Valley Forge National Park from Philadelphia

Terrence_T, Apr 2026

Excellent Tour of Valley Forge.

We had a wonderful tour of Valley Forge with Tom. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the site and the revolutionary war. In particular, he shared some interesting stories about Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, Lord Stirling, George Washington and others. I would highly recommend this tour.

He als included recommendations for Philadelphia activities and good eats. I would definitely recommend this tour. Our family is two parents with an 11 and a 13 year old. Thank you Joseph!!

Center City Philadelphia Food Tour with Reading Market

Wendell_G, Apr 2026

An Awesome Experience From Start to Finish!!!

Awesome experience! I don't know how we got so lucky, but my party was the only one on the tour. This made the experience much more intimate and engaging. Rick Heimann is an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on the city's history. He encouraged and answered questions. He took some great pictures of us and more. Secondly, the food was amazing. The spots that we sampled were all delicious. Mari Mari being our absolute favorite. Not to mention, I was actually full after the tour. Thankfully, I brought my appetite. I highly recommend both the tour and Rick as the tour guide. You will learn a lot, and most importantly, have fun while doing it.

Great tour! tour was very fun and informattive! It was a long day so I would recommend packing snacks and water, though you will have breaks twice to get them at a gas station if you forget. I went when it was raining but it stopped on an off so not bad. Would recommend booking in March-October to get the best tour.

Anna_M, Jan 2026

Great tour, great guide

Brittany was great! Big group (20 or so), so we were worried it’d be tough to hear the stories - but she’s a pro! Not only was she informative and knowledgeable, but also incredibly engaging and entertaining! The size of the group ended up being no issue at all, and even though it was an incredibly cold and icy night – everyone in the group seemed to have a great time. We learned a lot, and will definitely recommend this to friends!
