Fun tour mixing history an food

This tour was a nice mix of history and food. We really enjoyed visiting the Central market and sampling cheesesteak, dumplings and soft pretzels. We made other stops after the market to sample dessert, Korean food and finished up at the oldest tavern in Philly to sample another form of cheesesteak in an egg roll. We were all full at the end of the tour after all of the tasty samples. Jason, our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Philly history and food. Highly recommend this fun tour.

Don’t miss this tour!

Our guide, Mark, gave us a great overview of Philadelphia in a vehicle that gave us unique views. He was fun and knowledgeable. He shared the history of the city’s founding, growth and sense of community. And, of course, about the mark that Ben Franklin had on the city and country. Highly recommend this tour.

Nice to walk the city at night and learn its lore.

This was a cool tour. It is interesting to walk the city at night, not only learning history but also the city's lore. The guide was very knowledgeable of history, and you could see and feel his passion for the city. He is a history teacher, so that just adds to the experience. Even though it is for adults only, it is not raunchy or inappropriate in any way. In fact, I would rate it pretty PG in terms of offense.

We visited a toy making business and a quilt shop as well as the traditional market with all the shops. I can’t express enough how much we enjoyed Jason as our tour guide. Would highly recommend this day trip!!!

Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia

Philadelphia Historic Tour Recommended

Kyle was informative, animated, and enthusiastic about history! He actively engaged the group in character roles to enhance the experience along with donning period costume. Our group learned so many things we didn’t know, which is always wonderful and beneficial at the beginning of our stay in Philadelphia. The pace was easily handled, but yet covered a lot of area. The small group size was also appreciated. Only wish was standing a bit more in front of the subject matter in order to hear the information while simultaneously taking pictures. This may have been due to the larger group breaking into two smaller groups for the same tour. Both guides did a nice job of avoiding any crowding of each other so as not to disturb the tour. Thank you, Kyle!

Our Bachelor Party

Nick was very accommodating for our group and even opened up an opportunity to roast the groom in our bachelor party. None in my party did, granted, but the consideration meant a lot! The drinking games were great too! And Sheila’s game can’t be beat!! She was a great sport, too. Thank you all so much!

Private Tour Feeling in Philly

We took the 4 pm tour on a Friday afternoon. Xavier was our guide. He took us by all the major places of interest and gave an interesting commentary. He gave us some time at a few spots for photos. This is a great way to see the major points of interest and decide if there’s anything you’d like to head back to. Cool way to tour the city!

Fun relaxing tour

Fun tour. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze. I think our guide’s names was Deckland. He was easy going, funny, and informative. Got to go all around the city. Helped us decide where to explore further the rest of the trip. Got to get out and take pictures if we wanted. Ride was very smooth; only a little bumpy on the few cobblestone parts which was fun. Would definitely recommend early in trip to scout out places go.
