Don_K, Oct 2026

Covered more ground than expected!

The tour covered more ground than we expected. We have done a lot of historical tours over the years and our guide, Vince, really brought the rich history of Philadelphia's role in the American Revolution to life, always keeping the program moving and relevant to our group. The tour was a great use of our limited time in town, and was so much better than just wandering through the historic district without context.

Dark Philly Adult Night Tour

Genna_O, Oct 2026

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.

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!

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.
