What are people saying about Philadelphia

Karen_C, Aug 2026

Must-Do Activity While in Philadelphia

It is a great way to get acquainted with many of the historic sites in the city. Considerable amount of walking, but well worth it. Our guide, John, was incredibly knowledgeable- you could tell that this was more than just a job to him. He shared interesting information (and some little-known facts), which made the tour so enjoyable.

Dark Philly Adult Night Tour

Theresa_P, Aug 2026

Lots of walking, not many...

Guide was knowledgeable and stories were interesting. The tour did a great job of hitting most sought after historical sites. Must walk beyond end point to catch ride share. Starting point and ending point, not the same. Lots of walking, not many places to sit – but definitely worth it. Would do a tour through them again!

Highly recommend going on a BYOB comedic tour of Philly! The tour guide was the best!!

And it’s just a fun tour! Would say beware of from being kids but even then it will still be fun. We had a great group!
