Great way to see Philly historical spots. You will need to buy or save spots for some historical places in advance through the National Parks Department.
greg_w, Jun 2026
There is a good deal of walking so be prepared. Depending on the weather pack sunscreen, raingear,hat.
Michael_B, Jun 2026
Nice tour, lots of walking. You do not go into the sites, only talk history outside of them. Charlotte was a good guide.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thanks for your review! Glad you enjoyed the tour with Charlotte. The tour is meant to be be an overview/orientation and then we suggest that you go back and visit the inside of any sites you wish, as everything is within a few blocks radius!

Melvin_P, Apr 2026
It was great sadly there were things out of the control of the guide Will but he tried to make the best of the situations.
William_C, Apr 2026
Great way to see all of the major sites and get some history about them. I wish we were able to go into the buildings but it was a nice tour.
Vicki_M, Nov 2025
Excellent tour. We had PJ and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was open to questions and discussion. Would highly recommend!
Sherwood_S, Nov 2025
John did a great job going over the history and background of the several buildings we saw. It was raining but we had a good time. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly.
Andras_S, Nov 2025
Will is a knowledgeable focused guide who knows what his group needs. He is very attentive and ready to answer any questions. He gave enough time for the whole group to discover everything. This tour is an easy walk that widens your prospective on how the US and the American spirit was born. Highly recommended.

The was very in the low 30’s but Abby wasn’t daunted a bit. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Had a great time.
Jill_C, Nov 2025
We didn't get to go into Independence Hall due to the government shutdown, but we saw it from the outside, and we saw many other interesting places. Our guide gave us a lot of good information.
Jane_R, Oct 2025
Our guide, Avi, was friendly, gave a presentation full of stories and historical facts and gladly answered our questions
Elizabeth_P, Oct 2025
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.
Terri_R, Oct 2025
Where comfy tennis shoes, few places to sit and rest. Wear lightweight clothing on sunny day. Wear a hat.
Ashley_L, Sept 2025
Great tour and very informative. You get to see all the historical sites and learn more about the city.
Marc_L, Sept 2025
Very knowledgeable guide. PJ was excellent! First time visít ín Philly. Got many great insights about our founding fathers.
Charles_C, Sept 2025
Our guide was quite quirky and seemed to enjoy performing more than informing. It was, unfortunately, one of the worst walking tours we’ve booked through Viator.
Mary_C, Aug 2025
Connor was outstanding -- pleasant and incredibly knowledgeable -- one of the best guides any in our group ever had. All of us learned so much -- even the native Philadelphia prof. Without much walking, you'll cover a great deal of historical ground. Totally recommend this tour for visitors and locals alike.
Bryceleah05, Aug 2025
I thought the tour was two hours but was only 1:35/45 minutes. I also didn’t realize the tour didn’t allow us to see the liberty bell up/close.
Our guide, PJ, was very nice but somewhat subdued.
Belynda_T, Aug 2025
Very informative and interesting. We saw a lot of places we would have not found on our own. Michael is a Great Guide with years of knowledge of Philadelphia!!!
John_M, Aug 2025
Will was a super tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable and delivered the history with enthusiasm. We learned a lot.
Frank_G, Aug 2025
Extremely informative tour guide. Well worth the cost. Very good knowledge of the history of America and the role played by Philadelphia.
Barbara_V, Jul 2025
This is a walking tour and you will walk but there are enough stopping points to catch your breath. Plenty of historic sites and information.
Sandra_C, Jul 2025
This cost $24 for a self-guided tour - extremely disappointed at the cost! We were told to be at the "meeting place" at 2pm - then we were told this was a "self guided tour" and given 2 sheets of paper. There was a show included of less than 20 minutes - that was very interesting but for that amount of money? I felt ripped off!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi. This was not a self guided tour, it was a guided tour. You purchased a guided tour and did not arrive for the 2pm guided Constitutional Walking Tour that you purchased. At 2:02 pm, before the tour departed we texted you to see if you were coming for the tour, you did not respond. You called us 26 hours after the tour (after 4pm the following day) and it turns out you went inside the Constitution Center (we meet outside, not inside as our tickets/website/vouchers clearly state) and the guest services desk there thought you were there to tour their museum, gave you a wristband and essentially free tickets to tour their museum. The show you saw was from the museum and had nothing to do with us. When you called us 26 hours later you said you thought my text to you was an automated text so you didn't respond, and you did not attempt to call us at the time of the tour when you could not locate the guide or meeting location. So we did have a guided tour that did meet at the assigned location that day, we did attempt to reach out to you before the tour left, and the tour did depart at 2:05 pm with other tour guests. I am sorry you could not find us at the given location and as I mentioned when you called we would be happy to honor the tickets for you to return on a tour for any time you return to Philadelphia within 1 year.

Great experience of the Constitutional history of Philly. Very knowledgeable guide. Learned so much and it kick-started my amazing first experience in Philadelphia.
Sheryl_N, Jul 2025
Bring water & walking shoes , great that it was a small group bc it would have been hard to hear if the group was longer
Rowena_G, Jul 2025
This was our second tour experience, and once again, it was fantastic! Our tour guide was awesome—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating historical insights about Philadelphia. Both tours have been excellent and memorable. Highly recommended!
