Top Philadelphia Walking Tours

I booked this tour during a business trip to Philly. Congrats to me, what a great idea! I met my guide, George, on the street near the first stop. He informed me that his other guests had canceled, so I was going to get a private tour. Woooo! What a night! I definitely experienced some bars I’d likely never had discovered on my own. George and I talked all night about drinking, life, and love. Thanks for a fabulous evening!

We went on a ghost tour last night with Claire, and it was such a memorable experience! Our group of four joined with another group of young adults, and Claire kept everyone engaged the whole time. She is a wonderful storyteller. Her use of vocal variety really pulled us in—sometimes lowering her voice so you leaned in closer, other times raising it just enough to cut through the sounds of fireworks and emergency vehicles that happened to pass by during our tour. No matter the distractions, we could always hear her clearly. Claire shared plenty of history along with the ghostly tales, which made the experience even richer. She also introduced us to a ghost app, which added a fun interactive twist. What we appreciated most was that she wasn’t over-the-top or cheesy; she kept the spooky theme alive while still grounding everything in the fascinating history of the city. Overall, Claire made the tour both entertaining and educational, and I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Philadelphia!

This tour was amazing! We learned so much in a short time. Our guide provided recommendations on where to go afterwards for a deeper dive into particular topics of interest and also directions on how to get to our next destination. I would highly recommend this tour!

Ted made Philly’s crime history unforgettable. He managed to make tales of serial killers both fascinating and even humorous without ever losing the edge of the story. A natural teacher and storyteller—he kept us laughing, learning, and totally engaged. Don’t miss this tour with Ted!

My 17-year old son and I enjoyed getting to taste the different foods included on this tour, along with learning about some of the history and culture of the area around the Reading Market. The tour guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic about sharing the foods and the city of Philadelphia. Definitely come hungry because this tour provides full-size samples of some delicious and filling food! The pretzel cheesesteaks were unique and very good, and super filling. I love booking food tours when I visit a new city, and this tour was definitely a winner.

I’ve personally been to Philly numerous times and never thought to do a tour bus. We a work meeting in Philly this week so my colleagues and I thought it would be a great idea to do a bus tour. Glad we did! The tour was amazing and very informative. If you’re in the Philly area for the first time, I definitely recommend doing this bur tour.

My son and I ended up booked this tour not expecting it would end up only being us two and our guide Matt. Since it ended up being just three of us, Matt want off script and took us on different tour. It was awesome that he pointed out things we'd never notice on our own.

Our tour guide was David. He was wonderful, he had a great knowledge of history, the city, easy walking pace. David was absolutely delightful! David’s passion for history and humanity was inspiring. David is a hidden gem in the city. His Mom should be very proud of him! Absolutely lovely.
