Definitely a tour for...

Definitely a tour for 18+! Fun, eerie historical and a tad bit naughty. Great way to see some of the sights in & around Independence Hall and learn some little-known facts about Philly and its spooky, early MA-rated history. :) Definitely wear comfy shoes as at some of the stops you are standing for a good chunk of time. Bonus if the karaoke bus drives by! Andrea was engaging, thoroughly knowledgeable, and handled a variety of passing-by distractions with aplomb and good humor. Not your typical history tour but worth it.

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.
