Andy did a great job at navigating all the historical sites that we wanted to see. He explained all of the sites and their historical value. He gave us ideas on what to do after our tour and we appreciated his help. It is a must detour if you are in Philadelphia.
Patrick is a fantastic tour guide. His knowledge, insights, and willingness to accommodate your plans, was the best we have ever experienced.
I would recommend him as your only source to guide you through Philadelphia.
Thank you Patrick.
Sincerely, John
Five Stars Simply Aren’t Enough for Patrick! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Patrick! From start to finish, he was absolutely AMAZING! His knowledge of Philadelphia, its history, and all the little details that make the city so special was incredible. But what truly sets Patrick apart is his personality. He is funny, engaging, personable, and genuinely passionate about what he does.
Patrick went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. He didn’t just show us Philadelphia — he brought the city to life! His enthusiasm, humor, and incredible knowledge made our time with him one of the highlights of our trip.
If you are planning a visit to Philadelphia, do yourself a favor and book Patrick. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else! He is simply the BEST, and I cannot thank him enough for such an unforgettable experience!
You will learn the history of Philadelphia along with our country’s beginnings. Interesting information about William Penn and so much about Benjamin Franklin!
Jonathan was so knowledgable and helped to bring history alive. He answered all questions and made the tour fun and interesting! Woiod do the tour again!!!
Patrick was our guide and he is very knowledgeable and has wonderful energy. Highly recommend the walking tour, we enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Our tour guide Patrick was amazing! He led us on a wonderful tour around Philadelphia! We saw the must-see sights and he gave us great recommendations for many additional places to visit. He definitely inspired us to want to come back to Philly!
The tour was wonderful! Our guide, Patrick, took his time to thoroughly talk about each place we visited.
I'd definitely ask for Patrick for future tours. His knowledge of all things Philadelphia, past and present was very much
appreciated.
I travel frequently throughout Europe and the Americas, so I can usually assess a guide’s caliber within just a few minutes of meeting them. My husband and I also have very high standards when it comes to the quality and accuracy of the information we receive during tours.
We recently decided to explore Pennsylvania, and our first day was dedicated to Philadelphia. We booked a two-hour sightseeing tour of the city’s major landmarks, and we were incredibly fortunate to have Patrick as our guide.
From the very beginning, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional—a historian with an exceptional knowledge of Philadelphia and a genuine passion for its history. In just two hours, Patrick gave us a comprehensive understanding of the city, from its founding to the present day. He also delivered an outstanding mini-lecture on the history of the American colonies and their struggle for independence.
The tour was engaging, well organized, and intellectually enriching. Every historical fact was presented accurately, clearly, and in context, inspiring complete confidence in the information we received. Patrick’s depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for his subject were evident throughout the entire experience.
Patrick is an exceptional guide and historian. If you want to do more than simply see Philadelphia—if you want to truly understand its history, culture, and significance—I wholeheartedly recommend taking a tour with him.
Andy was an outstanding guide! He was knowledgeable and engaging -- He brought the stories behind the city's landmarks to life and made the tour both informative and enjoyable. I left with a much deeper appreciation for Philadelphia and would highly recommend Andy to anyone visiting the city.
Our tour guide was friendly, engaging and obviously very enthusiastic about Philadelphia. I was hoping for more detailed historical information throughout the tour and more opportunities to visit certain sites listed in the description of the tour on the website. Our tour did last two hours but we missed certain sites that would have been interesting to my husband, myself and my grandchildren. I realize that its a very busy time in the city and some areas were crowded.
Annie toured us through the historic sites of Philly. A highlight was the Quaker Meeting House. We loved our morning together.
Even though our guide was very nice she had very limited knowledge of the area. This was a total rip off. I have used Viator extensively in the past with great success, I paid 260.00 for a two hour tour, I got an 1 hour and 45 minute tour that I had to help out with, a really bad experience.
Very knowledgeable guide. Enjoyed the tour very much. Walking tour and had a beautiful day to take it all in
A lot of fun, great selection of sights, expertly curated our tour which specifically included a seven and a ten year old, perfect combination of stories, anecdotes and information.
Professional guide, well versed in Philly’s early history, personable and flexible. Would recommend him without reservation.
We had never been to Philadelphia before so this was a great way to get to know the city, we had a wonderful time.
What an amazing two hours with Annie. She showed the City of Philadelphia in a fun, interactive and informative manner. We could’ve have asked for or found a better tour guide.
Annie was very responsive before our tour with last minute changes. She was happy to change the itinerary to meet our needs and interests.
It is a good tour of the city's historical sites and its role in the American Revolution. Highly recommended for people interested in this topic.
