Private Tour Feeling in Philly

We took the 4 pm tour on a Friday afternoon. Xavier was our guide. He took us by all the major places of interest and gave an interesting commentary. He gave us some time at a few spots for photos. This is a great way to see the major points of interest and decide if there’s anything you’d like to head back to. Cool way to tour the city!

Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia

Dan_M, Oct 2026

Fantastic tour with fantastic history

Josh gave a fantastic tour of some iconic philly sites, as well as some deep insights into the founding of the United States and the lesser-known founding father of Robert Morris. Highly entertaining and exceedingly knowledgeable, I'd rank him among the top tour guides I've ever bore witness to.

Engaging, Interesting Historic Tour

Nick was a fantastic tour guide! We learned a lot of interesting things, and he was engaging, very knowledgeable, and entertaining but not kitschy. He gave us a great overview of the historical sites in Old City, and it helped us narrow down what we wanted to explore in more detail. Highly recommend this tour with Nick!

Dark Philly Adult Night Tour

London, Oct 2026

Not your grandma’s tour

My family and I take a ghost/dark history tour everywhere we travel and our tour with Ted was my favorite so far! He is tremendously knowledgeable and passionate about history in a way that’s contagious. You can’t help but be just as excited and eager for the next stop. Ted was full of fascinating anecdotes and stories you’d never hear on another tour and delivers a ton of history in a way that was never dull or overwhelming. I’d say the only thing to note is that Ted does use a lot of swear words so if you’re sensitive to that, maybe not your thing. And is it a longer tour with several stops (though Ted has thoughtfully planned spots where people can have a seat), so just be ready to get a few steps in on the funnest, funniest, most informative tour I’ve been on!

Brittni is an awesome guide!

The tour was exceptional from start to finish. It was so educational and fun learning about the Amish way of life, their culture, interacting with their animals, trying some delicious, and most of all seeing some jaw-droppingly beautiful quilts since that's where my passion lies. Brittni is one of the best guides I've experienced, and I appreciate her extensive knowledge and close relationships with the Amish folk. Her positivity is infectious, and she has a real passion for sharing her knowledge with her tour guests.

Philadelphia Must-See Private Walking Tour With A Guide

Exploring Philadelphia

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.
