Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia

Laura_C, Oct 2026

Philadelphia Historic Tour Recommended

Kyle was informative, animated, and enthusiastic about history! He actively engaged the group in character roles to enhance the experience along with donning period costume. Our group learned so many things we didn’t know, which is always wonderful and beneficial at the beginning of our stay in Philadelphia. The pace was easily handled, but yet covered a lot of area. The small group size was also appreciated. Only wish was standing a bit more in front of the subject matter in order to hear the information while simultaneously taking pictures. This may have been due to the larger group breaking into two smaller groups for the same tour. Both guides did a nice job of avoiding any crowding of each other so as not to disturb the tour. Thank you, Kyle!

Our guide (Rick) was very...

Our guide (Rick) was very knowledgeable, and the food selections included a combination of local mainstays (Pretzels & cheesesteak), along with “off the beaten path” tastings such as the inari and Georgian Dumplings to demonstrate Philly’s diversity. Was also very accommodating for the rainy weather. Would highly recommend.

Our Bachelor Party

Nick was very accommodating for our group and even opened up an opportunity to roast the groom in our bachelor party. None in my party did, granted, but the consideration meant a lot! The drinking games were great too! And Sheila’s game can’t be beat!! She was a great sport, too. Thank you all so much!

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!

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!

One Hour Tour Of Philadelphia Historical Sites In A Vintage Car

Chris_E, Sep 2026

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.

Guided Day Trip to Amish Country from Philadelphia

Leslie_A, Sep 2026

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.
