Per one customer who booked Yo! A Private Rocky Balboa Driving Tour of Philadelphia, "Barry was an awesome tour guide. The Rocky Tour was a very good way to both see where key scenes from the movies were filmed and to see a wide variety of Philly's neighborhoods. Barry had lots of interesting facts about other landmarks and interesting spots we passed. Highly recommend!"
