Lois is a great tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. Lois is flexible on the schedule, and she made us feel like friends.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thanks so much for the review. Not hard being friendly to friendly people!!
Elizabeth_A, Jul 2025
Lois did a wonderful job telling us about the historical facts of Philadelphia as well as answering our crazy questions. We absolutely enjoyed our time with her and wish we could have had more time. We would have scheduled a full day with her if we could, we had a great time! Thank you Lois!!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
You and your family were such fun. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!
Rachel_A, Mar 2025
We had a fantastic time learning and discovering places and facts about Philadelphia (it being our first visit ever) through the eyes of our wonderful tour guide, Lois! You can sense her excitement in telling others about this amazing city. She was very pleasant to talk to and flexible in terms of what we wanted to see and what we needed from one moment to another. We had our 4 year old with us (who wasn’t nearly as excited to be there as we were) and she was very patient and adaptable. Her sense of humor and excellent storytelling skills made us want to listen to her for hours. We would recommend this tour for anyone and all ages.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you Rachel. In the world of 4 year olds doing tours, YOURS was fantastic!! I hope the rest of your trip was enjoyable as was you ride home. Thanks again so much!!

Lois was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job. I highly recommend her for anyone. She did well with our kids who are 8 and 9 as well as with the adults.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Thanks so much. The kids were great and i hope they had a good time.
Timur_K, Aug 2024
Louis was great and informative and patient. We loved her! We learned so much from her and got to see everything we wanted.
David_K, Aug 2024
We enjoyed a great tour with Lois. She is warm, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. We spent a significant time walking, which was great, but Lois also brings her car which allowed us to see South Philly and the sites on Benjamin Franklin Parkway that would otherwise be beyond walking distance. The perfect way to get to know the city, would definitely recommend!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thanks David - I have to take care of those Ridgewood guys!!
rachel_M, Nov 2023
Lois was absolutely fabulous! She is very knowledgeable of Philly's history. She let us decide our pace but made sure we got to see everything we could. She's pretty funny too! Def Recommend!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you Rachael! I hope the rest of your time in the area was successful. Thanks for choosing me.
Carole_S, Sep 2023
Lois was knowledgeable and patient as we were slower with a wheelchair. The history of Philly was very interesting. Seeing the historic buildings helps the history come to life. Thank you.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
What you lacked in speed you made up for in your knowledge and fun. It was great to be in your company and best wishes for your future travels.
Ann_P, Jun 2023
Lois was our wonderful tour guide. We were running late for our meeting time and she could not have been nicer or more flexible with us about it. She told us the tour was ours. Since it was our first visit to Philadelphia, she took us to all the tourist highlights but if you have been to Philly in the past, then she can find some nooks and crannies or hidden gems for you to explore. We wanted to take some quick photos at a couple of places so she would stop, let us out of car and then come back and get us a few minutes later since parking is at a premium in the city. It was a great way to see all the parts of the city in a safe fun way! Would highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thanks Ann - you and your family were tons of fun. Best wishes to your daughter!!
Cecil_N, Apr 2023
Lois was very knowledgeable and friendly. Got to see Liberty Bell, which was our main objective. Highly recommend this guide and tour
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you Cecil!!
Jamie_B, Mar 2023
My mom and I had a wonderful personal tour with Lois. She picked us up promptly at our Airbnb. She took us all around the city to see and do things we wanted to do like the Magic Gardens, Liberty Bell, and Pats Cheesecake. Then she took us to a few new things she thought we would enjoy and we did like most of the collages and Elfreth’s Alley. She even introduced us to this local bakery that had the best cannoli. Lois was very knowledgeable about Philly and so friendly. She even dropped us off at the museum of our choice at the end of the tour. She was worth every penny. We would highly recommend anyone that wanted a great personal tour to take this tour with Lois.
Tip: The more information you provide Lois with what you want to do the more she will be able to personalize it to you and your wants.
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Thanks Jamie - I had a great time with you and your mom. I hope you enjoyed the Barnes!!
Darryl_M, Dec 2022
Lois was very knowledgeable and did a great job of showing us the city. She also was able to answer all of our questions!
Christy_B, Jul 2022
Quality tour led by a lifelong Philadelphian who gave us not only the historical tour but also shared modern Philly -making it a very living tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thanks Christy-it was truly my pleasure. And good luck to you!!! Maybe you'll be back around this way in the years to come.
Malaina_J, Jul 2022
Good tour. We were able to see many historical sites in a short time. We ended the tour with a great spot for a Philly Cheesesteak! Lois was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Thank you Malaina! You are your group were tons of fun. Glad you liked Campos.
Sylvia_T, May 2022
This Philadelphia old town walking tour was one of the highlights of our Philadelphia trip. My family had never been to Philly and Lois did a wonderful job explaining the history with interesting facts. Lois was gracious and attentive to our questions. It was a wonderful experience!
Response from Host, May 2022
Thanks so much. Your group was such a pleasure to be with!! I'll never look at the weeds growing in the cracks of sidewalks with disdain again.!!
Roni_S, Jul 2021
We had a great tour with Lois! She was very knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. We would definitely recommend it. We learned so many things that we never knew before. She even recommended books and other ways for us to learn more about what she told us. All of us loved the tour.
Ilene_S, Apr 2021
This was a nice three hour tour. We learned a lot of the back history of William Penn and the founding of Philadelphia. Having a driver and a guide made navigating much easier in a private car.
The best part was the last hour where we were driven around the city to see neighborhoods and gentrification. We would have missed a lot of architecture on our own.
Lois was vivacious, animated and a good ambassador for the city.
Christine_B, Mar 2021
Lois was a great guide. We walked around the city and she pointed out things I hadn't heard before. We took part of our tour by car and again went to places in and around the city I hadn't seen before. Lois was friendly and knowledgeable. She was very willing to specialize the tour to what I wanted to see. She also had good suggestions for places to see. I would highly recommend the tour. This tour would be good for couples and families since it is so adorable.
BillyandSandi_S, Feb 2020
We booked a two hour tour with Lois. We ended up changing what we were doing due to wind and cold. Lois drove us to the sights we wanted to see on our own the next day. Was perfect for us.
