It was a wonderful walk...

It was a wonderful walk to learn more about Philadelphia's history from a local guide. And the guide was great, providing history points and architectural notes.

This was a great tour......

Christine_B, Mar 2021
This was a great tour... We went all over Philadelphia and my guide was extremely knowledgeable and not only did I learn history, I also learned about architecture too. I would highly recommend this tour. I wouldn't take small kids as they might not find it interesting, and it is long. However, older kids would probably do well.

Response from Host, Mar 2021
