Our guide Marianne was knowledgeable , friendly and accommodating. She gave a very comprehensive tour of the Old City. We truly enjoyed the tour and learned so much.

Please let me clarify that our guide was lovely - it was the tour itself that was poor. We started at the Betsy Ross house as the meeting point. We looked at the outside, were told it wasn't included and so we walked to Christ Church. When we arrived we were told they weren't open yet but we could come back later if we wanted. Same thing with the Benjamin Franklin cemetary. We eventually made our way to Independence Hall to find out that we needed a reservation through the National Parks office. It was 12:30pm and all time slots were sold out for the day. I essentially paid $90 a piece to go into the Carpenter's Building which is FREE. I use viator for every country/city that I visit. The lack of route planning and pre-communication of requirements was unacceptable.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that your guide was lovely, but we’re very sorry that the tour logistics and communication left you so disappointed. We understand your frustration, particularly regarding the site hours and Independence Hall reservations. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

Thank you for your knowledge and one-on-one time.

With this tour, I saw so many historically significant things that my tour guide was able to educate me about that I could not have learned just walking the sites alone. I was the only one scheduled for this tour, so I received a lot of one-on-one commentary and extra time to take photos, which I appreciated. We went over our tour time, but my guide, Jen, also the company's owner, didn't care and urged me to explore. I ended up leaving the tour feeling like a friend and knowing so much more about the history of Philly and our country as a whole. Thank you for caring and taking the time to explore with me.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had such a personalized and enriching experience with Jen. Your appreciation means a lot, and we're glad you left the tour feeling like a friend. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon!
