Seamus was very knowledgeable, always worried about us w watching our steps due to uneven walkways, interested in any questions we have and great suggestions on how to see sites, where to eat w a 10% discount at a place called Campo’s ( which we used and was so yummy) plus sharing stories that increased our curiosity!!!! Highly recommend this walking tour and doing this tour w Seamus! So glad we did this tour and all we learned!!!

I am a repeat customer of Seamus' Old City Philadelphia walking tour and highly recommend it for Philly locals and visitors alike! Most recently, I booked a tour for family visiting from out of town. It was a fun way for us all to enjoy a nice day and learn about history together; the 90 minutes flew by. Seamus is an engaging and knowledgeable guide who brings local expertise and a sense of humor to the experience. He thoughtfully answers questions and always has memorable anecdotes or trivia to add, which makes each tour you take with him unique.

Touring with Seamus was a lovely experience. He was knowledgeable and shared niche tidbits of info while we strolled around Old City. He managed to make us feel welcome all the while keeping us on a steady course.
He's pretty funny and would be great for a group outing. He gave us some great food recommendations and pointed out some cute spots to grab drinks at later.

Seamus arrived early and since others had cancelled due to rainy weather, we got started a bit early. He was entertaining, knowledgeable and matched our middle-age pace perfectly.
Seamus also gave us some great local recommendations for the rest of our stay! Great price, great value, great guy. Can’t go wrong booking this walking tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Great meeting you folks! Thank you for this awesome review!

Seamus is a star! He’s incredibly knowledgable about the city and its history, and is a great presenter. He kept a great pace and was gracious with my 5 yo old son. Can’t recommend enough if you’re in the city!

Seamus is a fantastic guide, filled to the brim with some of the most interesting trivia about the area I never knew (after 34 years living here). Being a bigger guy, going in I was somewhat concerned about the mobility aspect. Seamus took time to pace himself accordingly, and the experience flew by. Laughs and jokes were had, and I’d recommend this experience to anyone visiting our city, and even those like me who might have never had the pleasure of a detailed walkthrough. 10/10, 5/5, and two thumbs up. Go Rams.
