Add a Little Magic to Your Day!

Aki_M, Oct 2024

Our tour guide was warm, friendly and engaging. He performed relevant magic tricks to entertain us, while learning a little bit of history about the sites in Philadelphia. The tour is family-friendly and there were very nice people in my group. It is how one might imagine a school field trip should be-educational, yet entertaining.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks for the 5-star review Aki. I having recently started marketing to high school groups as well, so thanks for that endorsement!

It was a fun time. Rob did a great job incorporating Philadelphia history with his own unique tricks. We ran into some weddings on the way, and he handled it very well. Maybe give your recommendations at the end for places to eat. That's always helpful.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thanks Dororta, it was a pleasure to meet and perform for both of you. Thanks also for the suggestion, I have added an ask me anything to the end of the tour, so I can give recommendations

This was a wonderful experience! We had a great time and would recommend this to anyone traveling in the Philadelphia area.

Great family show

shawn_m, Jul 2022

Bob put on a great show and kept everyone engaged. His up close magic was great and he took us on a tour of lesser visited areas of the city which was fun because we were able to see areas of the city we wouldn't have otherwise seen. I would recommend this show to anyone looking for a tour that's not the typical show

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks for coming on the "Walk" Shawn. I enjoyed speaking with you before the tour and enjoyed meeting your family. I am glad you enjoyed the mix of locations. I wanted this tour to be a unique experience that is a fresh perspective of the City.
