A very informative self guided tour about architecture in Philadelphia downtown

Philippe_P, Oct 2022

Information about the different architectural styles in Philadelphia. Many explanations about City Hall, PAFA and Masonic temple.

Very informative easy to follow wonderful tour

Kelly_J, Jul 2022

We love the tour. It was so easy to follow and the architect was so informative and really hit on the key points. It covered several areas of Philadelphia that I was not familiar with and therefore really had given me a different flavor for a different period of time of architecture
