City Sightseeing Walking Tour – Gründerväter und Mütter

Go to the website before you buy from Viator. The tour group's season has ended. But they didn't communicate with Viator. So we bought through Viator only to show up for the tour and find out that it was non-existent. Viator was responsive and immediately refunded or money. But it was really disappointing.

The walking tour was exactly what we wanted in a tour. We like to walk and see things up close, and this tour was perfect for that. Norm was our guide and was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Philadelphia. Highly recommend!

It’s a great experience if you just want a general review of the history of Philadelphia. Norm was great with the kids.

Matt was an excellent tour guide. He was personable, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable. I leaned a lot and enjoy the walk throughly.

Don't trust website for tickets. Purchased 4 tickets at 12 noon. No one showed up. Asked a bus driver and he contacted the tour guide. She said it was at 2! Only good thing out of this is the hip on hip off let's us use tickets to ride it . Won't be using Viator again for any tickets!

We never found the location. We we’re on time. Unclear instructions. We waited we walked. Nothing. You got $60 and we got nothing. Never again.

We booked our tour online the night before, and liked the flexible options for start times. When we arrived at rhe recommended time (15 minutes before the tour), we learned that our tour guide had called in sick and a replacement was actively being worked on. It so happened that my husband and I were the only people booked for our tour and we had no schedule so we happily hung out and waited for an update. The manager (Louis) came over to tell us that he would personally be taking us on the tour since our guide called in. He asked for a few minutes to get ready and we told him no problem because we were flexible. People, can I just tell you how AMAZING if a tour we had with Louis?!?! We ended up starting only a few minutes "late," and he is a history lover from the area so was full of random tidbits that may or may not have been part of the "scheduled" tour. He even made some great recommendations for local eats and things to do around town. I know how frustrating it can sometimes be when a curveball is thrown your way but he and we just rolled with it and it was a great afternoon! I would like to think that Louis has trained all of his guides to do a great job like him so would definitely recommend the walking tour if you're up for it!

My tour guide was top notch from start to finish. She was very knowledgable and had a congenial personality. She took the time to engage the customer, invited questions, and provided details at each point of interest. She kept a comfortable pace and was mindful of customer comfort by stopping in shady spots to talk about each location.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and a great story teller. He also helped me find my way to my next stop. I had a lovely time.

It was an amazing experience with our tour guide "David". A special shout-out to David. David patiently shared American history, and, at each location, gave us the opportunity to explore on our own. At no point there was any factor of "lets-go-we are-running-late". He even gave us an opportunity to visit and take photos with the "Liberty Bell". The 1.5-hour tour extended way over to accommodate us. Thank you, David!
