It was a wonderful walk to learn more about Philadelphia's history from a local guide. And the guide was great, providing history points and architectural notes.
Thanks so much for your very kind review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with me. Reid
Reid was excellent. Engaging, friendly, knowledgeable and went above and beyond in terms of giving his time.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I try to make each tour special and lots of fun for my guests.
This was a great tour... We went all over Philadelphia and my guide was extremely knowledgeable and not only did I learn history, I also learned about architecture too. I would highly recommend this tour. I wouldn't take small kids as they might not find it interesting, and it is long. However, older kids would probably do well.
Thanks so much for your kind words and for picking such glorious weather for our tour. I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
