Great tour from Keshler on the half day private tour. Saw historic and newer parts of Philly. A lot of facts and information.
Jen was wonderful and very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her hometown. We were able to see everything we wanted plus some other off the beaten path gems known only by locals.
Keshler was the best. He taught us so very much about the history and the timeline of the Capitol that was Philadelphia. He was patient as we had a stroller with us and he didn’t rush. Stopped for breaks and was an overall an EXCELLENT experience!!!
Dear Louise, thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! it's fantastic to hear that you were able to learn a lot of the history and the timeline of the Capitol that was Philadelphia from Keshler. He will be thrilled to hear you had an excellent time with him! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind words. Your review means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back on another Travel Curious adventure. Happy exploring!
Keshler was engaging and enthusiastic about his city. Enjoyed everything except the heat but I did know what I was getting into. Also appreciated his flexibility when my flight was delayed and travel to Philadelphia got complicated. Also loved the ice cream😊
I tried uploading pictures, but it was not working. Keshler did a fabulous job taking us around. He kept us entertained even though we were getting drenched. We saw so much and he was knowledgeable. I’m so glad we went on this tour. Saw Ben Franklin’s grave, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell through a window since the line was long, Betsy Ross’s house, Ben Franklin’s house, murals, reading terminal market, Elfreth’s alley. Full of historical sites and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Keshler from your friends in Kansas
The tour guide customized our trip to meet the needs of our high school AP US History son. She was very through and we learned things not printed in history books. Thank you! Highly recommended!
