Our tour guide was...

Our tour guide was friendly, engaging and obviously very enthusiastic about Philadelphia. I was hoping for more detailed historical information throughout the tour and more opportunities to visit certain sites listed in the description of the tour on the website. Our tour did last two hours but we missed certain sites that would have been interesting to my husband, myself and my grandchildren. I realize that its a very busy time in the city and some areas were crowded.

Annie was wonderful.

Annie toured us through the historic sites of Philly. A highlight was the Quaker Meeting House. We loved our morning together.

A total ripoff

Even though our guide was very nice she had very limited knowledge of the area. This was a total rip off. I have used Viator extensively in the past with great success, I paid 260.00 for a two hour tour, I got an 1 hour and 45 minute tour that I had to help out with, a really bad experience.

Walking Tour with Annie - Simply the Best

What an amazing two hours with Annie. She showed the City of Philadelphia in a fun, interactive and informative manner. We could’ve have asked for or found a better tour guide.
