Incredible tour of a great city

I was kind of wary about visiting Philadelphia because I thought it was dirty and full of crime and angry people, but it’s a beautiful city full of rich culture and history, and food! Adam is such an amazing tour guide! He was incredibly helpful and friendly and made sure I got to see everything I wanted. And the cheesesteak place he took me to was exactly what I was looking for! Not some touristy “Look at me, I’m eating a ‘cheesesteak’ so I can post it on Instagram”, no, he took me to an authentic local place that I loved SO much! It was everything I expected (and wanted) from local Philadelphia culture. He set everything up and planned everything and did all the driving and helped take many photos with myself. And the city itself… wonderful! Please, if you’re on the fence wondering if you should visit… DO IT! I was “forced” to go due to my extreme love of colonial American history, I didn’t actually “want” to go, but it was where all the history was so I had no choice. But I ended up loving the city by the time I left. Actually, I loved it within the first hour! And take the full day 8-hour tour. It sounds like a lot, but there’s so much to do there, even 8 hours will fly by. I know how people think about Philadelphia, believe me I was one of them. But taking the amazing tour with Adam changed my perspective and opened my eyes to a truly beautiful city with vibrant culture and so much history it’ll blow your mind.

Great tour, superb service

We had a great time getting to know Philly, such a beautiful city. Adam really looked after us. During the trip not only did Adam drove us around and explain the historical significance of each spot, Adam also pay close attention to our needs and proactively arrange the best reception from the sites, like calling ahead to let the personnel there know to look out for us. Very much appreciate the thoughtful service. We can highly recommend WeVenture and especially our guide Adam.

Trust the "Process"!

One of the best days I've had in my American vacation. Got to see where the US started. I had the full "Philly" experience. Had a Philly cheesesteak sandwhich at Jim's. Saw the liberty bell, magic garden, independence hall etc. our guide Adam was very knowledgeable and even went the distance to taking us to Kobe Bryant's childhood home and Highschool. Ended our tour with an epic Rocky Balboa running up the Rocky Steps

Amazing Private Tour of Philadelphia with James Robinson!

We had the pleasure of taking a private tour of Philadelphia with James, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. James, a Philly native, brought so much energy and local knowledge to our day. We saw so many incredible parts of the city, from the iconic landmarks to hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. His unique insights and personal stories added such a rich layer to our experience. One of the highlights was how James went above and beyond for my 10-year-old son. My son had mentioned he wanted to visit two states on our trip, so James went out of his way to drive us across the river to New Jersey. We got some fantastic photos by the water with a beautiful view of the Philadelphia skyline. It was such a thoughtful and fun touch that made the day even more special. James made us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend, not just a guide. If you’re looking for an authentic, informative, and personalized tour of Philadelphia, I can’t recommend James enough!

An Awesome Day in Philly!

Tom Courtney, the tour guide, was so knowledgeable about Philadelphia and the historical aspects of the places we visited! He was patient with me because I am a slow walker. The best way to learn is through asking questions and having dialogue which is what we did through the entire tour. I had the opportunity to walk down streets and see markets and old buildings with commentary about them. He is kind, very personable, and since he knows people, we got to hear stories and talk to people. Also, I told him that I will be moving next year so he showed me neighborhoods and the history of those who live there. I highly recommend Tom for tours! Also, being a previous teacher (I am a teacher), I appreciated how much I learned about Philly through Tom! I totally

Fabulous!!

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful day thanks to our guide Adam. He was flexible and allowed us to customize our tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about each site we visited and stopped for photos whenever we wanted as well as food/shopping/restroom breaks. We learned a lot and engaged in fun conversation. We highly recommend WeVenture and Adam!!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this incredible review! Our private driving tours are completely customizable, meaning no two are every alike. If guests have a particular interest in history, our guides will focus on that. If food is you passion, then prepare for a Philly culinary extravaganza. You love art? Well our city has one of the best art scenes in the country and our guides can show it to you. That is the importance of having a knowledgeable local guide behind the wheel!
