North America's oldest continuously lived on street. Homes dating from 1730, Elfreth's Alley gives you a good idea of what living in Philadelphia was like in the 18th century.

We had a short amount of time and this tour was perfect. Lois is very knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. She makes you feel like friends and is very flexible and helpful to design an itinerary for your tour and made excellent recommendations for our time following the tour. I highly recommend having Lois give you a tour!
Thanks for choosing me and for this review. I know you were in a whirlwind of touring!
Lois gave us a wonderful tour in Philadelphia and we couldn’t have asked for a better day! She customized the tour so that we could see the Philly-Philly statue at the Eagles Stadium, and stopped for all of my photo requests! It was a perfect day!
Thanks for telling me about the statue! It was a fun day.
Judy is an exceptionally intelligent and talented guide. She called ahead to discuss our plan, followed up the day before to confirm, and even texted our meeting point the morning of the tour. Her preparation and knowledge made our private tour through downtown Philadelphia outstanding. The city is already fascinating, but Judy brought it to life in a way that exceeded every expectation. Five-plus stars.
Nice holiday, with an affordable price and good service. The Miracle camera made us feel at home, our room 125 very clean with a nice climate and spectacular pool view. Service in very good pool bar with variety in drink and snack, very clean public toilets and pleasant smell. Very good animation with varied show and mini disc for the little ones at home.
Gracias!!!
Just finished our 3 hour tour with Lois and had an amazing experience! She took us to so many places we wanted to see as we were here such a short time. Lois is so knowledgeable about the history of the city! We felt so comfortable with her! Highly recommend!
Thanks! And hope your trip home was uneventful!
Lois was a wonderful tour guide, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a tour with a personal touch.
Thank you Melissa - this tour was a lot of fun. You and your Mom were so interested, and interesting. Thanks again
Lois is a great tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable and a whole lot of fun. Lois is flexible on the schedule, and she made us feel like friends.
Thanks so much for the review. Not hard being friendly to friendly people!!
Lois was amazing! It was very easy to get everything setup with her for our trip. She was prompt and made sure everyone in our group was taken care of. She was very knowledgeable and showed us all things Philly.
It was absolutely my pleasure to take you guys around!
We had our Sunday morning tour of Philly with Lois. She was on time picking us up at our hotel. She asked us our priority places for us to see, and with that we were off to see Philly. Lois thoroughly explained many history facts and stories that you aren't going to hear anywhere else. We ended our tour time with a recommendation for lunch (we asked for one) and Lois dropped us off there; which was much appreciated. We would definitely recommend the tour!!
Thank you. It's easy to give a great tour with interested and enthusiastic participants. glad your trip was successful.
Lois did a wonderful job telling us about the historical facts of Philadelphia as well as answering our crazy questions. We absolutely enjoyed our time with her and wish we could have had more time. We would have scheduled a full day with her if we could, we had a great time! Thank you Lois!!
You and your family were such fun. Thanks for your enthusiasm!!
