O Grande Comédia Magic Walking Tour

We had a great time! It was informative, engaging, and we learned a lot of magic along the way. A great experience for anyone who enjoys learning something new.

Our guide has a huge nonstop smile. Seemed to love what he does. I couldn't figure out any of his neat tricks. Enjoyed the waling and the history - some of which I did not already know.

good experience for people who were looking to combine entertainment with a walking tour of Old City Philadelphia.

A really lovely fun experience. Rob was an amazing tour guide. This is one of the most delightful and fun things I've done in Philly! I would highly recommend taking this tour!.

The tour was quirky and fun. Rob adds humor, history, and intrique to each stop along the way. The magic tricks were impressive- still scratching my head over how he pulled them off. This is a one of a kind walking tour experience that I would highly recommend whether you're a local or a visitor to the area. Spoiler alert - there will be Broadway tunes 😉

What a fun way to explore Old City! Robert was fantastic. We came for the magic and learned some new history facts we hadn’t learned on other Philly walking tours too!

Bob is the consummate entertainer. He regaled us with little-known facts about our Founding Fathers, reaching into the past to make them more accessible to we modern students of history, and delighting us with his magician skills and clever songs. This is can't-miss entertainment if you're a visitor to Philadelphia or even if you're a native Philadelphian. He is a local treasure. Check him out if you're looking for a fun time and picking up a few historical anecdotes from America's early days. Perfect way to celebrate our 250th anniversary!

We booked this tour because we wanted to go into the city but didn't have a plan besides wandering around. We were not disappointed. Rob's close up magic and silly jokes were so entertaining and the little historical tidbits along the way were quite interesting as well. We'd walk a bit then stop somewhere in the shade for a story and a trick that he tied in with his story. Rob made everyone feel welcome and comfortable and it was a great way to spend an hour and a half or so in Philly.

This was a fun and different event where we learned new things about the city's history and saw some good magic tricks while having a laugh. I bought as a gift for my sister and we both enjoyed it. I don't know how he did the magic tricks, but they were all good and Rob was very funny. I'd recommend for anyone who enjoys magic and history. Good way for kids to learn some stuff too. The tour is over an hour and it is in Old City section with older streets, cobblestone and brick. If you have mobility issues, the walking will be an issue, but I believe they now have a "seated" tour which might be a better option for you. Also, for those not familiar with the area, the Bourse building, where you meet is now closed. We still met outside of there, but you are very close to the visitor center only a couple blocks away so I suggest you get there early so you can use restrooms there and then walk over to the Bourse to meet up and check in.

Excellent tour. So fun and we learned lots too. Just the right amount of walking and magic and fun!!!
