Scott was very knowledgeable and professional. This was a bucket list trip and we did it! I highly recommend this tour!
Thanks for your review and recommendation!
What a perfectly fantastic day trip to Philly from NYC with Scott!!! I highly recommend him and this very professional and well run company for all your travel experiences. I had messaged him over all the things we wanted to visit in Philly, some of them were not the norm, and yes, we saw every one of them. As a matter of fact, Scott did not stop until we really did see every single thing on the list I had made. This company was just perfect, from the quick responsiveness in answering all my questions before booking, the reliability in showing up in the early morning when he said he would at our hotel, to his safe driving in his most comfortable Toyota minivan, to his easy going personality, to his knowledge about all the sights we visited and his flexibly and kindness in making sure we really had the best day ever, I can’t say enough about how our expectations were more than met. Despite us only going to Philly for the day, we felt like we really got a great feel for the city and all it’s iconic places and sights!!! Thank you so much, Family in New York, and Scott for the best day tour ever!!! We are so appreciative of your time spent with us and you will be too if you take one of their tours.
Thank you so much for taking time to write a review! We are delighted you enjoyed your day and tour from New York to Philadelphia. May your fond memories of the City of Brotherly Love last you a lifetime. Thank you, again!
