Great historical walking tour of the Old City portion of Philadelphia. Our guide John was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Philadelphia. John took us to the highlights along with other less known sights that the average tourist wouldn’t know about.
A great 1.5 hours of history and jokes! Thanks Tim for all the stories and laughs, we REALLY enjoyed our walk around Philadelphia! And we appreciated the times when we sat to listened to you too! :)
Casey was fantastic in presenting his knowledge of the history related to the tour. He was very engaging and made the experience fun and memorable. Bonus points for not shouting the facts at the group. ;-)
Our guide was a good communicator and kept things on schedule. We fully enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to friends
