Great way to plan out your trip and get some local knowledge. And looking at the site at night was wonderful.
Enjoyed seeing Philly at night. Very informative. Good tour if you have never been to Philadelphia.
The trip was good. The guide knew the area. It worked well as our first introduction to Philadelphia. The nice part was we were right across from the Reading Market which has several good places to eat and buy treats.
Sit as close to the tour guide as you can. Can be hard to hear sometimes with the traffic. But Zane the guide was really good. Really cool to see all the sites lit up at night.
This was an amazing tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very funny. I can’t remember his name, but he was amazing. Gave different recommendations to food and drinks and answered questions. I would definitely recommend this tour. I will so impressed. I’m going to schedule a daytime tour.
Loved the experience and the lady that did the tour (I can’t remember her name). She was hilarious, extremely informative and everything she showed us was interesting. We left the spot at 8 pm and it was over a little before 9:30 pm. We had a lot of fun, more than expected, and highly recommend!
My son-in-law is from the area and he didn't realize how much history is here. The tour was very informative with friendly guides, and beautiful history.
So much to take in! It’s a great introduction to the city. We would definitely take the tour again!
amazing experience - very informative-
Perfect weather and lots of information. Hillary was fantastic and made the experience memorable. Thanks!
