We will visit a number of notable properties during the Discovering Colonial Philadelphia Public Walking Tour. We will see buildings that go back almost to the founding of the city in 1682, in styles such as Georgian, Federal, and many Revival styles and will learn about important events in American history along the way. We do not enter any of the buildings listed on the tour. We will be outside them while I tell you about them and events that occurred in them.

Reid was very knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide, would highly recommend. Gave good overview of different architectural types, American history and behind-the-scenes storylines.
Thank you so much for choosing to tour with me. With so many other options I'm so glad you enjoyed my tour.
Excellent historic tour. Reid knows his stuff on architecture and is highly recommended if you want to drill in on some of that. He is also a charming and entertaining host, the time with him flew by.
Thank you so much for touring with me and for writing such a kind review. I try to do my best on each tour and I'm glad I was able to for you
