Barry, our guide was fantastic!! He made the experience feel like a private tour, ensuring we all were comfortable and having a good time. The food in the tour was great! I liked that we had stops along the way to Reading Terminal Market. Barry shares historical notes along our tour which really helped round out our experience. We never felt rushed and left with full bellies :)

This was a great bargain and a really efficient way to see the sights of Philly in a day. We stayed on the bus for the full 90 minutes to see everything, then went partially around again to get off at certain stops. Our guide talked nonstop giving us all of the background info we wanted to hear. We highly recommend this tour.

Even a Philly Native Learned Something New!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐We booked this experience as a family outing, and it turned out to be such a wonderful experience! Being from Philly myself, I’ve always known the city, but I realized I had never really taken the time to be a tourist and truly explore it. With family coming from around the tri-state area, this was the perfect opportunity for us to experience Philadelphia together in a completely different way.We walked away with an even greater appreciation for the city, its incredible history, and all the stories that make Philadelphia so special. Andy, our guide, was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and able to answer all of our questions. What impressed us most was his genuine love and admiration for Philadelphia, even though he isn’t originally from the city. His enthusiasm was contagious and really added to the experience.We laughed, learned, explored, and had a great time as a family. It was one of those experiences that reminds you that sometimes you can live near or even in a city and still have so much left to discover.Absolutely a 5-star experience! We would highly recommend this tour to both visitors and locals who want to see Philly from a different perspective. Andy was an amazing guide, and we’re so glad we booked this experience!
