Magic, history and singing!
The tour was quirky and fun. Rob adds humor, history, and intrique to each stop along the way. The magic tricks were impressive- still scratching my head over how he pulled them off. This is a one of a kind walking tour experience that I would highly recommend whether you're a local or a visitor to the area. Spoiler alert - there will be Broadway tunes 😉

History Brought to Life Through Great Storytelling
Our guide was so much fun—warm, funny, and really engaging. I especially loved that she told detailed stories that brought the history to life, rather than just rattling off names and dates. It felt much more like great storytelling than a history lesson, and made the tour memorable. Highly recommend!

Very informative and fun way to start our trip in Philly.
We truly enjoyed this 2.5 hour Philadelphia History tour. Our tour guide, Carla, was awesome. She was friendly and professional and very knowledgeable. We learned so much that we never knew or had forgotten about Philadelphia’s role in the birth of our nation. She made an effort to find places for us to sit in the shade while she talked and gave us lots of opportunities to ask questions. I would highly recommend this tour to begin your trip to Philly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Barry. He was very knowledgeable and shared a great deal of information throughout the tour. He also gave us lots of tips on where to eat and where to visit on our own as well as answering questions. It was a first time in Philadelphia for most of us and we left with a new appreciation for this beautiful and historic city.
