Some history did not told...
Tracy_S, Apr 2024
Some history did not told by guide. She was very knowledgeable. Would have loved just few extra min at sites to read plaques/etc
Unfortunate
Justin_B, Apr 2024
The guide kept getting confused and ad.itted that he often gets lost (not physically) at one point on the tour.
For the price, it was ok.
Jason_A, Nov 2023
It was an ok experience. The guide knew a lot, but was somewhat awkward. Didn't expect to see every sight from a distance and often not even from the front, so very strange.
Paid for nothing!
Leyla_M, Nov 2023
Uber driver took me to the slightly wrong place. I called number provided by tour 2155251776 to get help to find the meeting point. Never get an answer. Then I found those 3 benches myself and called again to ask where I can join the group. No answer. I left a voicemail. No one never reacted. I just paid for spending 30 minutes trying to get respond and feeling frustrating. Worst experience in Philadelphia!
History with Enthusiasm!

Our tour guide ( Michael S.) shared so much wonderful history - and fabulous anecdotes that made our tour come alive. The tour was the perfect introduction to this historic area!
Just walked site to site.
James_M, Nov 2023
Just walked site to site. Would have preferred going in to see some site (like Liberty Bell) rather than going to outside and pointing to the 20 sites... A lot of 'inside here....' but never went inside
Great tour

Dexter_J, Aug 2023
Our guide was a historian and carefully explained the significance of each place we stopped. Outstanding way to learn about Philadelphia and the early years of the Republic.
excellent in depth Philly history
Benjamin_F, Aug 2023
Was looking for an in depth history tour through Philadelphia with my son and indeed, I did find it. Tour moved not too fast or slow. Saw plenty of the main sites and got a rich historical narrative. We don't enter any buildings, but plenty of time to do that on a second round for anyone who chooses to do so. Vee is excellent. glad this was a centered tour.
Great tour!
Michael_M, Aug 2023
Vee was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was worth every penny! Since the form requires more words to be able to submit: the sky is blue.
Our guide was very patient and knowledgeable. Great overview of the history of Philly and our nation.
Diann_C, Jul 2023
Hearing the history that I was unaware of. I thought the information about the central banking system was especially enlightening.
A tour de force!
