This was a very interesting tour with a knowledgeable, expert guide. We live in Philadelphia and learned a lot about buildings we walk past nearly every day.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour and learned a bit more about the buildings around you. Philly is a fascinating city architecturally with an over 300 year history.

Wonderful tour. I highly recommend this if you are interested in Philadelphia’s amazing buildings. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions about the history of the city and how that related to the buildings we saw. He was also genuinely enthusiastic about the city. Great tour!
