We really enjoyed our walking tour w Alex! He is very personable and informative about all of this places we went, as well as about Philly in general. He answered a lot of questions- a lot- up to where to eat afterwards! The selected places really gave us a good view of old Philadelphia, and the discussion put it in context. We will be going back to the Museum of the American Revolution! This tour was a great value
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Kathryn! We are very happy to partner with the Museum of the American Revolution to give our guests a full and memorable look at our city's history. The George Washington Tent presentation (included in our tour) is truly amazing, and the discounted general admission rate our guests receive at the museum is indeed a great value. That museum is one of the best in the city!

Tom did a great job of making the tour enjoyable and informative. He shared a lot of facts we were unaware of regarding our founding fathers.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Charlotte! Our guides do a great job of presenting facts through amazing storytelling. Our tours aren't lectures...they are more like a stroll through a beautiful neighborhood with a friend.
