This was an outstanding tour highlighting beautiful and historic Philadelphia. Our guide, Tom, was terrific and made the experience special.

For $780, I was promised a private, 4-hour driving tour through the core city, in a vehicle for four adults, with commentary from an experienced guide. The huge unexpected surprise was that the driver/guide picked us up in Subaru?! We were crammed in and out of this tiny, compact vehicle for the whole tour. I have booked many such private tours and have always been picked up in an oversized SUV or van with plenty of legroom. This car might have been adequate for two tourists but not four, full-sized adults. The guide was very pleasant and tried to accommodate our areas of interest throughout the 4 hours, but the amount of information shared was much less than I have received from previous city tours. For the four of us traveling together, this 4-hours was everyone’s least favorite of the four days we had together. In retrospect, we would have been better off taking large Ubers to and from the places we wanted to see.

Our guide was terrific - extremely knowledgeable and flexible. Learned a great deal about Philly in a short amount of time.

Excellent tour with Jenn. History, art and the learning about the real Philly foods, culture and people. Highly recommend this for an overview of the historical sights and a great way to see a lot of the City. My daughter and I had the best time.

Brooke_W

Jenn was great and super knowledgeable! We saw a ton and learned a lot! I would highly recommend this tour for getting to know the city! Thanks!

Marilee_C

Jen was fantastic as she showed us all the highlights of the city as well as some little hidden gems we never would have known about with our her. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We only had one day to see the sights and she definitely helped us make the best of it!

Walter_B

Jenn was fantastic. Nice, great with kids. Born and raised in Philadelphia she gave us all the inside info of being from Philadelphia. Great tour. Visit to the Italian Market was a highlight. We left with a great feel of the city and it's different eclectic neighborhoods and ultimately, isn't that what you want from a private tour. There is no way we could have done this on our own. Highly recommended tour.

Susan_L

Jenn was a excellent tour guide who shared her love and knowledge of Philadelphia with us. Highlights water works area, Elfreth’s alley, China town, Italian market, etc. Well worth the time.
