Some history did not told by guide. She was very knowledgeable. Would have loved just few extra min at sites to read plaques/etc

kellyq932

Very informative tour. Our guide V was a wealth of knowledge and even gave local recommendations for food and sights. Highly recommend

Justin_B

The guide kept getting confused and ad.itted that he often gets lost (not physically) at one point on the tour.

DianeJDK

Our trip leader at 2pm on Thursday, Dec 29 was extraordinary! He shared an amazing amount of information in a very coherent and enjoyable way. He is extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with our guide (sorry but I forget his name) to everyone!

Jason_A

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.

aliceedc

The tour was very informative. The tour guide was quite knowledgeable. Had a great time even with the rain.

Our tour guide Viv was absolutely fantastic! We reached out about leading a walking tour that connected to the book, Fever 1793, that we are reading with our 6th graders. Prior to arriving, Viv checked in about where we were in the novel to avoid spoilers and made adjustments on the spot when we asked to include information about Dock Creek in support out our waterways science unit. He was funny, loud, personable, and really well informed easily answering our students' questions and engaging them in their learning. Thank you, Viv!

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!

Stacy_A

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!

James_M

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
