We did a wonderful walking tour of Old City with Lois for the family (kids ages: 11, 14, 16) over the holidays. She enlightened us about all of the great sites, made sure we popped in to places we might have skipped on our own (e.g. Franklin Court Printing Office which would have been a mistake to miss), and shared fascinating historical family drama related to William Penn and Benjamin Franklin making settling in Philadelphia. Thank you, Lois!

rachel_M

Lois was absolutely fabulous! She is very knowledgeable of Philly's history. She let us decide our pace but made sure we got to see everything we could. She's pretty funny too! Def Recommend!

Enjoyed our 3 hour tour with Lois. She grew up in Philly and had lots of great information & insights in the area. It was a combination of driving and walking. Saw all the major historical sights and drove around different areas of the city. It was a great introduction to Philadelphia since I had never been before. Highly recommend this experience.

Carole_S

Lois was knowledgeable and patient as we were slower with a wheelchair. The history of Philly was very interesting. Seeing the historic buildings helps the history come to life. Thank you.

Lois is a lifelong resident of Philly so has an abundance of local information. She was personable, accommodating and a wealth of knowledge about the city. Highly recommend!

Ann_P

Lois was our wonderful tour guide. We were running late for our meeting time and she could not have been nicer or more flexible with us about it. She told us the tour was ours. Since it was our first visit to Philadelphia, she took us to all the tourist highlights but if you have been to Philly in the past, then she can find some nooks and crannies or hidden gems for you to explore. We wanted to take some quick photos at a couple of places so she would stop, let us out of car and then come back and get us a few minutes later since parking is at a premium in the city. It was a great way to see all the parts of the city in a safe fun way! Would highly recommend!

Cecil_N

Lois was very knowledgeable and friendly. Got to see Liberty Bell, which was our main objective. Highly recommend this guide and tour

Jamie_B

My mom and I had a wonderful personal tour with Lois. She picked us up promptly at our Airbnb. She took us all around the city to see and do things we wanted to do like the Magic Gardens, Liberty Bell, and Pats Cheesecake. Then she took us to a few new things she thought we would enjoy and we did like most of the collages and Elfreth’s Alley. She even introduced us to this local bakery that had the best cannoli. Lois was very knowledgeable about Philly and so friendly. She even dropped us off at the museum of our choice at the end of the tour. She was worth every penny. We would highly recommend anyone that wanted a great personal tour to take this tour with Lois. Tip: The more information you provide Lois with what you want to do the more she will be able to personalize it to you and your wants.

Darryl_M

Lois was very knowledgeable and did a great job of showing us the city. She also was able to answer all of our questions!
