December 2024 Walking Tour Philly - I really enjoyed my walking tour yesterday with Tours by Foot. Even though it was the coldest day of the year so far, walking around and learning about Philly proved to be one of the highlights of my day. I learned a lot in the 2 hour tour. It started at 10:30 am at Betsey Ross' house and ended at the Liberty Bell around 12:30 pm. The group was small and intimate, which was nice and allowed for our guide to answer all our questions and have conversations with each of us as we walked. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and, as this was my first time in Philly, I would definitely be back and do the tour again, when it's warmer.

Highly recommend this your - Glenn was a great tour guide. Lots of stories both historical and contemporary (all about parking tickets and how to order Philly cheesesteaks like a local). He was entertaining and knowledgeable. The group was small, 6 people, so it was easy to hear and negotiate spaces. I booked my tour 30 minutes before it started and my name was on the list when I showed up- seamless. Recommend
