Perfect walking tour! I definitely recommend! - The walking tour was amazing! I went on my own, found everything very easily and loved the stories and facts! This way of sightseeing lets you walk your own pace, make as many or few stops as you want and you can listen to the audio several times. I only had a day in Philadelphia and the tour brought me to all the right places! Thank you, Greg!

Weekend Trip to Independence Hall - Loved this tour. Tour owner was very responsive to our texts & tour guide (Dr. Arnold) was awesome. He had a deep understanding of history, answered all our questions, & was very entertaining. Plus he brought these awesome pretzels for the walk. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great historic tour of the area around Independence Hall.

Fine, but but particularly necessary - Easy to figure out. Tour guide was great and approachable, but some of the main stops weren't in the tour. Also, most of the tour info was things we already knew. I was going for some interesting and obscure facts, but they were brief descriptions of the sites and my children lost interest. I did like that we could go at our own pace and stop along the way, but I didn't necessarily feel that we profited much from the tour. Fortunately, it was very reasonable, so I was fine with the amount we spent on it.
