Excellent - Great history knowledge by our leader. Covered lots of territory. Did not like the Reading food court. Overwhelmed by crowds and no place to sit.

EXCELLENT tour by Tom -- highly recommend for business outing!! - Tom was an outstanding tour guide! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and kept our group engaged throughout the entire tour. His storytelling brought the sites of Old City (Philadelphia) to life, and he was always attentive to everyone’s needs. It was clear Tom loves what he does, and it made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized tour for family, friends or business team outings.
