Philadelphia Half Day driving tour - Adam Clements with WeVenture was both knowledgeable and entertaining. We had a great day and learned so much about our country’s history, seeing the sights of Old Philly, and having our first Philly Cheesesteak. We would never have been able to do all this on our own. Great day!

Ask for Adam - Our guide Adam was so knowledgeable as well as entertaining! He told lots of fun stories of historical people and places. We even stopped for Philly steaks for lunch at his favorite spot.

Amazing Tour - Tom, our tour guide, was amazing! He picked us up at our hotel. We booked the 4 hour tour but he went over by almost an hour (thank you Tom!). The first thing he did was ask us what we wanted to see, and he tailored the tour to us. I have a son that loves Rocky. I tried to book the Rocky tour but the Rocky tour gets booked up months in advance, so we asked Tom if he could include things from the Rocky tour but also include the history part of the tour in old town. It was amazing! He is so knowledgeable in Philadelphia history and Rocky. He also made the tour fun-he has a great personality. We were all extremely impressed by his knowledge. Thank you Tom!

This tour is a must! - We cannot say enough about how amazing this tour was for us. Adam, our guide, packed a whole lot into the time we had in Philly! He has an incredible amount of knowledge and loves his job. We took a lot of photos, sharing just a few. Thanks again WeVenture and Adam! Rick &Robin from Montana

Bad - They cancelled on me at the last minute and made no effort to try to fix the situation. We were left without tickets to major sites. Very bad service.

Would not recommend - Do not recommend at all. We have been on similar history tours of Boston, Chicago and D.C. etc and they were all excellent. This was by far our least enjoyed tour we’ve ever taken. It was like having your uncle, who doesn’t like you, being forced to show you around town at Thanksgiving.
