Great tour, superb service - We had a great time getting to know Philly, such a beautiful city. Adam really looked after us. During the trip not only did Adam drove us around and explain the historical significance of each spot, Adam also pay close attention to our needs and proactively arrange the best reception from the sites, like calling ahead to let the personnel there know to look out for us. Very much appreciate the thoughtful service. We can highly recommend WeVenture and especially our guide Adam.

Trust the "Process"! - One of the best days I've had in my American vacation. Got to see where the US started. I had the full "Philly" experience. Had a Philly cheesesteak sandwhich at Jim's. Saw the liberty bell, magic garden, independence hall etc. our guide Adam was very knowledgeable and even went the distance to taking us to Kobe Bryant's childhood home and Highschool. Ended our tour with an epic Rocky Balboa running up the Rocky Steps

Amazing Private Tour of Philadelphia with James Robinson! - We had the pleasure of taking a private tour of Philadelphia with James, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. James, a Philly native, brought so much energy and local knowledge to our day. We saw so many incredible parts of the city, from the iconic landmarks to hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own. His unique insights and personal stories added such a rich layer to our experience.
One of the highlights was how James went above and beyond for my 10-year-old son. My son had mentioned he wanted to visit two states on our trip, so James went out of his way to drive us across the river to New Jersey. We got some fantastic photos by the water with a beautiful view of the Philadelphia skyline. It was such a thoughtful and fun touch that made the day even more special.
James made us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend, not just a guide. If you’re looking for an authentic, informative, and personalized tour of Philadelphia, I can’t recommend James enough!

An Awesome Day in Philly! - Tom Courtney, the tour guide, was so knowledgeable about Philadelphia and the historical aspects of the places we visited! He was patient with me because I am a slow walker. The best way to learn is through asking questions and having dialogue which is what we did through the entire tour. I had the opportunity to walk down streets and see markets and old buildings with
commentary about them. He is kind, very personable, and since he knows people, we got to hear stories and talk to people. Also, I told him that I will be moving next year so he showed me neighborhoods and the history of those who live there.
I highly recommend Tom for tours! Also, being a previous teacher (I am a teacher), I appreciated how much I learned about Philly through Tom!

Fabulous!! - My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful day thanks to our guide Adam. He was flexible and allowed us to customize our tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about each site we visited and stopped for photos whenever we wanted as well as food/shopping/restroom breaks. We learned a lot and engaged in fun conversation. We highly recommend WeVenture and Adam!!

Adam is THE man! - The 5 star rating was totally based on not only the expertise of our driver, Adam but his cheerful personality and enjoyable disposition. He is hugely knowledgeable about the area and offered “did you know…” details about the areas we traversed. Adam made the day so much fun and relaxing at the same time.
Ask for Adam, you will have a blast!
