Awesome historic Philly tour! - This was a fantastic comprehensive historic Philly tour. Tom was very knowledgeable and was able to explain things in a fun way! He was willing to answer our questions as well. He gave us great recommendations for food, coffee and how to explore the historic area even more on our own after the tour. I highly recommend!

Absolutely Incredible!!!! - Absolutely incredible!!!! Way more than we had expected. Tom was very well versed in the history of not only Philadelphia, but each and every historical site we visited. We tried to stump the tour guide, but his level of knowledge was incredible. It was amazing to hear more of the history of our nation from someone who truly enjoys it. I would recommend Tom over and over again for anyone looking for a Historic Walking Tour through Philadelphia. He was also right about the best place to find a cheese steak. It's not the food truck on 6th and market...it's Campo's.
