Got stuck in Philadelphia for a day due to canceled flights. This was the perfect way to spend the time. Adam was a great tour guide, answered some challenging questions and told some great stories. We learned a lot and had a great time.

We are having an American History Spring Break tour. Rick our tour guide filled us with all sorts of good stories and history. We had a lady on our tour that was from another country, he constantly remembered to ask her if she knew the person or the story and would give her a brief background to keep her in the loop. We wanted to go in the Ben Franklin post office and he let us take an extra minute to stop in there. He was good at staying politically neutral, which many of the guides we had in DC and Gettysburg, did not do. I really want to go back to Philly and do another tour with Rick! Would highly recommend!
