I put it in simple words: James Robinson is da man! James did a really great job by providing us with great insights and rocky facts. It helped a lot that he is funny, clever and a true rocky fan. Jame teached history before. So no matter how hart the question: jmhe nailed it. The tour was a gift for a friend of mine and my friend was really happy and moved to tears. James: Thank you!

Adam was a fantastic guide and a genuinely cool guy. His knowledge about the Rocky movies and Philadelphia was so impressive. Every minute of the 4-hour tour was packed with something interesting. We left with a renewed appreciation for Rocky, Philly and all the cool things that make the two topics inseparable.
We look forward to booking more tours through We Venture and the opportunity to learn more from Adam!

The Rocky Tour was such a fun way of experiencing Philly. Our tour guide (Owen) was personable and knowledgeable . He was very accommodating when we asked to stop and take photos that were not part of the Rocky sites. I recommend this tour to first time visitors.
