My partner and I took this tour to celebrate her birthday and we had so much fun - it ended up being just us and Joey so we got an excellent, very personalized tour!

This was such a wonderful tour and the highlight of our trip to Philadelphia. Joey was our guide and he was so gracious and accommodating before the tour even began. Throughout the tour itself, he provided so many fascinating insights and delivered the information in such an engaging, thoughtful, and humorous way. If you’re looking for a tour that goes beyond the familiar history and people one associates with Philadelphia, one that incorporates the lesser known yet no less important facts and historical figures of the city, this tour in exactly as advertised and you won’t be disappointed.
