Our tour hide, Tom Cortney, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable of the history and took time to thoughtfully explain each site. We left feeling as if we had an ideal overview of the the impact that Philadelphia had on our nation’s history.

Greg gave us a very informed introduction to the city and its history. As a Quaker I was obviously interested in how the early Friends such as William Penn had felt led to shape the city as they did, and when quizzed, Greg know all the answers. So many tour guides just repeat the same old stuff to every group, but Greg made us feel that this tour had been put together just for us! Brilliant and highly recommended.

We felt lucky with a great weather day, a perfect one for a walk thru Old City Philadelphia history with Seamus, our Guide. Seamus was so helpful , offering suggestions for our weekend in Philly, and was also very knowledgable, while still keeping us on time with the tour. I recommend having a refueling bite to eat after the tour- cheesesteaks are plentiful in the area, and then continuing the on your own for as much or little time you have. Lots of interesting things to see.

Sheamus our guide was outstanding. We had a group of 9 and everyone from 65 to 1 enjoyed. It was a raining day, but that didn't stop us. Sheamus was informative, witty and gave enough details not to overwhelm. We traveled in a circle so not extensive walking.
