The South Philly Art Tour was a wonderful opportunity to get aware of all the art you can find everywhere around the streets of south Philly. Thanks to Chuck I now see murals and spot alleys otherwise just overseen. Not to forget some facts and narratives about the artists and the history of Philly. Good to attend at the start of your trip to have time to appreciate all the recommendations.

I was a solo traveller and wanted to explore the South district, and was curious about the murals and Mozaics on the walls. My tour guide : James is a history professor and gave very clear and detailed explanations on the art, history and made the tour very enjoyable. It was definitely an afternoon worth spending.

A really amazing way to see different neighborhoods in S Philly. Our guide, Chuck, was enthusiastic, kind, knowledgeable, immersed in the culture and smart! I would recommend that the weather be close to perfect. It was cold and windy and small glimpses of sun. Got cold. There was a lot of standing around and talking which we think could have been done while walking to avoid "just standing there". But all in all - educational. Fun. Diverse. And we are SO happy we got tickets!

Heather did an amazing job. Even though I grew up in Philadelphia and have been on South St a thousand times I learned something new.
