  • Great tour experience of Philadelphia and New York

    The tour is well worth the price. It was well paced, with thoughtfully chosen stops that made the most of participants’ time. Johnny was an excellent tour guide, highly engaging and generous in sharing his knowledge of Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, DC. He switched seamlessly between English and Chinese and was consistently attentive to the needs of the group. He ensured everyone was comfortable during the entire trip and kept the tour on schedule, allowing us to move smoothly through the itinerary. Keiko also did a wonderful job guiding us through New York on our walking tour while sharing information on sites along the way in both English and Chinese.
