5.00Adam was our guide and not only lead us on a wonderful tour of the gardens - helping us maximize our time there - but he was also solicitous, understanding and respectful when my husband experienced an unanticipated medical incident. We were fortunate to be on the tour with another person who even though we’d never met turned out to be a fun and helpful fellow traveler. We highly recommend this tour- it made our first time at this beautiful landmark memorable and fulfilling.
Safe drive with...

5.00We had perfect weather and a great guide. James was so knowledgeable and about Philadelphia history. My sisters and I chose to wander the gardens on our own . Longwood is so worth seeing. The expanse of flowers, trees, fountains and history was mind boggling. I would go back many times if I lived in Philadelphia. We found out too late about being able to get a motorized cart. My sister was in a wheelchair and would have loved using a cart.

4.00Amazing guide … exceptional knowledge. Beautiful drive to the Longwood gardens and she made it so interesting. We learnt a lot. But you need a full day for this tour and we really were disappointed not to have time to see all that was on offer.
