5.00This was a nice relaxing way to learn about the history of Philly. And in this route i was able to map out the places I wanted to go to and spend more time. The guide we had was very knowledgeable in her history of the city. Would definitely recommend!
Quick way to see the highlights.

3.00I think this could be a very good tour. We were delayed due to rain. Then we started and it completely downpoured on us the whole time. We didn’t get to see everything and not able to take pictures as we went through the tour so fast that u didn’t have a chance to take pictures.
