Fantastic bilingual tour of Philly

5.00Patrick ran an amazing bilingual walking tour of Philadelphia in French and English. He is knowledgeable and personable and knows how to make history come alive. Patrick was very flexible and accommodating to our needs, finding shaded areas to hide from the sun on a very hot day. He was able to tailor our tour exactly to what we wanted to see, and Patrick was sure to include “off the beaten path” sites that we know other tourists would never ordinarily see. Patrick gave us excellent advice regarding hotels and restaurants and he went above and beyond what was expected— helping plan our entire weekend in Philadelphia. He is quite a find and is very talented and should be sought out for your next visit to Philly!
Historical walking tour with Patrick.

5.00Our history tour with Patrick was magical. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Philadelphia and the birth of our country. This tour made our visit extremely special. My wife and I loved the history and Patrick’s desire to take us to places and share stories you won’t see on any other tour.
Beautiful discovery of Philadelphia and its history

5.00We were lucky enough to be accompanied by Patrick on our trip to the United States, especially San Francisco. A passionate, caring and always attentive guide who knows how to transmit his love for the city and its history with enthusiasm. Thanks to its anecdotes, practical advice and great availability, we were able to discover San Francisco from an authentic and lively angle. Many thanks for his professionalism and good humor that made this trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Patrick to all those who want to live a rewarding and friendly experience!

5.00Patrick is a lovely person, he is alive and he is a real Phily enthusiast! It succeeds brilliantly in interest you in the history of a city, even if you are not a fan of history. And he managed to do it with great humor and humility, with well-chosen anecdotes.
Great Philadelphia Walking Tour

5.00My husband and I did a private architectural walking tour with Patrick in Philadelphia which was just fantastic. It was actually our third day in the city and not our first tour, but Patrick really was so great at describing the history of the development of the city in a way I hadn't understood until that point. He was immensely knowledgeable and charming, was able to answer all of our questions, and never rushed us as we went. Definitely a high quality, fun tour worth booking!
Fabulous!
