Amazing!

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and allowed us ample time to look around at each stop! Definitely recommend.

Quick sampling of American history

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour gave a great, quick look at things like the location of homes of George Washington and Ben Franklin, the exterior of Independence Hall, Franklin’s print shop, the building where the continental congress met, Betsy Ross’ home, Franklin’s grave, and the Liberty Bell through its glass encasement. After the tour, we had an opportunity to go back and revisit many of the sites more closely. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The tour provided a great introduction into Philadelphia’s role in our nation’s independence.

Easy to maneuver, very affordable, tickets were 1.00 and 3.00 and many places free.

This is a very touching experience. As an American, who loves history, and clearly remembers reading this in our school books, I was nearly brought to tears. To stand where our forefathers, the men who fought for their freedom was an amazing experience. Thank heavens for the people that saved these properties and artifacts so we may reflect upon them in these times.

Recommend!

Michael was absolutely amazing. Wonderful knowledge, very personable. He was born and raised in Philly and was able to speak in depth and with pride about the places that were on the tour, and also gave me recommendations about other places to see and places to eat.
