This walking guided Liberty Bell tour was the best. Josh, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining! Josh’s story telling ability made the whole tour feel even more interesting than just facts being presented. Josh interacted with everyone in our small group and made sure everyone was shaded and comfortable when he was presenting information.

Was an amazing tour! The tour guide is also a history teacher and it made the best impact for me on the tour. The way he told the descriptions and stories was very engaging. This was an awesome tour, so glad I booked!! And the pretzel at the beginning 🥰🥰

Ed helped us check in and was incredibly helpful. Joseph was a fantastic guide and we really enjoyed his humor. I found our group size was honestly a great size. We had a great time going to see Ben Franklin’s printing press and learned lots of informational things there.

The tour was both enjoyable and informative. Our guide, Elijah, was new to the company, but her expertise was evident. She provided fascinating historical insights into the sites we visited, such as Washington Square, which I had never known about. I highly recommend using them, and will definitely use them again for future tours.

I took the revolution and founding father’s history tour with Vince in the beginning of May and it was outstanding. The tour was so in depth and went through the whole historic area. Vince was amazing and so knowledgeable, he kept it entertaining and personalized it to our group. Sharing facts from each place even internationally our group was from that related to the tour. Was witty with great dad jokes and truly knew his history. I used Gocity to book it and the whole staff was great confirming my time, Vince texted the day before and allowed use to bounce questions off him, we were offered free pretzels as a thank you for taking the tour, truly a 10/10 experience all around.
