Free Tours en Filadelfia

Tom is amazing! I went on his tour a few months ago and then went a second time with my family. He is well spoken, chooses great stories to tell, and truly enjoys doing this!

We really enjoined the tour! Thanks!

Pleasant personality, very approachable & helpful. Excellent guide in English, clear concise & loud (haha can hear even thiogh I was last un line bz catching shots of Fall foliage). U are awesome.😘❤️

Thomas, a middle school history teacher and tour guide did a fantastic job. His knowledge and teaching skills were in full display with facts and dates rolling off his tongue effortlessly. He kept us engaged with trivia questions (and Starburst)! He also had great recommendations for Museums, Reading Terminal Market and other Philly attractions. This tour was much better than many of the more expensive paid tours on TripAdvisor. Don’t hesitate to book with Thomas.

Great great tour!! Loved it!

Amazing walking tour and guide - Tom was easily the best GuruWalks guide I've experienced. Highly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, entertaining, and hospitable (with hot tea provided for the group). Interesting tour route. Outstanding experience overall - do not hesitate to book!

This was a great tour of Philadelphia history and my favorite Guru Walk I’ve ever taken! Thomas included many details into the tour which made the experience above and beyond. He had Starbursts for when we got a history answer right (or even when we were close!), hot tea for the drizzly day, and ponchos for when it started to rain. Beyond the obvious care and preparation he puts into making sure everyone has the best experience, he was a wealth of knowledge about any of our questions and took us through many great Philadelphia highlights, giving us historical context about those places I wouldn’t know if I was just walking around on my own. Highly recommend this tour!

Thomas is a high school history teacher. Knows his stuff and his material is very well framed in story and dialogue format. Sometimes even from the point of view of the people in history. He also had candy for right answers and kept kids and people engaged. I walked with a 3 kids, a 10, 6 and 5 year old who were able to walk and found the tour very interesting. Towards the end my 5 year old was getting tired of walking but there were many places where we were allowed to find a bench, sit and listen. Tom had even packed some cinamon pumpkin tea and paper cups for us. Which was such a treat! He said his aim was for more people to like his city. We sure enjoyed his city and look fwd to coming back!

Great tour!!!

Tom was engaging and terrific at curating and delivering the historical information. We loved the pacing and content. He’s the high school history teacher we all wished we’d had. A wonderful way to spend a couple hours on our first morning in Philadelphia.

We had a wonderful morning touring historic Philly with Tom! His love for history along with his storytelling talent (probably enhanced through his experience as an eighth grade history teacher) kept our attention and made the time fly. Tom is a genuinely caring and thoughtful person and I hope to have another tour with him someday.

What a great way to start a visit to this lovely city! Thomas is an amazing guide, so much knowledge and such a great way to pass it on! Super likable and really made us wish we could just take him with us for the rest of the trip :) thank you!

Thomas is amazing. Phenomenal tour and very engaging. We loved it!

It was one of the best freetour I ever had. It was so much fun and learned a lot today! Tom was a fantastic tour guide.

Thomas was an exceptional tour guide! Insightful, well paced, plenty of opportunities to sit while still being able to explore a beautiful city. So greatful for his time and expertise!

One of the best tour guides I've ever had! Highly recommended

Thomas was awesome. Just the right level of detail of info and he was super helpful and kind. He even passed out treats for answering his trivia questions right. We saw another very loud shouts guide and were glad we were not on that tour.

This was one of the best walking tours I have been on and Thomas was the perfect tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable, really attentive and energetic throughout. My group had a lot of questions and he answered them so well. His stories and knowledgeable made the tour super interesting and I learnt so much not only about Philadelphia's history but America's history too. Thomas also told us the facts without adding a political agenda. I felt like he was very considerate and made everyone feel super welcome and comfortable.

Thomas was brilliant! Very knowledgeable, very entertaining, good walking speed and very interesting sites and stories. Highly recommended!

Tom is an amazing tour guide, who is knowledgeable and eloquent. As a teacher he knows how to engage the audience. The whole walking tour is not only educational but also entertaining. He is the best!

Great tour. Learnt alot. Visited all the key spots.

One of the best walking tour I've ever did. Thomas was excellent. I highly recommend this tour! Don't miss it!

One of the best guided tours we’ve ever done, Thomas was very knowledgeable and constantly rewarded us with candies along the way. If we could we wouldn’t take a tour with him in every state we visited. Really recommend!!

One of the best free walking tours I’ve ever been on (and I’ve been joining free walking tours across the world for 10+ years). Thomas was so engaging! His delivery and information was top-notch. This tour is a wonderful dive into US American revolution history in Philadelphia and you get to learn about it right in the places it happened! Don’t hesitate - book this tour!

This was a really great tour! It was very informative and Thomas shared a lot of historical knowledge. That was the best part in learning more of how the city evolved from the beginning.
