My name is Tom and I am History Swiftly. I am a U.S. history teacher in a local, suburban school district and am passionate about teaching history and sharing that love of history. Over the last 20+ years as a teacher, I’ve taken students from Quebec City to Boston to Gettysburg to Annapolis to Washington. Philadelphia is always a favorite tour. I enjoy sharing all of the wonderful history and fun Philadelphia has to offer and offer recommendations on how best to see the city!
If you're visiting Philly, make sure to join Thomas's free walking tour. As a history teacher, he knows the city inside and out and brings its rich past to life.
I would highly recommending doing a historical tour of Philly with Thomas. He is a knowledgeable man with great stories and entertaining for people of all ages. The tour is a great way to learn about the history of the America in a fun way.
The Guruwalk I have ever had. Amazing human being.
Thomas was very lively and passionate, which made learning about all the historical sights both informative and engaging. He was very friendly, open, and willing to answer any and all questions. We had a great time!
