We had a great time on our tour of Philadelphia with Angus! The tour was super informative, and Angus was incredibly friendly and fun. He also went above and beyond by giving us lots of great tips and recommendations for things to do in the city beyond the tour itself. You can really tell he enjoys what he does and wants his guests to have the best possible experience. We’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Philly!

Eli was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable, funny, entertaining and engaging. The tour picked up on little details that really brought history to life and made what he told us more memorable. He had really thought of everything, from bringing coins to throw on Franklin's grave to giving us old newspapers to sit down on cold benches. Eli very thoughtfully provided snacks and water and provided plenty of opportunities to sit in the shade. He was very mindful of different accessibility needs. I highly recommend this tour as it was the perfect amount of information at a good pace.

Great storyteller, honest about when he didn’t know a fact but quickly looked it up! Engaged us in conversation as we walked around to see popular historic sites. Would take another tour with Angus anytime!

We had a wonderful walking tour of Philadelphia with Angus this morning! He was right on time, and our two-hour tour ran a little longer as we explored about 14 stops. I learned so much, and his cheerful personality made the whole experience enjoyable. We had a laugh about a Scotsman knowing so much about Philadelphia—he certainly knows his stuff! Angus is easygoing, easy to talk to, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!

Our tour leader, Diamond, is an avid historian and enthusiastic about her home town. The tour was very informative, and she had plenty of advice regarding visiting Philadelphia, restaurants, bars, etc. Highly recommended!

Even though I’ve lived in Philly for years, I had never taken an official tour of the city, so this was a nice change of pace! I got my history fix, learned a few new things, AND the tour stopped at my favorite place to eat in Philly, Reading Terminal Market! Diamond was personable, punctual, and knowledgeable. She broke the history down into bite-sized pieces that made learning fun again! The tour was engaging, informative, and a great way to experience the city from a different perspective, even as a longtime Philly resident. Whether you’re visiting Philly for the first time or have lived here for years, there’s always something new to discover. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience and would absolutely recommend it.

Angus is a knowledgeable and friendly guide who showed us the important historical places in Philadelphia with interesting facts in just two hours time.

Angus is a great guide who knew his information better than most of us. But it's only a walking tour...so no stopping to see sites like the Liberty Bell. I assumed when we booked, that we'd actually SEE things, rather than just walk past. We walked nearly 2 hours, but we missed some Philly sites we won't get back to see again. Again, not his fault. Just be aware.
