Tom was absolutely phenomenal! This was, without a doubt, the best highlight tour of Historic Philadelphia. His knowledge of the city’s history was incredible, but what really made the tour stand out was how engaging and entertaining he was. He brought history to life with fascinating stories, humor, and plenty of interesting facts that kept everyone interested from start to finish. What impressed us most was how well he connected with our group of middle schoolers and high schoolers. Getting teenagers to listen, participate, and actually enjoy a history tour isn’t easy, but Tom had them asking questions, laughing, and fully engaged the entire time. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and fun. We saw all the major historic sites, plus several hidden gems that other tours don’t include, which made the experience feel even more special. When 1/2 of our group had to miss the last part about Ben Franklin and he even offered to wait til their Independence Hall tour ended to finish the tour. If you’re visiting Philadelphia and want an entertaining, educational, and memorable introduction to the city’s history, don’t hesitate to book this tour with Tom. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

We had a relaxed yet informative tour. Thomas was very conscious about finding shade and spots to sit along the way. This was very much appreciated. It was evident that Thomas has a love for the history of Philadelphia.

I enjoyed how Eli’s tour focused more on the ‘behind the scenes’ stories of Philadelphia’s history. You really felt like you were getting an insider’s view. Very enjoyable.

Fantastic couple of hours. I have done 10-15 of these tours all over and Thomas was the most engaging guide- funny, knowledgeable, inclusive and an excellent storyteller. Highly recommended.

The Diamond in the rough! I have been on many walking tours around the world, but I would say my most pleasant tour guide I've ever had was Diamond. She is a breath of fresh air and as sweet as her Hershey's kisses. She was very well spoken and excited to share history, and information about city of brotherly love. Diamond's tour path was perfect and never had a dull moment. She always was smiling and had time to answer our questions, I even texted her days after and she helped my find the things I was looking for. She never mixed politics or opinions on the historical information she provided for us on the tour, this alone was my favorite thing about the tour. Most guides around the USA try to push their opinions on all their information. If you're looking for a fun and informative tour of the downtown this is the only tour you should take.
