Philadelphia walking tours

Thomas was incredibly knowledgable and engaging! I especially appreciated that he told some of the experiences and contributions of women, enslaved persons, and immigrants in the nation's history that are often overlooked or ignored. He was also overly considerate in that he brought hot cider and cocoa to warm up with about halfway through the tour. I can't say enough wonderful things about this tour with this guide!

Diamond was a great tour guide! She was in time and gave clear expectations for the time we would spend on the walking tour. Had great insight, but also gave time in between stops for us to be able to take in the views and enjoy the walk. She was a very calming presence in a very busy city. I’d recommend her tour for anyone visiting!

Thomas was incredibly knowledgeable and made the tour both engaging and entertaining. I learned so much about the history of Philadelphia, and the fun facts he shared at each stop made the experience even more memorable. He also went the extra mile by bringing us hot tea and hot chocolate, which was very thoughtful of him. I highly recommend this tour!

I had the pleasure of stumbling upon the Philadelphia Gems tour with Diamond this weekend and it was absolutely amazing! I felt like this tour was the perfect blend of history, culture, and local spots you’d maybe miss on your own. Every stop felt intentional, and you can tell how much thought and passion went into curating the experience. Diamond was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so engaging and fun—she made the city come alive. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this tour gives you a whole new appreciation for Philadelphia. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something unique to do.

As a Philly native, I wanted to take on a new view of the city and Diamond helped me do just that. I loved how she pointed out the details of architecture and how he kept me entertained. I learned so much and she recommended great restaurants and other tours to take. I will definitely be recommending her!

Throughly enjoyed! The guru was very charismatic and very knowledgeable in Center city history. It was easy to follow along, ask questions and take pictures as desired. I can say that I truly learned a lot and that it was nice to walk the city and learn of places to eat and and to visit after the tour in the area. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

Thomas made the your very entertaining, brought up exciting facts that even our kids enjoyed. The 2 hours flew by.

Such a great experience! Diamond is an exceptional tour guide who shares her enthusiasm for the city with deep knowledge and genuine passion. Her Spanish is amazing as well. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the city with her! Muchas gracias, Diamond! :)

Thomas was an amazing guide, truly passionate about American history!

Daimond was a top notch tour guide and her excitement about the city’s great history was sustained throughout the tour! In the past I’ve had guides that over explain or don’t seem excited about the tour but Daimond’s ability to teach AND answer questions was amazing. I’d recommend her to any family or small group looking to learn from a true local! Thank you so much!

It was an amazing tour with Diamond. She gave us a lot of information about Philadelphia history and we had a very good experience. As we are from Spain she switched fluently from English to Spanish and facilitated us to follow the explanation. Thank you for your time. Great tour!!

The tour had so many hidden gems that I walked past numerous times and never took note of before. Diamond was so knowledgeable and energetic.

Thomas es el mejor guía que hemos tenido. Información precisa, dinamismo, humor y generosidad para asesorar en paseos por Filadelfia. Su tour hace la diferencia !

Una maravilla de tour y de guía, tanto profesional como personalmente. Sin duda lo recomendaría a cualquier persona que viaje a Filadelfia, os va a sorprender y vais a iros encantados como nos fuimos nosotras!!

Tom is informative & entertaining. This is definitely a must do if you’re in Philly. We enjoyed getting a quick snapshot of Philly and American history in 2 hours. In this tour you will see the “must-see” sites and get in depth knowledge on each one. Tom is super friendly and makes the tour that much more fun.

Tom was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! On top of taking us to the main historic sites in old Philadelphia, he was so entertaining and taught me and my daughters so many interesting facts that you wouldn’t find in the guide books or on the many historic plaques around the city. He also brought hot chocolate which we enjoyed on a very chilly spring afternoon. If you’re interested in the history of the city and love an engaging and educational walk, look no further than Tom!

Thomas was a great host, he has lots of knowledge and really keeps the group engaged throughout the tour. Big recommendation!

Thomas was an amazing guide. Took us to all the notable sites. He is a history teacher so he had a wealth of information and was able to answer any and all questions and was also funny and entertaining with good personality and conversation. Definitely will recommend. A nice surprise was providing hot chocolate and starbursts. 10/10

Very informative, efficient and entertaining.

Tom was the greatest tour guide and an absolute angel. So knowledgeable, kind and energetic. The best!

Thomas and this tour are both amazing! We learned so much about the history of Philadelphia and in a very entertaining way. Thomas is a great storyteller and made sure that all of our questions were answered. We came during January when it was so cold, and he even brought hot chocolate for everyone to warm up with! Truly an amazing experience and everyone should book this tour.
