Awesome walking tour - It was a great experience. Our guide Nina Hardenbergh was very knowledgeable and in addition to the sites mentioned on the itinerary she was able to sprinkle in additinal snippets during the walks.

Historical Philadelphia Walking Tour. - Adam’s knowledge of Philadelphia history was so helpful. We’re history buffs also, but learned a lot. With government shutdown going on, Adam had a lot of great ideas on places that were still open. This tour was the highlight of our stay here.

Great tour with lots of... - Great tour with lots of history! Even if we couldn’t get into all of the buildings due to government “challenges”, David provided us with plenty of learning along the way. He also gave us plenty of recommendations for restaurants and other sites to visit.

Great amount of History - The tour was very informative with a lot of history. Tour guide was great. Was a little disappointed we were not given a disclaimer before booking the tour that we were not going to be aloud in some of the buildings due to the government shut down.
