A new vision of Philly - D was very personable and very knowledgeable with the tour throughout the city. My wife and I enjoyed our time during the tour. I have worked in Philly for the last 40 years, but I never spent any time as a visitor, so it was refreshing to find new and intresting subject matter and information about the city.

An hour well spent - How about a tour guide who is a native Philadelphian and has taught college history courses? That's what you get with James Robinson. (And he drives well and safely.) The tour was great and helped us figure out what we wanted to go back to. Highly recommended.

Great Overview of Philly - Fun overview of the city, its history, culture, and landmarks. Our guide “D” was friendly and engaging. We did not stop and get out to take pictures, but were able to snap photos from the open windows of the vehicle. We did stop and run up the stairs to the Rocky statue! Overall, a fun introduction to the city!!!!!!

Night owls keep reading! - Really interesting twist on a typical city tour Vehicle unique. Small format. Very personalized despite it still being a “group”. Nighttime gave us a new perspective on the sites. Enjoyed!!

Absolutely Fantastic Night Tour, A Must-Do in Philly! - If you’re visiting Philadelphia and want a truly unique and memorable experience, I cannot recommend the electric car nighttime tour with “D” enough! From the moment we met “D,” it was clear we were in great hands. Warm, welcoming, and brimming with local knowledge, “D” brought Philly’s rich history and culture to life in a way that was engaging, informative, and fun. You could tell instantly that they love this city. The electric car itself was super comfortable and perfect for zipping through the city streets after dark. It felt like a VIP experience, intimate and personalized, nothing like those big, crowded tour buses. The quiet ride also made it easy to hear all the fascinating stories and historical insights D shared along the way. The nighttime perspective is something really special, seeing the monuments, cobblestone alleys, and skyline all lit up gave the city a magical glow. We passed by iconic landmarks and hidden gems, many of which we would have never discovered on our own. “D” is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Knowledgeable, passionate, and just cool.

A great way to see the city. - Went on this activity tour on April 12 as one of the last tours I would do for my trip, visiting the USA and Philadelphia for the first time. And it was a uniquely positive experience. The guide that night was nothing but informative, accommodating, and knowledgeable with the questions that I and the other group of out of towners in our car had when seeing a new side to Philadelphia as a whole. I felt the electric car provided a much better way to see and take videos and pictures of the illuminated city, then the more conventional automobile would, which welcomed, as someone who had a lot of selfie and standard pics and vids to take and show to people back home. We were given a good amount of time to take a night time twist of the classic thing to do, run up the stairs to imitate Rocky Balboa and take selfies with statues and view of the broader city opposite the statues, before continuing the activity. I originally intended this as the first activity on the first night to do when I arrived, but when my flight was delayed, making that impossible, the tour company was very gracious and accommodating in getting back to me, surprisingly quickly and generously IMO, rescheduling me with understanding and little to no fuss. Thanks to both my guide/driver that night and the tour operator earlier in the week for such accommodations and a good tour. Would recommend.
