Our guide was very entertaining and provided a lot of interesting history at each location. It was exactly the right length - a perfect way to spend the morning.

When our driver dropped us off outside LP Steamers, we out-of-towners wondered whether we'd made a mistake. Nope, just authentic Baltiore crab shack. No reservations, so were told a 45-minute wait for our party of 3, and were directed to a little bar across the street. The tiny bar was manned by the owner, who helped us move some stuff out of the way so we could sit at what seemed to be the only table with some other guests. Had great drinks, and after just 20 minutes were called into Steamers. Only had medium crabs, but they were pretty darn large -- and darn wonderful. Added some fried oysters and had a heck of a great time. Definitely recommend to those wanting an authentic Batimore experience in the Fells Point neighborhood.

Joseph’s tour gave a great overview of Philly’s historical sites. He was knowledgeable and engaging. Definitely recommend this tour! Our kids enjoyed it too.

Great information from guide. The walk was a good pace, not strenuous. It was a bummer that a lot of things were closed due to the government shut down, but our guide made the best of it.

I learnt a lot about the founding years of the US. I never knew the historical background between the British King Charles II and the colonies.
