Shamus is a fantastic guide! He steered the group towards areas that tended to be quieter when possible to narrate the tour. He was very knowledgeable, kept it all very interesting, and was also funny! Great overall and highly recommend going on this tour.

Seamus shared great info and background and salient points for an abbreviated trip in a city full of so much history. Worth it!

Very knowledgeable guide, Joseph. Also helped guide us to a great lunch spot! And even tho we did the tour during govt shutdown he pointed out great sites that were open to visit that we wouldn't have even been aware of without tour. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide (Sheamus) was amazing! Very personable and high energy. Being a local, he had a lot of complementary content to add to the tour. It was truly an educational and entertaining experience. He’s an excellent ambassador for Philadelphia!

Had a wonderful time walking the streets of old city Philadelphia and visiting the sites of our ancestors and the history of our country. Our guide (Shamous) was very knowledgeable and had much information and stories on each of our stops. He also provided suggestions for eating places.
