Entertaining and engaging lesson in history! Our tour guide, Josh, made the walk fun and ensured everyone in the group participated. I learned a lot the history books left out.

Tour was great! Josh knows his stuff and is very entertaining! Much better than wandering around on your own. Great to learn the stuff most everyone knows but also lots of little known facts.

It was a wonderful tour with Joshua as our guide. It was both informative and entertaining, and had a great mix of walking and seeing a great number of sites while also having a chance to sit and listen to some great stories and history. I was with my 10-year-old son and we both had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend it

One of the most engaging tours I have ever experienced. The entire family learned and laughed for two hours. Excellent!

Josh was a terrific guide on our historical tour of Philadelphia. We had a of fun and learned new stuff about the founding fathers. Never realized how influential and critical Robert Morris was to the Revolutionary War and formation of the early government. Thank you Josh for an entertaining and engaging tour.

Great tour of the historical areas of Philly! Knowledgeable guide with lots of great stories. Did a good job getting us from place to place and speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.

recently took the 2-hour History of Philadelphia Walking Tour, and it was absolutely fantastic! Our guide, Wendy, was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city’s past. From Independence Hall to Elfreth’s Alley, every stop came with fascinating stories that brought the founding of our nation to life. What I especially appreciated was how she balanced well-known historical facts with lesser-known anecdotes that made the experience feel personal and unique. The pace was perfect—enough time to take in the sights, snap photos, and ask questions without ever feeling rushed. If you’re visiting Philadelphia (or even if you’re a local wanting to see your city in a new light), I highly recommend this tour. It’s informative, fun, and a great way to spend a couple of hours exploring the birthplace of American democracy. Thanks again, Wendy, for an unforgettable tour!

Josh led us on our excursion today. Love his attitude, passion, and insightfulness to all things Philadelphia history. Nice our group tied for naming 23 of the Founding Fathers. Incredible 2 hours and thank you Josh. Keep up with the great work.
