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.

This is NOT about the walking tour but a warning about Old City street parking. While readily available, the no parking areas are very misleading, there is no painted curb to provide additional warning, and YOU WILL BE TOWED by a PPA tow truck to an impound lot if you happen to park in a signed area. Bottom line, don’t park anywhere near a “NO STOPPING” sign, even if it’s Sunday and there is a parking arrow indicated for Monday -Saturday pay zone.
