Amazing tour guide Theresa

Our tour guide was Theresa and it ended up being a private tour as it was just the two of us! Wow I never knew Philadelphia filmed so many movies here. Theresa was amazing with her information we absolutely loved it

Excellent tour

This was a great tour with a knowledgeable tour guide, David. I was a lone traveller staying on the other side of the city and David offered for me to travel back on the bus with him. I opted for the walk. This tour is not for people who can't walk a good distance. There are so r stops on the way but it is gruelling, particularly in summer.
