Actually, the tour was canceled with little notice. Spent an extra night in a hotel for what turned out to be no reason. Most unhappy.

Avoid this company. Our tour was cancelled about 30 minutes prior to the start. No tour guide was available. This is unacceptable for a tour company.

We had a great time with Dave. He customized our tour to align with our interests. We learned a lot about the city and cultural neighborhoods. The tour ended at a favorite place of mine, the Reading Terminal Market. It was my wife’s first trip there and she loved it.

Our tour was cancelled at the last minute because there were not any tour guides available. Very disappointed. Still waiting for a refund.

Getting such a good overview of Philadelphia. Travelling by minibus meant you covered a lot of ground and the tow trucks left us alone. Jared was a great tour guide.
