Great tour for people who love movies - Theresa you made this trip amazing. It was so nice getting a behind the scenes peek at the movies and tv shows that were filmed here. I didn’t know that filming in Philadelphia was so popular. Thank you so much. The knowledge you shared vas-y very intriguing and made us want to go back and rematch some movies.

Our guide David was knowledgeable and friendly and made the experience fun and interactive. - One in our group is from Philadelphia and one from out of town and we both enjoyed it and learned lots about Philadelphia and the history of film and television.

An Alternative Tourist Walk - Had a fabulous walk with David, it was a really good pace covering some hidden gem locations but literally ending on a high with the Rocky scene (you know the one). A good alternative stroll tour, highly recommended.

Highly recommended movie tour - David Sigmund is a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the movies filmed in Philly and his enthusiasm passed the time very quickly.
I thought the length of the tour was just right in 2 hours. Theres a lot of movies and sights to get through.
I would highly recommend this tour.

NOT WHAT WAS EXPECTED - We showed up at the site where we were suppose to meet, we were looking for a white flag as indicated. There was no white flag, we walked up to a lady with a book and identified ourselves. Unfortunately, this tour has a lot of walking between stopping to get information on a specific place where a movie was filmed, much more than we thought we would have to walk in between sites. The last stop was at the Rocky statue . It took a long time to get to that spot, by that time, you re already tired from all the walking i have to add that we never sat down anywhere and stood thru all of the explanations. By the time you get to the Rocky statue you re done.....
A the end, you are being left there and you have to figure out a way to get back to where you came from......fortunately, we were able to get a cab quite easily...not always the case....
