Unforgettable Philly tour with Rick! - 5 Stars – An Unforgettable Philly Tour with Rick!
We had an absolutely fantastic time exploring Philadelphia with Rick as our tour guide! From start to finish, he made the entire experience engaging, informative, and fun. Rick’s knowledge of the city’s history and culture is truly impressive—he brought each landmark to life with great stories, little-known facts, and a clear passion for Philly.
He was also incredibly friendly and easygoing, making everyone in our group feel comfortable and welcome. Rick tailored the tour to our interests, made great food and photo stop recommendations, and drove us smoothly through the city so we could relax and enjoy the sights.
Whether it was iconic spots like the Liberty Bell or unique local gems we’d never have discovered on our own, Rick made sure we saw the best of what Philadelphia has to offer. Highly recommend booking with him—he’s a true professional and a fantastic ambassador for the city!

Fabulous Tour!!!! - Highly recommend this tour! Marty was incredibly knowledgeable about Philadelphia history! We learned so much! I gave him a list of the things we were hoping to see and do. He got it all done plus more! We had my elderly parents with us who not always wanted to walk. He got us so close to everything to minimize walking in the heat. I can’t say enough about this tour! Thank you! Well worth the money!

Great Experience - Barry was great! Even though we’re from the area, it’s been a while and never took a tour with our kids. We all learned so much! It was just the right mix of information and history. Our 6, 8, and 10 year old had a great time!

Fascinating tour! - Barry is so knowledgeable and passionate about Philly! It was my first time to visit and I had no idea that there was such a variety of historical areas and buildings. So many things to see and do. Going in this tour really helped me to pick out my favorite places to go visit.

A great day in Philly with Marty. - I was in Philly with my 17 year-old son. Never been before and it was an impromptu trip with very little planning. Marty texted me the night before to ascertain what we wanted to do. When we had very few ideas (did a morning tour also), Marty took it upon himself to plan a great day. It was a relaxed atmosphere and Marty was very pleasant and informative. Marty knows Philly. Ask for him - he’s great. Could not have asked for a better day.

Exceptional tour by a guide that treated us like good old friends visiting from California - Adam was a very knowledgeable and fun tour guide that treated us like good old friends visiting Philly for the very first time coming from California. We have withstood Fairbanks, Alaska and Wyoming winter weather, but we were surprised of the cold chilly (because of the sudden gusts of wind) weather in Philly. Because of this, he went the extra mile to stand in line for us at the Independence Hall while we went to an exhibit room to warm ourselves up until our group was called to enter the hall. He took great pictures of us, while telling us stories about the historical landmarks and buildings that we visited. His tour made it definitely worth the visit of Philly for me, my wife, and our 3 kids. Would highly recommend this tour with Adam as your guide.

Great Times in Philadelphia!! - We Venture private six hour tour driving and walking was absolutely fantastic. We had Barry who is a wealth of knowledge and so enjoyable to spend the day with. I cannot recommend this tour enough. What a way to learn about Philadelphia. They can also offer an electric golf cart and moped tour.
We also spent an afternoon at the Philadelphia art museum and was definitely a museum not to be missed. We took advantage of the free guided tour and they were well worth it.
Philly is a great city to visit and we came home just loving it
