Heat, history and great ice cream - Keshler was engaging and enthusiastic about his city. Enjoyed everything except the heat but I did know what I was getting into. Also appreciated his flexibility when my flight was delayed and travel to Philadelphia got complicated. Also loved the ice cream😊

A little rain didn’t stop us! - I tried uploading pictures, but it was not working. Keshler did a fabulous job taking us around. He kept us entertained even though we were getting drenched. We saw so much and he was knowledgeable. I’m so glad we went on this tour. Saw Ben Franklin’s grave, Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell through a window since the line was long, Betsy Ross’s house, Ben Franklin’s house, murals, reading terminal market, Elfreth’s alley. Full of historical sites and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Keshler from your friends in Kansas

The tour guide customized... - The tour guide customized our trip to meet the needs of our high school AP US History son. She was very through and we learned things not printed in history books. Thank you! Highly recommended!
