We’ve been waiting to go on this tour for awhile. As soon as my daughter reached 102lbs we booked our tour and traveled 2hrs. Our tour guide Mike was great! He was informative, lively, fun, patient with the training and protective of the kids. The whole experience was great from our 1st step into the meeting place to the end of our tour, the whole staff was awesome, friendly and helpful. We would take the tour again.

D was a very skilled, experienced, patient and knowledgeable tourguide. He really made the experience worthwhile. We did the 1 hour tour and he made it worthwhile. This is all in spite of the fact that it was our first time. There were no problem with our equipment, and he took some really great pictures.

The most memorable part of the Founding Fathers Walking Tour was Josh, our host! Knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic and respectful. We had only a whisper of awareness of what Philadelphia life was like in the later part of the 18th century. Josh admirably filled in the missing pieces.
