"it was awesome" says the 9 year old!!!! We loved Nina... Sooooo nice! We were two families who joined up for a fun morning of walking Philly Old City. It was an awesome combo of little known facts, history and best kept local secrets! Ask for Nina!!!!!! She was lovely and so interesting!!!!! More

The Philly On Tap Tour is tops. We live in the suburbs and occasionally like to venture into the city. I will say the we were very pleasantly surprised. I felt like I was meeting an old friend, that I have not seen in a long time. The guide was very informative and super friendly. More

We planned the Philly On Tap Tour for an alumni event. It was GREAT! The tour guide was captivating and knowledgeably. The beers were good and like others mentioned of ample size. It was a great deal - $30 for 3 pints and apps! I’d recommended the tour and the company. Thanks for a great event! More

I would recommend the Italian Market tour to anyone - visitors, transplants, Philly natives, anyone. I have lived in Philly for almost 10 years, and have been to the market many times, but had a friend in from out-of-town this weekend so we took the tour. Our tour guide Chuck was great, and I had a totally new experience in... More

I have lived in New Jersey for awhile, but I had never crossed over to visit Philadelphia. My favorite part of a new place is experiencing it's food culture. I chose to do the 9th Street Italian Market tour so I could finish with a famous Philly Cheese Steak; and it sounded like there would be a few tid bits... More

My husband and I love history and were visiting Philadelphia for only one day, so I wanted a tour that provides a great depth of history...and Philadelphia Urban Adventures' Historic District-Society Hill Tour did not disappoint! Though it was raining on our tour, it did not deter us one bit. Our guide Josh was excellent, highly experienced, and very knowledgeable.... More

I went on the "Soul of Center City" tour with Jason. He was totally awesome. Patient, knowledgeable, fun, nice tone of voice, the whole deal. I like that tour because it wasa tour of an area of Philly that I wouldn't have gone to otherwise, and I like knowing about. In addition, he opened up the tour for us that... More

As a Pittsburgh couple FINALLY making it to the other big city in PA for the very first time, we wanted to see as much of the South Philly area as could be squeezed into six hours. We decided to leave the Liberty Bell and museums for another trip. I came across a link for Philadelphia Urban Adventures and decided... More
