Great tour! SiLJOS Josh provided very interesting pieces of history that were not known by the members of the group.it is likely that very few visitors would have known these pieces of history.

Nina was our tour guide and did a great job explaining the significance of numerous sites in the historic district of Philadelphia. The walking tour took a full two hours and we felt like we learned a lot and were never tired of hearing about the highlights of the area. Nina's facts and stories kept us interested the whole time.... More
