Just my daughter (a big Rocky fan) and I on this tour. A great way to see the highlights of Philadelphia and all the Rocky stuff. Andy was fun, entertaining and very accommodating. Highly recommend this tour. More

We booked their Brandywine all-day tour and customized what we wanted to see. Jason was our tour guide for the day. He is very passionate about Philadelphia and guiding so it made for a very good day. We visited the Hagley Museum which was really fascinating, a winery, the battle fields, historic cemetery and toured the countryside. A good day... More

We were met at the train station by Jason. He was prompt & friendly & made us feel comfortable from the beginning. He asked us what we wanted to see & then gave us other options we hadn't thought of. We agreed on a few place & from there we really enjoyed the experience. Jason was very informative & always... More

We had a 5-hour wait between flights so I contacted Awfully Nice Tours - found on the internet. Trevor met us at the airport and spent the next 3 hours showing us around the city, telling us about its history and lots of interesting tales. It was great to have our own guide with such a fantastic knowledge. We had... More

I choose Awfully Nice Tours because of the flexibility and customization of the tours. We had a group of new employees that are moving to the Philly area and we wanted to show them different sections of the city to live in as well learn the history of the area. Jason did a great job as tour guide and was... More

Andy was able to accomodate our limited schedule and provided us with a great experience in Philadelphia. We spent a fun afternoon seeing everything we hoped to see and so many unexpected little gems. There is no way that we could have seen and learned so much on our own. It was like travelling around the city with an old... More

Traveled to Philadelphia for the weekend with my girlfriend (mid-20's couple) and met Jason for a Friday evening custom 6 hour History Tour mixed with a Beer Tour and it was a blast. The next day we met Greg for a Soul of the City tour and caught parts of the city that we didn't see with Jason (by Jason's... More

The owner Andy showed the wife and I around Philly. He was great with the perfect personality for us. We rode in a van which was very comfortable. Water was available. Andy was flexible as we tried to get a mixture of historic, mural, and food tours (within a 4 hour trip). Highly recommended. You may like walking more, but... More

Both tours were great but the 9th Street Market Tour was the highlight of the weekend. You get to meet the local merchants, try samples and really get to know the history and all the great attractions in the city that you would not know unless you were a local. The layout of the 9th Street market tour is great... More
