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

My husband, daughter and I had a great tour of Philadelphia with Jason. We were in the area for a workshop and only had about 3 hours to dedicate to sightseeing. We got a great overview of the sights, the history and architecture in that time. As it was a cold and windy day it was especially nice to be... More

Taking a tour with Andy is like having your own PBS host and guide. He was very knowledgeable about the Revolutionary War’s key events and personalities. Andy painted a vivid picture of the challenges faced by George Washington and his troops when they camped at Valley Forge. We highly recommend Andy as your guide. More

He drives u in his mini van right up to each site which is convenient and was especially nice the day we went on tour due to rain. If you have a small group wanting to tour the sites and learn the history of Philly. Tis... More

Andy is a terrific guide. Very patient, nice and knowledgeable. We took the half day tour and were able to see the most important sites. We even had the best Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and Italian Cheese. We visited some of the Rocky sites as a bonus! More

Thank you for your comments, JLB, and for coming on a tour of Philly! We always like to find some good snacks while on tour and both the 9th Street Italian Market and Reading Terminal Market are great stops. More

My friends and I had a wonderful tour last Friday morning with Jason of Awfully Nice Tours. Jason is incredibly knowledgable about the city of Philadelphia -- everything from history to architectural style. He was able to point out so many things we would not have discovered on our own, yet he was flexible about taking us to anything we... More

I went on this tour with my husband and two friends and it turned out to be the perfect way to spend our Sunday morning. Our tour guide was Chuck and he could not have been nicer and more knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history of Philadelphia, the artwork in the neighborhood surrounding the market and of course... More
