We had a great time with Howard touring the Italian Market. He had great insights on the art in the area, as well as the history of the various vendors. Would recommend this as a must-do tour while in Phillie. Masks were required only when entering a business.

Review of: Founding Fathers Tour of Philadelphia
What a great way to walk around historical old Philadelphia! Our tour guide Rick really helped us understand the historical and modern significance of everything we saw. (So much more than we could have known on our own). The group was small enough to allow a more interactive experience. Rick answered all questions and comments with insight. We were invited to finish the tour with a drink at a nearby tavern which led to more great conversation. We highly recommend for anyone wanting to dig deeper into the wonderful history of Philadelphia!…

Review of: Founding Fathers Tour of Philadelphia
Excellent tour with Nina, a Philadelphia native who love loves her city! The tour requires two hours of walking but on level ground at an easy pace. The group was small so we could hear Nina well and easily ask questions. We highly recommend the tour as an overview of the historic area to help identify must sees for day two. Philadelphia is a clean and prosperous city in the tour areas showing beautifully maintained grounds and buildings. Nina provided an excellent snapshot of the most significant and historic parts of Philadelphia.…

Our tour guide (Rick) was terrific! He was very knowledgeable about Philadelphia history and the founding fathers. Our group asked a lot of questions and Rick answered all of them. I learned so much more about all the challenges involved in founding a democratic republic.
