Nick customized a walking tour for us and our very mobile 80-yr old parents. He hit all the high spots of colonial era Philadelphia breaking it up with chances to rest. His knowledge of the area and its secret hidden gems was tremendous. And his dry wit kept us guessing and entertained. We booked a 6-hr tour which allowed us to take a break for a nice long lunch mid way at City Tavern which was greatly appreciated as the weather was not cooperating. He is one of few area tour guides you can book directly. So check him out!…

I was hosting a meeting for 25 out-of- town business associates. I wanted them to get the best historical experience possible. I was referred to Nick and hired him for the tour. He did an amazing job. He took care of all of the necessary tickets and provided a perfect schedule of events. he was extremely knowledgeable and all of my guests had a great time. He even arranged for us to have lunch at Campos a local cheesesteak establishment. I would highly recommend Nick.…

Mr Cvetkovic is a gem. I was looking for a tour of Philadelphia that could be done in half a day. He customized the tour to hit items that were of historical interest as well as the hidden gems. We did not want to do much walking, so he arranged to have a car pick us up so he could point out important landmarks for us. Our idea was to see as much as we could within 4 hours...history, pop culture, murals, everything. No wonder this man is the President of the Tour Guide association!! He spoiled us!!!…

We utilized Mr. Cvetkovic's services with the desire to learn as much about Philadelphia history a half-day excursion could offer. He was very punctual in meeting at our hotel and we immediately began on our knowledge based journey. Make no mistake, there are many other tour opportunities available but for the nominal price and convenience of hiring your own guide, this decision is simple. Make Nick Cvetkovic Tours part of your Philadelphia experience and maximize your knowledge after listening to his. There is so much to learn about Philadelphia, a hop-on, hop-off bus just will not do the city, or your learning, any justice whatsoever. Thank you, Mr. Cvetkovic. We absolutely loved having you as our Professional Tour Guide.…
