5.00Had a wonderful tour of historic sites in Philly with our enthusiastic guide, Jen. She was very knowledgeable, we learned a lot and she kept our interest for the entire tour. She is a proud Philadelphian and made us appreciate all the history that is here. Definitely highly recommend this to any visitor to Philly.

1.00Please let me clarify that our guide was lovely - it was the tour itself that was poor. We started at the Betsy Ross house as the meeting point. We looked at the outside, were told it wasn't included and so we walked to Christ Church. When we arrived we were told they weren't open yet but we could come back later if we wanted. Same thing with the Benjamin Franklin cemetary. We eventually made our way to Independence Hall to find out that we needed a reservation through the National Parks office. It was 12:30pm and all time slots were sold out for the day. I essentially paid $90 a piece to go into the Carpenter's Building which is FREE. I use viator for every country/city that I visit. The lack of route planning and pre-communication of requirements was unacceptable.

5.00We had a really great tour with Jenn. She is so knowledgeable - like a walking encyclopedia of information. We thought the tour was the perfect length and it covered a lot of sites in one tour. Thanks to Jenn for all the recommendations and help planning the rest of our time in Philly!

5.00This is a great tour if you're short on time as you get to see so much in just a couple of hours. Joseph was a fantastic tour guide! He had the perfect blend of humor and historic information. Highly recommended!

5.00Jenn led us on an awesome walking tour of Philly which included inside a couple historic sites. Very informative! Nowadays whenever we go on vacation, we always look for Tours By Foot.
Thank you for your knowledge and one-on-one time.

5.00With this tour, I saw so many historically significant things that my tour guide was able to educate me about that I could not have learned just walking the sites alone. I was the only one scheduled for this tour, so I received a lot of one-on-one commentary and extra time to take photos, which I appreciated. We went over our tour time, but my guide, Jen, also the company's owner, didn't care and urged me to explore. I ended up leaving the tour feeling like a friend and knowing so much more about the history of Philly and our country as a whole. Thank you for caring and taking the time to explore with me.
Rich, fun tour all along.

December 2024 Walking Tour Philly

5.00I really enjoyed my walking tour yesterday with Tours by Foot. Even though it was the coldest day of the year so far, walking around and learning about Philly proved to be one of the highlights of my day. I learned a lot in the 2 hour tour. It started at 10:30 am at Betsey Ross' house and ended at the Liberty Bell around 12:30 pm. The group was small and intimate, which was nice and allowed for our guide to answer all our questions and have conversations with each of us as we walked. I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and, as this was my first time in Philly, I would definitely be back and do the tour again, when it's warmer.
