Great experience

Leigh was a great tour leader for our group. David our driver did an absolutely amazing job. I got to see places and experience the city in ways that would have been difficult as just an individual tourist. I especially enjoyed the Evening with Betsy Ross experience.

Incredible Adventure!

I recently visited Philly for four days with a group of students from my school for educational and bonding purposes. I was really afraid I wouldn't enjoy this particular field trip, however, it was truly an incredible experience! We were able to explore several museums, sites, restaurants and even shop around the streets! Although we had everything planned out for us (all very fun,) we were given a lot of independence and were allowed free periods where we could do whatever we wanted and venture in the heart of the city! The place itself was an amazing. The architecture and history is beautiful to see and hear about. If I could go again, I certainly would!

Though we encountered a few hiccups, our tour helped us to get in touch with some of the history of the country.

Awesome opportunity!

I loved how I had the freedom to choose where I ate and what I purchased, and how amazing and educational the museums, memorials and landmarks.

Great Trip!

We saw so many sights in such little time and had plenty of time to slow down and take in the surroundings. It was a great itinerary with tons of engaging activities for the kids. I look forward to taking a new group back in a few years!
