Casey Kuftic was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He kept us entertained and was thoughtful about the heat and humidity of July, trying to keep us in the shade as much as possible. We saw places we would not otherwise have seen and heard commentary we would not otherwise have known. The hour and a half went by before we knew it. Highly recommended!
Extremely informative with the right pace. Our guide was very knowledgeable, personable and was able to answer all of our questions
John, our tour guide, gave a fantastic tour of some of Old City’s historic highlights. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Philly and interested in history.
Our group of 6 - ages 11 to 74 - enjoyed John’s manner of storytelling through easily understandable history with detailed facts. We were shown the “nooks and crannies” of Old City, with beautifully preserved alleyways and courtyards with gardens and sculptures that you could never see driving down the bustling streets. We all highly recommend this particular tour.
Awesome tour with Casey as our guide

John was personable , informative, and quite knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make sure group members were comfortable, able to cool down (it was 85+ today), and answered all questions. John has a background in various tours in town (food tours, etc), and was super helpful with recommendations!
Outstanding tour! John was very knowledgeable of his history. Highly recommend if in town and have a few hours to see the sites.
