Greg was an amazing tour host! We had a great time learning about the different sites on the tour. I was most excited for Elfreth's Alley, which did not disappoint. At every point, we learned the history, and also some lesser known facts, with some humor thrown in. Would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the history, with a short, fun walk between areas.

We had a fantastic tour guide (Greg) who made the whole tour interesting for us and our kids (ages 12 and 17). Plenty of places to stop and learn about the sights, and also plenty of time for questions. The whole thing was closer to 2 hours, so definitely try to leave extra time after your tour in case it runs late. Greg had great suggestions and knows his Philly and US history well to explain the bigger picture.

This tour is a great way to visit the area around Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell! I'd visited both before, but the added history was well worth it to re-walk some of the streets.
