This was a fantastic way to experience Philly as it can be overwhelming visiting a new city and not knowing how to navigate it all. Dale was very knowledgeable and gave us many tips regarding touring specific locations later on our own. I enjoyed the smaller travel group as opposed to a large crowded bus as well. Would definitely recommend!

Tailored tour with fun facts about the city.
If you only have a few hours this is the way to go to see Philadelphia. Using the cart allowed us to see a greater amount of sights around Philly. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and clearly loved Philly (and Benjamin Franklin). It is a small group (we had 4) stopped at Philadelphia Museum of Art and Rocky statue and Liberty Bell. Drove by the rest with good info. If I had only one slight critique it would be tough to get picture from the left seats but overall great tour. You also get great tips on where to eat and come back to visit for the places in Philly.
Patricia was amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable, lots of fun. we learned so much! Thank you! You can go down the tiny streets like no other, unlike with big sightseeing busses. Highly recommend.
Brittney has a wonderful personality and have a wonderful and fun tour. Informative, funny, and interesting.

This tour was such a pleasure and a perfect way to learn about Philadelphia! Our guide, Adam, was fun, informative and helpful. I highly recommend
Great tour with a great guide ‘D’. Would highly recommend in the winter as the car has doors and proper windows. The only thing I was disappointed about was the fact that you don’t stop to see the liberty bell. A drive by of the building wasn’t what I expected
Our guide, Mark, gave us a great overview of Philadelphia in a vehicle that gave us unique views. He was fun and knowledgeable. He shared the history of the city’s founding, growth and sense of community. And, of course, about the mark that Ben Franklin had on the city and country. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent and tour guide was very knowledgeable. Loved this tour wish it was longer and could get out and see more.
Great way to tour all the sights and get a personal guide to show you around town. She was very knowledgeable and accommodating to my disabled brother who thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It was also fun to ride in an electric cart.
Our guide, Deshon, was very nice, enthusiastic and very informative. My husband and I were the only ones in our electric car which was so fun. We loved seeing a lot of Philadelphia in an hour and a half. I recommend this tour!

Taking the small car was fantastic. Our tour guide Jason was extremely knowledgeable of Philadelphia history
Guide was very knowledgeable and got us to some tremendous sites in Philly. They were very available for all questions and helped us with suggestions for activities after the tour.
With the use of the electric vehicle, the tour can go to areas that a tour bus or some other form of transportation could not go. The guide Barry was very informative and tailored the tour to our interests.
We had a fantastic tour of Philly with Tate. He was fun, knowledgeable, and showed us all the sights we were excited to see and some awesome ones we didn’t know about. Definitely recommend this tour!
A great way of zipping through through the city and learning interesting facts along the way. Great for all ages. Plenty of photo opportunities, both from inside the car and during stops. One thing to note - the car isn't air conditioned, so this was the only problem with our experience. The guide was very sweet, giving us ice water and parking in the shade. Additionally, we met by Reading Terminal Market, which was very convenient and a great place for lunch before the tour. All around great experience!
Mark was our tour guide and he was so AMAZING!! I would definitely do another tour with him. Got to see so many sights and hear all kinds of facts. 10 out of 10
Get way to get the lay off the land before setting out on foot Great guide
Fun & historically informative. Better way to see the city at one sitting rather than hop on hop off & walk.
Barry was great and knowledgeable. Highly recommend. The tour was two hours and a great snapshot of Philly. We enjoyed the drop off spots for pics and he gave recommendations for food after.
The trip packed lots into a short time period and it was well worth it. Deshon (aka “D”) was extremely entertaining and his knowledge of the areas we traveled to was amazing. Will definitely recommend this tour to others
Simply no other way to experience the highlights of Philadelphia with expert narration throughout by our tour guide Tate
Mark was very knowledgeable about many different aspects of Philly. Learned a lot.
My daughter & I did a Mother & Daughter trip , we couldn’t do alit of walking so then was an excellent way to see so much of the city
Excellent tour interesting and extremely knowledgable personable guide.
Despite the rainy weather, this tour was fantastic! Our tour guide, PJ, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions that we had. Would definitely recommend taking this tour if you are in Philadelphia!
Our guide Mark was one of the best guides we've ever had. He was very knowledgeable and as a native Philadelphian, gave us great information about local neighborhoods. It was a great excursion definitely worth the money. Thanks again Mark!
Can’t say enough about this tour and our guide Tate. He was very kind, knowledgeable, and absolutely skilled in finding great places to stop and get out for a closer look. I was afraid we would be delayed flying in so he also very kindly moved our start time back an hour to accommodate us. Definitely something for any new arrival to Philly to do! Thanks Tate!
This was by far the best tour of the weekend, the guide took his time explaining history of Philly, he took us by all of the spots that we probably wouldn’t have seen on our own! Great tour!
This was a wonderful quick tour of the city, highlighting popular and historical sites. It was a wonderful way to become more familiar with Philadelphia ❤️. Highly recommend!
Don't miss it. I did this tour on my first day in Philadelphia. It gave me a good view of the various parts of the city. The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. It helped me to decide where I wanted to go back to and explore more. Definitely 10 out of 10!!
So glad we did this tour! We met our guide, Marc, outside the Reading Terminal Market. The electric cart is a great way to get around Philadelphia. There were four of us and it was easy to hear Marc's commentary. He is a local Philly boy and had lots of back stories, as well as all the history of the area. His commentary was fun and very engaging. We saw all the expected major sites but also some others like the Italian Quarter, which was fascinating. Learnt some fun facts about the street art and really felt we experience Philadelphia through this tour!
This tour was full of knowledge of the city of especially art. It was not what I expected we didn’t see or hear much American history. It felt like a Philly a commercial for Philly tourism
Very knowledgeable. Definitely a historian.
Great tour exploring all the highlights of the city! Tom was a great tour guide-very knowledgeable! I wish we could have made a few more stops to get out for pictures!
Outstanding overall. Brittany was great. Thorough tour of many different neighborhoods of Philadelphia.
