Please 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.

We 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!

This 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!
