I visited Philly with my 85-year-old mother, who is still mobile, but not up for a long walking tour. This was an excellent way for us to get an overview of the key sites of Philadelphia without wearing out my mom. Lois, our tour guide, was just excellent. Very friendly and accommodating and mindful of safety. She made sure my mom was comfortable and able to hear what she had to say. I always feel like a visit to a town is more interesting when you get to meet a "local" and hear about day-to-day life there. Lois is a lifelong resident and has personal stories and "inside insights" about some of the neighborhoods and historic sites. For example, when we toured Elfreth's Alley (a small street of historic homes that are private residences) she pointed out the homes of a few residents she knows personally, and another home that she had had a chance to see inside. The homes aren't open to the public, so she was able to give us a sense of what they were like inside, and what it's like for current residents to live in and maintain these beautiful places.
We had a great tour with Lois! She was very knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. We would definitely recommend it. We learned so many things that we never knew before. She even recommended books and other ways for us to learn more about what she told us. All of us loved the tour.
We had a wonderful historic tour of Philly with Lois. We were in town to visit colleges with our daughters and she accommodated our request to visit the campus area around Penn and even dropped us at our lunch spot near campus at the end of our tour. Lois was extremely knowledgeable and paced the tour perfectly.
This was a nice three hour tour. We learned a lot of the back history of William Penn and the founding of Philadelphia. Having a driver and a guide made navigating much easier in a private car. The best part was the last hour where we were driven around the city to see neighborhoods and gentrification. We would have missed a lot of architecture on our own. Lois was vivacious, animated and a good ambassador for the city.
Lois was a great guide. We walked around the city and she pointed out things I hadn't heard before. We took part of our tour by car and again went to places in and around the city I hadn't seen before. Lois was friendly and knowledgeable. She was very willing to specialize the tour to what I wanted to see. She also had good suggestions for places to see. I would highly recommend the tour. This tour would be good for couples and families since it is so adorable.
This was our 1st trip to Philly and we are so happy that we booked with Lois! From the get go you can feel her passion for sharing her knowledge about her city! She was very easy going and funny too! She also gave us recommendations prior to tour which is a huge plus! Highly recommend!
We had a wonderful tour of historic Philly with Lois this weekend! She is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging - I was impressed with how well she connected with the large range of interests / ages in our family. It was the perfect way to get to know the historic, industrial and modern history of Philadelphia and visit its beautiful sights along the way. Would highly recommend!
I booked Lois to give my parents a tour around the city while I was in class. According to my mom, "Lois was an informed, engaging and exhilarating tour guide! She accommodated our customized request for an authentic Philly cheesecake experience and tour of the Rocky stairs. She rattled off dates and historical facts like a history teacher. I think I learned more interesting facts on our three hour tour than I did in my many years of history classes!" Lois was communicative (reached out to me ahead of time to coordinate pick up/drop off), flexible, and warm. I'm very glad I booked her and encourage you to do so too!
We absolutely loved our tour with Lois! She was fun, very informative, and customized our tour to fit us! Lois took the time to get to know us and made our trip to Philly unforgettable! I am not a history buff and Lois really drew me into the stories and history of Philadelphia. Lots of great information and beautiful sites. We truly enjoyed our lunch with Lois midway through our tour and getting to know her. Our Philly Cheesesteak at Campos was AMAZING! Lois also took the time to recommend restaurants and other areas of interest for the remainder of our trip. I highly recommend Lois to anyone coming to the Philly area!
