Funny and informative

Funny guy, engaging and personal not just reading from a script. Well organised, adaptable and actually informative. Would definitely recommend

Our Bachelor Party
Jake_G, October 2026
Nick was very accommodating for our group and even opened up an opportunity to roast the groom in our bachelor party. None in my party did, granted, but the consideration meant a lot! The drinking games were great too! And Sheila’s game can’t be beat!! She was a great sport, too. Thank you all so much!
Response from the operator · Founding F
That sounds like an absolute legend of a bachelor party run! Nick always knows how to read the room and tailor the vibe, and setting up an open-mic roast for the groom is classic. Even if your group spared him, just having that green light makes for a great moment. Major shoutout to Sheila for being such an awesome sport, too—her game always brings out the best friendly chaos in a group. Drinking games, good laughs, and great company on the streets of Philly make for a pretty unbeatable send-off before the big day. Thanks for bringing the crew out with us and sharing the love! We'll make sure both Nick and Sheila see this shoutout!

Don't recommend it
Traveler67966895599, October 2026
Our tour itself was fantastic—Nick was our captain, and he did a great job. However, the post-tour customer service from the owner, Carl, was incredibly frustrating. I contacted the company multiple times requesting the receipts for my payments and received no response. I only finally received them after I threatened to leave a negative review. When Carl finally sent the receipt, he claimed he had already sent it before, ignoring the fact that he had been sending it to the wrong email address—a mistake I had already pointed out to him multiple times. Instead of apologizing for the typo and the delay, he continues to argue and go back and forth with me about it. Come for the tour guides like Nick, but be prepared for a headache if you need any billing or receipt help from management.
Response from the operator · Founding F
Hi Rashmi, I am sorry for the issues you had, but I only copy and paste the email that was sent to me. Unfortunately you mistakenly sent me the wrong email. We are glad you enjoyed yourself.

Awesome guide!
E5580BOlisas, October 2026
Nick was an amazing tour guide. Super fun, engaging and knowledgeable. We did the walking tour in the am and enjoyed it so much we did the byob trolley tour that afternoon!
★★★★★Viator review
Loved the trolley trip
Judy_B, October 2026
It truly is funny! We brought our own seltzers-the bathroom stop in the middle was gr8! Saw alot and did do the steps to see Rocky!!! Tim was an excellent guide❣️
Response from the operator · Founding F
Haha, sounds like you had an absolute blast! Bring-your-own seltzers and a perfectly timed bathroom break are definitely key to a great tour. We are so glad you got to see so much—and running up the Rocky Steps is a must-do! Tim will be thrilled to hear he made the trip so memorable. Thanks for sharing the love, and we hope to see you on another adventure soon! 🥂🥊
