When you visit Philadelphia...DO THIS!!!! You will be glad.

Kenneth_A, Oct 2021

A wholly amazing tour!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! D., our tour guide was an excellent instructor, ensuring we were all well qualified and comfortable operating the Segway before we ventured out into Philadelphia. D. brought the Philadelphia Murals to life, providing us the background of the murals in Philadelphia, detailing information regarding the artists, and the stories behind the murals. At the same time D. ensured all of us were safe as we made our way all over Philadelphia! D. also, all along the tour, took pictures of each family or group as the tour progressed. At the end, D. provided each family or group their pictures. We will cherish our pictures (in fact we've created a collage of our Philadelphia visit in which D.'s pictures play a large role, providing us wonderful memories and a fantastic experience).

Spectacular Tour

Heather_S, Oct 2021

Our tour was fabulous. So many beautiful murals with stories about Philadelphia weaved through them. D was a knowledgeable and kind guide. Having never ridden a Segway, he was able to get us going and lead us through some tricky areas in town perfectly. Even someone like me that only knows how to ride a bike can do it!
