Steve was awesome! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would have been cool to see more sights up close in person, but I suppose that would require waiting in long lines for the major attractions. All in all, a great time

I took the tour with Seamus and had a lovely time! I learned a lot, had some good laughs and left feeling like I knew a lot more about Philly and the history of the American Revolution.
