shelleyI was entertaining two friends from out of town and this walking tour was a perfect way to show them Philadelphia from a Black perspective. My friends are history buffs and very knowledgeable and left the tour learning more about the founding of our country. This tour is a great value and you'll meet interesting people in the tour group who have a thirst for the full history and untold stories of the United States!

The narrator was knowledgeable and the history was rich! I was very impressed with the information presented. I look forward to a tour in person! Great job Raina! Let’s support small black businesses as we increase our knowledge of our rich history! Rene’e Mills Hill
