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!
