I am a Philly area native. I could have easily added to the tour guide’s education and told jokes about ex Mayor Rizzo or said Yoh-that’s where I worked my first job in 1977. but I digress I went with 2 other friends-not originally from Philly area and we just wanted to have some fun. The tour was all in good fun. the guide was very engaging and entertaining. highly recommend for a first time Philadelphia visitor to get a good overview of what we’re known for (besides getting angry when we lose at sports).Venture765581
