This was great, wife and I shared ear buds so we were hearing it at the same time. Took you through the best parts of Philly with lots of details which has more info than the guided tours. It's a long tour from start to finish it was over a 5 mile walk to do it to completion.

Wow! That made my day! Philadelphia is wonderful and I’m so glad I’ll be able to “show” you other wonderful places on future trips (I have a bunch of tours around the country).

Go for it! Great tour, great audio narrator, easy to use! Literally just go to the Welcome Stop to begin the tour and it tells you what to do after that.
