Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I would say that I love to learn about my own guests' history and the special history of their cities and regions, and work to relate their backgrounds and interests to what I share with them in Philadelphia. First, I love sharing history in general and particularly the wonderful stories of Philadelphia's past, and secondly, meeting many interesting people.

We hired Josh for a 3 hour walking tour during our recent trip to Philadelphia (we had 4 in our group). It was our first visit, as such, we were interested in learning about its storied history, events, and people who shaped this city and country. Although Josh is filled with tremendous knowledge, he is thoughtful in his desire to shape the tour to the level of interests of the group. Professional, knowledgeable and friendly are the immediate traits that shine through in spending time with Josh. The 3 hours passed quickly in that we were engaged, enlightened and entertained by what we heard and saw. If you are interested in a personalized tour of Philadelphia, I recommend Josh's services!

My tour with Josh Silver was nothing short of amazing! He brought early American history, as reflected in the history of Philadelphia, to life. Everyone in my group was very much impressed and thoroughly enjoyed Josh’s running commentary.

Josh led our group of hockey players and parents on a brief but fantastic tour of old Philadelphia with a final stop at the Rocky Steps. His knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for his city kept us all engaged and didn't let the rainy weather dampen his spirit. A big thank you to Josh from the Kitchener Jr. Rangers Hockey Club. You will not regret choosing Josh to be your guide. Jeff H

I hired Josh to manage a private tour for my extended family and friends as they visited Philadelphia to celebrate my wedding. He was responsive and professional and as more friends and family signed up (over 50) Josh was able to bring on additional tour guides to accommodate. Everyone on the tour expressed to me how knowledgeable and interesting the walking tour was. Josh, and the team he brought on to tour our guests, was an integral part to the success of our wedding weekend.
