About
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!

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.

Took a tour with Josh last summer that was excellent! He tailored the tour to a specific area of Phillie of our interest. Josh had a deep knowledge of the history of the area and spoke to the architectural, social, and historical events in a skillful and interesting way. He was very well versed in the murals of the area as well. The pace of the tour was perfect, including a stop for water ice! I would highly recommend Josh for a Philadelphia tour!

It was a very good tour and our group of six ladies was very happy with it. It gave me and I think the others too a desire to explore the history of the beginnings of our country even more. Josh was excellent and also allowed us to hear two other very good guides in Christ Church and Independance Hall. I will happily recommend him to others.
