I'm Mark S., your private tour guide in Philadelphia
Guide #62387
I am passionate about American History, and am excited to share the large, immersive, outdoor classroom of Center City Philadelphia with you. I am a former Professor of Early American History, a docent at Carpenters Hall, a volunteer with the Independence Historic Trust, and a Research Fellow of the First Continental Congress. I have been a volunteer guide at Powel House, Washingtons Crossing, Moland House, and Laurel Hill Cemetary. I believe that the story of our country is built upon the people, the stories, and the struggles of our founders. I thrive on talking about these amazing people, and will be excited to show the specific sites that define our past. I also believe that an awesome tour stays with you forever. I promise not to download dozens of dates and facts that will be forgotten in a few days. My goal is to amaze you with the stories that teach, explain, and instill you with the same pride that I feel every time I walk through this most amazing city.

He added details - both important and...

We highly recommend you take this tour with Mark! He was amazing and even did our tour in the rain! Had to love his smile as he was so passionate about all that he was sharing that happened in Philly. We learned a lot of history and I'm having a great time sharing it with my Grandkids. It was so nice that he took care of where we went and I felt like we saw...
