I'm Robert T., your private tour guide in Philadelphia

Guide #31167

I'm a descendant of President James Buchanan's brother (John Buchanan). Educated in political science and law. I've resided in the Philadelphia area for over 50 years with over 25 of those years within the historic Center City region of Philadelphia. I've traveled to Europe, the UK, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, and throughout North America (including Canada & Mexico). I'm personable, entertaining, and most people say I have a good sense of humor. I appreciate all sorts of people and cultures, and enjoy showing my city to all. You'll have a unique journey through Center City Philadelphia with me, and I'll guide and advise you as to how to get the most out of your visit to America's first capital. Licensed Driver None (except any illegal activities). Possible availability on days listed as being unavailable.

    Thank you for the visit. I noticed the missing star in the review. I’m guessing it slipped away and landed on a Georgia Bulldog helmet for the season. Enjoy the run - may your team treat that star well.

    Thank you for the generous feedback. Having guests who value the depth of our American history from Gettysburg to the Philadelphia Revolutionary campaign makes the work worthwhile. I appreciated your interest in the Eisenhower farmhouse as well. It’s a strong addition to any Gettysburg visit. Thanks again for choosing my touring services.

    Robert was a great and informative tour guide. More importantly, in our case, he was able to keep my husband with Alzheimer's interested and comfortable for the entire 5 hrs ( husband had a companion with him who also enjoyed the tour). Very grateful!

    Thank you for the thoughtful review. I’m happy that your husband stayed comfortable and interested during the tour, and that his companion had a good day as well. I appreciate your trust in me to handle the full day with them. Wishing you all the best.
