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.

    This was our first visit to Philadelphia. Bob was our guide and he was the best! He knows the city so well.

The afternoon was spent at the Valley Forge area and Bob was very knowledgeable...

    Thank you, I’m glad the pick‑up worked well. Once we returned to Center City, I appreciated your interest at each site. It was a pleasure spending the day with both of you, and I hope your state‑to‑state travels are going smoothly.

    Robert was a very knowledgeable and great guide for our 3-plus hour tour. We learned the many areas that make up Philadelphia. The history Robert gave was very detailed and interesting from its beginning to modern day and pointed out areas of interest to relate to his tour information.

    Thank you for the great review. You were fresh off a cruise and still jumped right into a private driving tour - good sports all the way through. It’s a solid way to ease back into land-life and enjoy some local epicurean delights. I’m glad the history, neighborhoods, and real‑time city happenings all connected for you. Thanks again for choosing my tour -...

    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.
