My name is Tom and I am History Swiftly. I am a U.S. history teacher in a local, suburban school district and am passionate about teaching history and sharing that love of history. Over the last 20+ years as a teacher, I’ve taken students from Quebec City to Boston to Gettysburg to Annapolis to Washington. Philadelphia is always a favorite tour. I enjoy sharing all of the wonderful history and fun Philadelphia has to offer and offer recommendations on how best to see the city!
Exceptional, super interesting, he knows everything about history in Philly. Really entertained, making questions and answers regarding history facts. He maintained the group absolutely focused on what he was explaining. Not only spent adults a good time, but also the kids were fascinated about the explications Thomas gave.
Amazing morning! Tom led us on a fantastic tour through all the key historical sites of Philadelphia, striking the perfect balance between walking and comfortably seated discussions during in-depth explanations. Beyond the tour, he provided excellent recommendations for the rest of our stay—great restaurants, vibrant markets, and even concerts happening that weekend. Overall, an outstanding experience—highly recommended!
Thomas was one of the best guruwalks guides we have EVER had! He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and patiently answered all our questions. He even provided tips and suggestions on how to spend the rest of our time in Philly. Our Philly trip was memorable, thanks to Thomas.
