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!
Tom was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! On top of taking us to the main historic sites in old Philadelphia, he was so entertaining and taught me and my daughters so many interesting facts that you wouldn’t find in the guide books or on the many historic plaques around the city. He also brought hot chocolate which we enjoyed on a very chilly spring afternoon. If you’re interested in the history of the city and love an engaging and educational walk, look no further than Tom!
Thomas was a great host, he has lots of knowledge and really keeps the group engaged throughout the tour. Big recommendation!
