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!
Lovely tour with a friendly, thoughtful, expert guide. The weather was pretty awful, but that didn't matter at all, the hours flew by!
Thomas is an eighth grade history teacher, and you can tell he really enjoys the history of his city.
Thomas is a knowledgeable and passionate guide; there is a good balance of information and entertainment in his tour; he is also a thoughtful and caring person paying attention not only to the content and delivery style but to more earthy matters (for example, he brought hot tea for everyone since the day was cold). He is a nice person and my brother and I would highly recommend him as a guide.
