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!
Excelent guide. He knows everything and makes it fun. Super interesting. The Best walking tour I have taken in my life.
Amazing tour, Thomas is a fantastic tour guide, and a lot of great information you wouldn’t get by just walking around
Tom is a Great Guide, he gave us two entertaining Hours of history in Philadelphia and was very helpful to understand the American Revolution
Wow - this was truly one of the best historical city center walking tours I've ever been on - done a lot of these in Europe and one in dc and this one blew many out of the water - highly recommend - Thomas is a Philadelphia treasure - definitely get on one of his tours if you're in town ! Cheers Thomas thank you !
Thomas is a treasure trove of knowledge! I was very impressed by the way Thomas intertwines factual story’s, foundational figures, and historical events together all the while being highly engaging and fun thoughout the tour. If you’re interested in exploring Historical Philadelphia, Thomas is the guide to take this adventure with!
