Customer Reviews

Pretty good

We stayed a long weekend, and this guide was useful. Note, its several years old. They have lists of recommended things to do and where to stay. I didn't really follow all of that, but it was still helpful. We found the Holiday Inn Historic on AAA web site at a great price, and knew more information about it because of this guide.

Great Guide For a 2 Day Trip to Philly

My family and I used this guide to plan and have a great trip to Philly. We used restaurant, hotel, and sight portions of the guide, but focused mostly around Liberty Square. I wish it had pointed out a couple tips: go to the visitors center when it first opens in the morning, no matter how hard, and get tickets to liberty hall. Then, walking down to the Bell, you will avoid the 1 hour lines you have most of the day, and get right into the Liberty Hall tour. Then you've got time for a stroll before lunch, and the rest of the day to relax. I can't believe how many people were standing in long lines, or missed out on tickets because they showed up at 10am. Anway, good guide, and I'd buy another again from them.
