A truly great experience visiting Washington DC and Philadelphia. Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable. The schedule was strict, but we were able to see all the key spots, take great photos, and enjoy each area efficiently. The bus was also very comfortable.

We had a wonderful time on the Princeton University and Philadelphia tour with our guide, Daniel. He was very kind and considerate, giving us plenty of time and attention throughout the entire schedule. Unlike other tours that often feel rushed, this one was relaxed and comfortable. Daniel's detailed explanations of Philadelphia’s history and the founding of the United States were especially impressive. We truly appreciate his thoughtful guidance and warm hospitality.

Great food tour! Everything was absolutely delicious. definitely come with an empty stomach because even though it is only four stops it is much more than just four items to try.

General info
What to know before visiting Philadelphia
Philadelphia at a glance
Philadelphia’s Klook bookings are led by museums, tours and attraction passes, and demand has a pronounced summer rhythm with a clear July peak. The city’s booking mix suggests culture-focused daytime sightseeing and guided experiences dominate visitor plans through the year.
When to visit and what to expect
Klook data shows demand peaks in July, while March is the low point of the year. Prices move differently from demand: they dip in August and then spike in September, so the busiest month (July) is not the most expensive. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider travelling in August or March when activity and rates are both quieter; for full summer atmosphere choose July despite higher demand.
Tips for travellers from Singapore
Most visitors book fairly close to arrival — typical bookings happen about a day out, with many bookings made within a few days — so you can keep plans flexible. If you travel in July, consider locking in popular museum tours and attraction passes a few days earlier to secure preferred times; otherwise many experiences remain bookable at short notice on Klook.
