Customer Reviews
Excellent insider guide
With plenty of photos, maps, and tips about what makes Philadelphia unique this is a great guide to the city. The interface is easy, and the categories break it down so I can find what I am looking for quickly. Highly recommended.
Impressive app!
I used to live in Philly, and this has almost all my favorite spots. It's perfect for anyone looking to visit because you'll be able to plan your whole trip. I love it because the entries all have photos and helpful info like hours, locations, websites, etc., on historical sites, restaurants, nightlife, and other things to do. Definitely worth the purchase!
Cuts to the chase!
What I like most about this app is that it weeds out places that are boring or too touristy (although there's a lot of historical info for people coming in from out of town). It reads like a local wrote it, and that's a good thing.
