About Our Philadelphia Guided Tours

Reid Addis is a Registered Architect who has lived in the City of Philadelphia since 1978. While practicing architecture, he began teaching courses from 1980-1990 at Temple University, including a course on the History of Philadelphia Architecture. After taking a walking tour with famed City Planner Ed Bacon, Reid was inspired to give his students similar Philadelphia guided tours.

Since 2016, Reid has given over 600 tours both in person and virtually.


Currently residing in the Old City area of Philadelphia, Reid would love to introduce you to his city with a tour of Philly.
