Outdoor, Adventure, and Travel Company. Curated Experiences for the Curious! Hi - I'm John.
(9)

I'm a life long lover of history, food, culture, travel, and the outdoors. I've been organizing events, planning trips, and leading outdoor adventures for almost fifteen years now and I'm finally starting my own company. I can help you craft the perfect day touring one of the great cities of the Mid-Atlantic including NYC, Philly, Baltimore, and Washington D.C., setup the perfect family, bridesmai

d or bachelor party weekend filled with outdoor adventures, awesome food and drink, or I can tour you through small towns all the while connecting you with locals and local life. But above all, my passion is history and sharing the rich history of the area with locals and distant travelers alike. Check out my company's website for more information and to see what public tours/trips/events are coming up.

Halloween may have come and gone - but Scary Season continues. Our popular Dirty, Scary, and Buried in Philly Tours continue 6 nights a week through Tuesday November 26th. Enjoy a stroll around Old City Philadelphia and learn about the seedy, dirty, scandalous, and hidden history of Philly. So many ghost stories, tales of murder, infamous residents, and lost treasures that one of our nicknames should be the "City of Brotherly Sin"! Sign up on our website at www.seekexplorewander.com or on Eventbrite.

Sunday was such a beautiful day for a tour and hike around the idyllic and tranquil streets of the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia. Fall colors in abundance, folks out walking, jogging, cycling, and just enjoying the picture perfect fall we've been enjoying so far this year. Added bonus, attendees got to check out the neighborhood's annual Halloween weekend "on the hill" and see all the kiddos decked out in their costumes as they went trick or treating amongst the many and varied business. Perfect day all around!

Thanks to our sister Meetup group Wild Outdoor Adventures for co-hosting with us!

Got a great workout in on Monday Night covering 8.5 miles on the Green Ribbon Trail alongside of the Wissahickon Creek north of Philadelphia. Despite the cloud coverage ruining what was supposed to be our monthly "Moonlight" hike, the clouds and the occasional soft mist/sprinkle did not stop us from enjoying ourselves and time spent outside with friends new and old. Hoping the end of summer and fall weather cooperates on more hikes, but we'll still be out there no matter the conditions!

Thanks to Wild Outdoor Adventures for co-hosting with us!

Great weather for our a mid-week night hike on Wednesday. Last night took us through the trails and on the streets of the impressive, and beautiful, township of Gladwyne on Philly's main line. This used to be one of the top ten most expensive zip codes in the country, based on average home prices, and is still a haven for the influential and well to do of the area.

Don't miss our monthly full moon night hike next Monday, though weather may push it to Tuesday. Shout out and thanks to our sister group Wild Outdoor Adventures for co-hosting with us! Information and sign up here:

The recent stretch of great summer weather really made our History at Night Tours a blast the past few evenings and we're hopeful that the weather will stay warm, but not ungodly hot, and mostly dry in the next month till we switch over and start our Dirty, Scary, and Buried in Philly Tours non-stop from mid September till the middle of November. Fall and early Winter schedule coming out in the next week. Sign up for tours at www.seekexplorewander.com

We had an awesome time on our Polish Food Tour last Friday. Nothing beats the heat like sharing tasty Eastern European treats with clients! Unfortunately looks like we'll be unable to swing by Graffiti Pier at the end of our tour for the foreseeable future, but that won't stop us from working up an appetite and filling ourselves with the best Kielbasa, Pierogi, Golabcki, and other great tastes of the Slavic people on our tours! Full fall schedule to be posted by end of the week.

We had an absolute blast, and a full schedule, yesterday and today with tours as the city and country celebrated the Fourth of July. But we did manage to sneak in a quick break at the new Liberty Beer Garden next to Independence Visitor Center for a frozen margarita in between tours yesterday. And boy, with the heat and humidity, was it a welcome relief!

Tours continue all weekend - sign up on our website at www.seekexplorewander.com

A warm but lovely evening last night for our "History at Night" Tour. Started out with some free tunes courteousy of the U.S. Army Field Band and Chorus, and sadly no, we didn't see LeAnn Rimes. But we had a blast and even drew in several more tourists along the way as we stopped by the heavily trafficked historical locations like Elfreth's Alley.

Tours continue morning, afternoon, and in the evening through Monday. If you're in town and looking for something to do we got you covered!
