What you can expect
Discover Philadelphia history beyond what the guidebooks tell you! View the most iconic historical sites of Independence National Historical Park, admire beautiful architecture, and absorb the rich historical significance of American Revolutionary War landmarks.
During our historic Philadelphia walking tour, we’ll pass by Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were born. We’ll also get a chance to see one of the most iconic artefacts from the American War of Independence, the Liberty Bell, from outside its home inside Liberty Bell Centre.
Other historic buildings in Old City, Philadelphia, we’ll pass on our tour include the very place where the American flag was created, the Betsy Ross House, and the site where inventor and statesman Benjamin Franklin lived and operated his post office.
Your local tour guide will take you down cobblestone streets and past terrace houses dating back to the city’s Revolutionary War period. You’ll feel transported back in time as you stroll down Elfreth’s Alley, the nation's oldest continuously inhabited residential street.
We’ll make our way up the steps and into the recreated site of the President’s House, where you’ll learn not only about the lives of the two leaders who lived here, but the often untold stories of individuals who had their own key roles to play in the founding of our nation.
This Philly history tour is for everyone, whether you’re an American history novice or a true history buff! Come join a local tour guide to hear the fascinating storey of a fledgling United States, get to know our historic and modern-day city, and enjoy the top historical things to see in Philadelphia!
