Tour description
Philadelphia is where the United States was born: the city where the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed, and where the young nation first found its voice. On this walking tour, a local guide will take you through the cobblestone streets of Old City, bringing the Revolutionary era vividly to life.
You’ll stand in front of Independence Hall, hear the story of the Liberty Bell, and walk along the oldest residential street in America. Along the way, you’ll discover Benjamin Franklin’s city, colonial-era taverns, and the place where American democracy was born. Steeped in history and surprisingly easy to explore on foot, Philadelphia offers one of the most meaningful city tours in the United States.
