Overview

You create your own start time subject to my approval, of course, as to my availability for any particular hour you choose.

Visit various American Revolutionary historic sites and unique vistas within the eastern section of the Center City section of America's first capital.

See places where people have lived continuously since the 1700's, important locations of the planning of the American Revolution, the home of the inventor of electricity, and more.

Like any other major city, you'll want to travel with an experienced resident of this popular segment of a large Mid-Atlantic city with its own unique culture.

Please book this tour as is or you could contact me to customize this tour or for the creation of other possible custom tours.

(Also, tour guides are not required to be licensed in Philadelphia.)
