2.5 Hour Philadelphia History Tour with Washington War Tent Show
Overview
Join a local expert guide on a relaxing stroll into the past on this Old City Philadelphia walking tour. We take our time and take a deep dive into what makes Philly such a historically significant city. After all, this is where the United States of America was born!
Explore the cobblestone streets of Old City, past stunning pieces of architecture and iconic monuments. Learn about the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution while standing in the shadow of the building where both founding documents were created. View the famous Liberty Bell and discover why this broken bell is revered as a powerful symbol of freedom. Pay respects to Benjamin Franklin while at his grave site.
