Explore the city of Philadelphia on a private driving tour, customized to suit your preferences, and available as either a half-day or full-day option. During the half-day tour, you'll visit Old City to discover the incredible history of Philadelphia, birthplace of the United States. View iconic symbols of American freedom, such as Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were created) and the Liberty Bell. Drive past the charming 18th-century home of Betsy Ross and the peaceful resting place of Benjamin Franklin. Head a few blocks south to explore the vibrant and eclectic community of South Philly. Dazzling street art lines the streets and alleys of this bustling neighborhood. Take a drive up the Italian Market and perhaps pop into some of the amazing bakeries and cheese shops for a quick snack. Learn about the rich immigrant history of Philadelphia and how this city has always been built upon the people moving here from around the world. Head into modern Center City with it's towering skyscrapers. Our ornate City Hall, with a statue of William Penn standing on top, is a sight to behold. Across the street is the world famous LOVE Statue, which makes for a wonderful photo op. Down the street from there is the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is the famed location of the Rocky Steps.

Our guide, Jim, was fantastic and super knowledgeable about the history surrounding the city. He was very accommodating with our kids and our schedule. We really can’t say enough great things about him. Our family had a great time and it’s something we will never forget.

I only had half a day to explore and Marty did an excellent job of getting me to all of the locations that I wanted to explore. He was very knowledgeable and truly loves showing people around Philadelphia. I highly recommend Marty!
