Top 10 highlights of Philadelphia
The fifth-biggest city in the United States by population, Philadelphia is more than just a cream cheese! It's where much of the foundation of the U.S. took place. Here are some great starting points for you to discover "Philly"...
Philadelphia Museum of Art
With over 227,000 individual objects in its various collections, you'd better dedicate an entire day to one of the country's premier art museums - there's not just American but international art to be seen!
Liberty Bell
This symbolic bell was rung as the Declaration of Independence was read out in 1776. Go and see it on the intersection of 6th Street and Market Street!
Independence National Historic Park
Follow the footsteps of Benjamin Franklin in the path to American independence.
Amish Country
Lancaster is the largest city in Pennsylvania Dutch country, where the Amish community has traditionally lived.
Rocky Location Tour
Visit the filming locations for the Rocky movies, from North to South Philadelphia. The best thing about this tour is not only that you'll see places in Philly you might not have thought of visiting before, but you'll also be able to meet and nerd out with other Rocky fans!
Magic Gardens
A homage to the art of mosaicing by Isaiah Zagar! You can learn about the mosaic garden's background from a tour guide, or simply wander through the shimmery labyrinth yourself.
Edgar Allen Poe National Historic Site
Poe, one of the most spine-chilling writers of all time, spent six years living in Philadelphia. Here, you can visit his home and listen to his stories as you walk thru to get a real sense of eerie context!
LOVE Park
Officially called JFK Plaza, Robert Indiana's famous LOVE sculpture lends the park its nickname. It's also home to a large and vibrant skateboarding community. If you're in Philadelphia at Christmas, don't miss the annual market held here!
Brandywine Valley
A tour to Brandywine Valley will allow you to visit grand country estates just outside the city, such as the Nemours Mansion, to enrich your understanding of the local area. Oh, and the chance to sample regional wines.
Pocono Mountains
There are so many things to see and do at this resort a couple of hours outside Philadelphia - including a water park and opportunities for skiing in the winter.
Planning Your Philadelphia Visit
Age limit
For all tours involving alcohol, such as to vineyards, all participants must be over 21 years of age.
Summer fun
Philadelphia is known for its summer events, so check online to see what's happening to ensure you don't miss out!
City tours
Plan to visit Philadelphia if you're visiting other East Coast cities like Washington DC or NYC - it's a relatively short drive or train ride.
Local dish
Philadelphia's famous sandwich is the cheesesteak. The best place to try one? You'll get different answers depending on who you ask and in which part of the city!

What people are saying about Philadelphia
rare knowledge and passion/ one of the best tours ever
The tour was led by Rob, a history aficionado, great communicator, all with the benefit of a much appreciated dose of humour. The natural consequence was one of the best tours we have ever had. And we do have quite an experience with city walking tours. A very good structure for the two hours -the general context clearly explained plus focus on relevant details.
Adam and Alex gave an amazing and insightful tour of Philly.
Adam gave us the historical tour of Philly and we learned things we had before known earlier on other tours. Our favorite part of the tour with Adam was learning so much about the liberty bell. Our favorite tour with Alex of the breweries was The Foodery. Thank you to both of them for such a great day of walking, learning and drinking!
A perfect activity for first day in Philly
We esp enjoyed Robin and Sebastion - we were sleep-deprived upon arriving to the city early, and this was the perfect activity to do all day before being able to check into our AirBnb. Learned a lot about the city and enjoyed the Hard Rock Cafe (first time to one) as well as Harbor Park (great place to take a nap).
Great way to obtain knowledge about the city without walking.
We had walked nearly 10 miles on the 1st day, but there were still some places throughout the city that we wanted to see. This gave us the flexibility to get on and off as we needed all while getting to hear knowledge about the city.
Adam was a fantastic guide whose enthusiasm was catching.
Adam was great with our teen boys. He was thoroughly knowledgeable and shared interesting facts with us. He gave us time to get out of car and do some exploring. We loved the trip!
