Discover the best of Philadelphia with a tour covering all the city's basics with a bit of sass and a lot of love. This isn't your typical tour. You will learn the basics but also enjoy hearing about the dramatics, tawdry gossip, and bad behavior of Philadelphia's top names.
Begin your adventure at the Independence Visitor's Center and head to Benjamin Franklin's grave before seeing the exteriors of the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Then head to Washington Square Park, one of William Penn's five original parks, which contains both serene memorials and less serene stories.
