Description:

Celebrate the unmistakable sights of Philadelphia on this guided, historical walking tour through the city's Independence National Historical Park. Reexplore American icons like the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, Christ Church, and the UNESCO-listed Independence Hall.

Meet your guide at the Independence Visitor Center near the Independence Mall, National Constitution Center, and US Mint. A walk from the center, through the mall, and across the street takes you to the President's House, a site that served as the White House from 1790 to 1800—home to George Washington and John Adams during Philadelphia's tenure as the US capital.

Pause for a photo at the Liberty Bell and then head to Washington Square to hear stories about William Penn or visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Independence National Park is one of the most visited historic districts in the US. Walk past its centerpiece, UNESCO-listed Independence Hall, where debates were once held over the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.

Inside the Independence National Park is Old City Philadelphia, commonly known as “America's most historic square mile.” Here, see Benjamin Franklin's home and pass some of the trendiest pubs, shops, and cafés in the city. Take a break at a local coffee shop before continuing to the Betsy Ross House and Christ Church—America's first Episcopal church. End your tour at a local brewpub, where you can sip a locally brewed beer or enjoy a soft drink.
