Philadelphia 1-Day Bus Tour
Welcome to Philadelphia, the city that gave us the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell, Grace Kelly and the Philadelphia cheese steak sandwich. Join us as we drive you through the perfectly laid out streets that were established when the city was founded in 1682. See where George Washington served most of his presidency (Philadelphia was the nation's capital for ten years at the end of the 18th century) and the nation's first flag was probably sewn by Betsy Ross.
Climb up the Rocky steps in front of the Museum of Art in the footsteps of Stallone; visit the new-age shops along South St; see the animals in America's very first zoo; see the site of where Benjamin Franklin lived and take in the sheer beauty of America's largest urban park, Fairmount Park, which straddles the Schuylkill River and the Wissahickon Creek for ten miles.
Philadelphia is the nation's most historical city but it offers so much more with its flourishing arts scene, many great restaurants and more than anything, its friendly people. Philadelphia means "the City of Brotherly Love" in Greek, and that's exactly what it is.
Now you can experience the unique history and beauty of Philadelphia from the top of one our authentic London double-deckers. Our open-top tours of the city offer the most spectacular views and entertaining live commentaries from our fully-trained and friendly guides.
