Private: Philadelphia Founding Fathers Tour — America 250 Edition

About this activity

America turns 250 only once. And there is only one place to be, Philadelphia. This is where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Where the Constitution was written. Where the Liberty Bell rang and changed the world forever. On this private 2-hour walk through Old City, you won't just see these places, you'll stand in them, in the exact year the nation marks its 250th birthday. Your dedicated guide, fluent in your language, brings every cobblestone and every founding moment to life. Walk the same streets as Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson. Stand where America was born. And at Elfreth's Alley, the oldest street in America, receive your official America250 "1776" commemorative postcard to mail home from Benjamin Franklin's own post office, right on the tour route. From the Betsy Ross House to Independence National Historical Park, every step is 250 years of history. This is not a regular tour. This is a once-in-250-years experience. Book now, this moment will never come again.
