About this activity

Philadelphia has served as the backdrop for some of your favorite movies and television shows—and there’s no better way to see these famous locations than on this fully guided walking tour. Step behind the scenes of the city’s film history as you explore the streets and landmarks that have appeared on the big and small screen.

Along the way, you’ll visit iconic Philadelphia locations like Philadelphia City Hall and LOVE Park, while hearing stories about the filmmakers who brought the city to life on screen, including directors like M. Night Shyamalan and Martin Scorsese. You’ll also stop by filming locations featured in hit shows such as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Cold Case.

Of course, no Philadelphia movie tour would be complete without paying tribute to the city’s most famous cinematic hero. You’ll visit several locations from the legendary Rocky franchise—including the world-famous Rocky Steps.
