Great Walking Tours of Old Philadelphia

Philadelphia was our country's seat of government before the location was moved to Washington D.C. Before that we had a capitol for a short time in New York. But it was Philadelphia where our founding fathers worked out our Union's constitution and where the famous Liberty Bell is located. The city is an amazing repository of historical architecture and it may bring tears to one's eyes when taking one of the good walking tours while a guide relates everything our forebears went through to create a country and a constitution that was unique in all the world.

The Philadelphia Business Journal has called this tour one of Philadelphia's top 25 tourist attractions. They take visitors to more than 15 historic sights in just around 1.25 hours. This company has both self-guided and guided tours. Personally, I would not give up a $17.50 guided tour of this city because you will get an encapsulated history lesson while walking. These people know their stuff and many have been history buffs their entire lives. These depart from the Independence Visitors' Center regularly and tours are 7 days a week, including many holidays. Some of the sites they visit are: Independence Hall, the first Bank in the U.S. Liberty Bell Center, Betsy Ross House, Christ Church and Signers' Walk. This is only a 1.25-mile walk, but wear comfortable shoes as with any walking tour. Tickets are purchased online from this web site above, which will save money.
