A private city tour of Philadelphia can be from 4 hours - 8 hours, depending on the destination. Pick-up and Drop-off locations are the group’s choice. While many visitors to Philadelphia have specific sites they would like to see, many are happy to let our team create a custom itinerary that fits their interests, budget, mobility, and timeline. Typically, tours spend most of their time in and around Philadelphia, but we welcome any ideas for your dream tour.
No two groups are alike and we will plan a trip tailored to your group's interests, budget, and needs. Below are some sample itineraries to use as inspiration for your perfect tour:
Highlights Tour:
A tour designed to hit some of Philly's Must-See Spots may include a ride through Old City and Independence National Park, a stop for a photo at the world-famous Love Sculpture, or a run up the Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. These 2 or 3-hour-long tours are usually focused on driving, with limited time to explore on foot.
Half-Day Tour:
A half-day tour allows more opportunity for you to take full advantage of being on a driving tour. You'll visit all of the Must-See Spots, as well as having time to explore even more famous sights and other neighborhoods - like driving through the colorful Italian Market, getting out of the van to go into the Liberty Bell Exhibit, or seeing the incredible and imposing Eastern State Penitentiary where Al Capone was once held.
Full-Day Tour:
A full-day tour gives you the chance to explore all of the Must-See spots of Philadelphia to their fullest: go inside Independence Hall with a ticket we can pre-arrange, grab lunch at Reading Terminal Market and take the time to shop its incredible selection of products and food, do a cheesesteak taste-test at a different spots around the city, walk through the Italian Market, learn about the beauty of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, or head down to South Philly to see Lincoln Financial Field, Citizen's Bank Park, and the Navy Yards. Your wish is our command!
