The pink bus eases away from Market & South 6th with porcelain clinking and the city unfolding like a map under a slow, measured tea pour. Through large windows guests watch the Liberty Bell slide by, the Benjamin Franklin Parkway fan out with museum façades, and the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art punctuate the skyline—each landmark narrated by a live guide as steam curls from a tumbler of one of three curated teas.
