Private guide and car · Pickup in Philadelphia
Your own guide picks you up in Philadelphia and drives you from Old City to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and Fairmount Park, for half a day or a full day. Pick it for families, tired feet or a group that wants the whole city at its own pace.
The same kind of private tour as the Valley Forge private tour, turned on the city. A guide collects you at a location of your choice within Philadelphia, all parking fees are paid, and you choose a half day or a full day. In Old City you see Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, and drive past the Betsy Ross House and Benjamin Franklin's resting place.
Then the city opens up. The listing heads into South Philly for its street art and the Italian Market, then Center City for City Hall with William Penn on top and the LOVE statue, then up the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Rocky Steps, and on into Fairmount Park. The full day leaves time for shops, more historic interiors and a proper meal. This tour does not go to Valley Forge, about 20 miles west.
The listing has 5.0 stars from 28 reviews, with 5.0 for guide, transport and value. Guests name Jim and Adam and praise how flexible they were with children and schedules. Booster seats are available on request, and the operator says its tours are accessible for most disabilities. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

★★★★★Our guide, Jim, was fantastic and super knowledgeable about the history surrounding the city. He was very accommodating with our kids and our schedule. We really can’t say enough great things about him. Our family had a great time and it’s something we will never forget.
