The Colonial Philadelphia Experience is a fully-guided tour on foot through America’s Birthplace – the heart of Philadelphia's historic district.

Step out to Philadelphia's modern day Market Street and learn how it got its name from the colonial market stalls that bustled with life in the 1700s as you stroll towards Independence National Historical Park.  Hear stories of the people, places and things that made Colonial Philadelphia the seat of government for the young nation. We will visit neighborhoods where the Founding Fathers lived and see how contemporary Philadelphians have made them their own.  See the same tiny courtyards and by-ways of colonial Philadelphians – only seen while on foot!

Sites visited include*: Liberty Bell Center, Independence Hall, Congress Hall, First and Second Bank of the US, site of Benjamin Franklin’s home, Betsy Ross House, Franklin’s grave, Elfreth’s Alley, Christ Church, and others.
