Philadelphia Private Tours

Philadelphia tours, Philadelphia private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
Welcome to Philadelphia! You must know that there's more to this historic American city than the Liberty Bell and Philly cheese steaks. A knowledgeable local guide is waiting to help you discover all that makes this Quaker City great, on your own private Philadelphia tour.

Independence Square Park has been dubbed "America's most historic square mile." Your guide will impress upon you the significance of this storied area, once the backbone of the U.S. government. See Penn's Landing, Betsy Ross House and Benjamin Franklin's grave. You may be interested in visiting Philly's Chinatown, or perhaps enjoying a picnic in beautiful Fairmont Park, the largest city park in the U.S. After your tour, enjoy a drink in one of Philadelphia's historic taverns - your guide will be able to recommend a few great options.

Whatever your personal interests in this city, your guide can accommodate them on a private Philadelphia tour designed just for you.

  THE TOURSBYLOCALS DIFFERENCE
  • You choose the ACTUAL PERSON who will give your tour. See their photo, bio, credentials and communicate with them in advance via our website. They are locals, living in the same area as the tour.
  • ONLY THE BEST GUIDES. Guides can't buy their way onto our system - each is chosen by ToursByLocals.
  • All Tours are PRIVATE, only you and people you choose.
  • Guide services are priced PER TOUR, not PER PERSON. However, there may be a 'per person' price component if the tour involves external costs such as admission tickets, etc.
  • Tours shown on website can be purchased directly - or the guide can customize them at your request.
  • Full contact information provided after booking. Plus, you'll have access to ToursByLocals 24 hour emergency contact number.
  • Looked through the site but still need advice? You can call ToursByLocals and talk to a REAL HUMAN!
