Tour guide in Philadelphia Alex D.

Welcome to Philadelphia! I’m Alex Doty, a native Philadelphian and local expert dedicated to uncovering the 'hidden' narratives that define my city. My background is rooted in the very fabric of Philadelphia’s evolution; for over a decade, I served as the Executive Director of the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, where I worked alongside city leaders to transform our urban landscape and trail systems. I specialize in high-level, intellectual storytelling for curious travelers. I have had the privilege of leading private tours for two Philadelphia Mayors, members of Congress, and international delegations of urban planners and engineers. Whether we are analyzing the strategic 'what-ifs' of the Civil War or exploring the modern urban renaissance of our riverfront, I bring a level of professional insight you won't find in a guidebook. I also offer a deeply personal connection to American history: as the great-great-grandson of George T. Morgan, the designer of the legendary Morgan Silver Dollar, I provide an exclusive primary-source look into the life of the immigrant artist who defined the face of US currency. My goal is to provide an experience that challenges your perspective and leaves you with a unique understanding of the City of Brotherly Love.
