Center City & Parkway Museums - Art and Culture Tour

The Ben Franklin Parkway, our grand historic boulevard, modeled on the Champs de Elysee of Paris, is home to many great museums, parks, religious sites and striking architecture. We will begin at City Hall, with a gorgeous 360 degree view from its tower, proceed across the street to LOVE Park, then down the beautiful Parkway, stopping at many sites of interest, including the famous Philadelphia Museum of Art. Here you can take a picture with the Rocky Statue and walk/jog up the famous steps, if you like. We will then board a local bus to return to Center City, ending at our historic Reading Terminal Market, where you can refresh yourself with almost any type of food and drink that you desire. This is an awesome tour that shouldn't be missed!
