There is a lot more to Philadelphia than Ben Franklin, cheesesteaks, and the Liberty Bell. Philly is a living history lesson filled with stories, conflicts, food, and defiance. IT'S THE BEGINNING OF AMERICA. The Declaration of Independence from the Crown. The first capital of the United States. The first protest for the abolition of slavery. Home of the first to knock out Mohammad Ali. That is what exists in the city of Brotherly Love. If coming to Philadelphia, whether it is a long layover, weekend getaway, or your a Sunday Historian; booking a tour with me is not simply learning a few facts but your first step in becoming a Philadelphian. This is your introduction. From Betsy Ross' House to the churches of Fishtown and onward to the Calle de Oro. You will see it all. I look forward to being your guide. Aww Right!

You've seen all the tourist attractions and now want to know what really makes Philly stand out? It's the neighborhoods! On this tour we get into the gossip, secrets, and controversy in Philly's past and present. The young and elite in and around Rittenhouse Square with views of the city that most never see. The Parkway Museums and Art Museum which is Philly's ode to Paris. The 30 year construction of City Hall and the businesses and homes that sprang up around it. The Quaker Experiment in finding inner light via solitary confinement called the Eastern State Penn. This is Philly.
-Starting in the center of City Hall we begin in 1873 and Philadelphia's formal move from it's original boundries. -We will take a look at the people's who first inhabited the various sections of Philly and work our way down South Broad and over to Rittenhouse Square where we will trace the history of the elite who once lived there. -Slowly we will make our way over to the Parkway and finally the Art Museum and Fairmount Water Works before finally wrapping it up at the Eastern State Penn.
