On this tour you go around 8 miles from the Art Museum area all around Fairmount Park to Center City and back up the Parkway. We saw works from the 1800s all the way to present time. Jo was a great tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and able to answer any and all random questions that my sister and I could think of to ask. Having lived in this city for a while I was surprised to realize how little I knew about the sculptures I’ve seen and even more so, how many sculptures I didn’t even know existed. If I had to pick my top three favorite pieces from the tour I’d have to say the first would be Stone Age in America by John J. Boyle (1887). It’s a monument in the truest sense of the word, full of allegorical imagery as well as a clear artist intention. It’s also beautifully crafted. The next would have to be the 1964 Monument to Six Million Jewish Martyrs by Nathan Rapoport. This is one I never even knew existed, hidden in the middle of bustling Center City it depicts a mass of tangled limbs and figures in the cubist semi-abstract style. My final favorite is a close call between Roxy Paine’s Symbiosis and Jordan Griska’s Grumman Greenhouse. I think Paine’s Symbiosis wins, but only because once you find out this sculpture is made of pulled steel you’ll be floored. It depicts two trees holding each other up. It’s an incredible piece; inspiring and quietly powerful. Overall this was a wonderful tour and Philly Bike Tour does an incredible job of making you feel comfortable and safe while you have a great time biking through the city. I know I’ll be trying their other tour options soon. full review here: http://katharinefriedgen.tumblr.com/post/100239427591/philly-bike-tour-companys-outdoor-art-tour-k

We just got home from our 3 hour Philadelphia bike tour, and I had to post a review! We had a blast. Our guide was very knowledgeable (about things of historical significance, but more importantly, about cheese steaks!) I highly recommend taking a tour with this company!

We did the city tour with Philly bike Tour and loved it! What a great way to spend the day. Our guide was super friendly and geared our day to the interests of the group. Had we been staying in Philly longer we would have done a second tour! Thanks for such a fabulous day.
