The colonial home of Betsy and her first husband, and their first floor shop. We talk about the creation of the first flag.

Welcome Park

This is a plaza on the site of the home where William Penn lived. he is the founder of Philadelphia, and we talk about who he was and how his philosophy of governing influenced our Founding Fathers.

For tours including driving, we stop at the statue and the steps made famous by the 1977 movie, Rocky.

Elfreth's Alley

North America's oldest continuously lived on street. Homes dating from 1730, Elfreth's Alley gives you a good idea of what living in Philadelphia was like in the 18th century. All homes are still privately owned and maintained. And be prepared to answer this question: would you like to live on Elfreth's Alley?

Louis was great and informative and patient. We loved her! We learned so much from her and got to see everything we wanted.

We enjoyed a great tour with Lois. She is warm, personable and extremely knowledgeable about the city and its history. We spent a significant time walking, which was great, but Lois also brings her car which allowed us to see South Philly and the sites on Benjamin Franklin Parkway that would otherwise be beyond walking distance. The perfect way to get to know the city, would definitely recommend!

Lois is a wonderful tour guide for anyone wanting the highlights of Philadelphia. She is accommodating and create the right tour for you. We did a 3-hour ride and walk tour of the historical part of town and the southside of Philadelphia. She was informative, knowledgeable and a delight for the 3-hours we were with her. We would highly recommend Lois to anyone wanting a customized tour of Philadelphia.
