The church where our Founding Fathers attended, and where George Washington's pew is available for the public.

Betsy Ross House

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?

Lois did a great job telling us about the city! My parents and I had never been to Philly before, and she did an excellent job informing us about the city's history and taking us to historical places. We loved the driving part of the tour, and she really knew her way around the city! I would totally recommend having a private tour of the city! It was the perfect amount of walking to driving, and she even ended the tour right around where our lunch place was!

This Philadelphia old town walking tour was one of the highlights of our Philadelphia trip. My family had never been to Philly and Lois did a wonderful job explaining the history with interesting facts. Lois was gracious and attentive to our questions. It was a wonderful experience!

Thanks so much. Your group was such a pleasure to be with!! I'll never look at the weeds growing in the cracks of sidewalks with disdain again.!!

This was our first trip to the USA and we visited several states during our time there. From New York we moved onto an area in Pennsylvania which was an hour drive to Philadelphia. We were keen to visit Philadelphia for the day, and have a tour from a true local before moving to the next state. After much searching, we found Lois, and from first contact, she couldn’t have been more helpful. Our customised tour included hotel pick up and drop off which made things so easy for us!! We saw all the sites and more, and we even had time to lunch and try a Philly Cheesesteak, which is a must! Lois was a delight to spend the day with. She has a great sense of humour and she went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you Lois, you’re a star! An unforgettable day for sure!
