What To Expect

Liberty Bell Center

we will walk past the Liberty Bell and view it from the outside, OR if time permits, enter the pavilion, and see it up close and personal.

Independence Hall

We view this from the outside while I explain it's importance. For an inside tour, visit Recreation.gov

Elfreth's Alley

This is the oldest continuously lived on street in the US. One block long with homes from 1730.

Christ Church

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.

Rocky Statue

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 was our wonderful tour guide. We were running late for our meeting time and she could not have been nicer or more flexible with us about it. She told us the tour was ours. Since it was our first visit to Philadelphia, she took us to all the tourist highlights but if you have been to Philly in the past, then she can find some nooks and crannies or hidden gems for you to explore. We wanted to take some quick photos at a couple of places so she would stop, let us out of car and then come back and get us a few minutes later since parking is at a premium in the city. It was a great way to see all the parts of the city in a safe fun way! Would highly recommend!

My mom and I had a wonderful personal tour with Lois. She picked us up promptly at our Airbnb. She took us all around the city to see and do things we wanted to do like the Magic Gardens, Liberty Bell, and Pats Cheesecake. Then she took us to a few new things she thought we would enjoy and we did like most of the collages and Elfreth’s Alley. She even introduced us to this local bakery that had the best cannoli. Lois was very knowledgeable about Philly and so friendly. She even dropped us off at the museum of our choice at the end of the tour. She was worth every penny. We would highly recommend anyone that wanted a great personal tour to take this tour with Lois. Tip: The more information you provide Lois with what you want to do the more she will be able to personalize it to you and your wants.
