Philadelphia Tours A City Of Layers
Philadelphias claim to fame is its Historic District
, after all its the City where America was founded, the first seat of government, the City where Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams walked the streets, drank in the City Tavern, established a brave new agenda in Independence Hall and where Betsy Ross plucky courage continues to be revered more than 230 years after the Declaration of Independence was written.But Philadelphia is so much more. Every year visitors come to the City not knowing about how much there is on offer, and every day, these same travelers leave in awe of the depth and breadth of what theyve seen.
Within a few hours of touring with both Awfully Nice Tours and with Urban Adventures, visitors get to see the Italian or 9th Street Market, an authentic and eclectic real-life experience of daily living in South Philly, filled with local stories of 2nd, 3rd and 4th Generation residents from Italy, Ireland, Poland, Mexico and the far reaches of Asia. They get to taste the food and enjoy the vibrancy of one of the most important and fascinating City neighborhoods in the whole of the United States.
Within that same few hours the visitor can learn of the deep and emotional history of African Americans, from their first arrival in this City of Brotherly Love, to the establishment of the Free African Society, to the Race Riots of the 19th Century, the work of W.E.B. Dubois right through to the Philadelphia music scene and the role of African Americans today.
Within a few hours, travelers will get to hear about and see the locations of movies such as Trading Places, Rocky, Rocky II and Rocky Balboa, Mannequin, National Treasure and Philadelphia, to name but a few.
Within hours, our travelers will learn about the Philly Cheese Steak, the Philly Soft Pretzel and Dr. Physicks Soda Pop.
And in that same amount of time the visitor will see wondrous sights such as the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Rodin Museum, Schuylkill River, City Hall and the Comcast center, and they will learn about the more than 3,000 murals that have been created in and around the City and the superb collections of public art that adorn our streets.
Its no wonder first time visitors return to see more, because the list above is just the tip of the iceberg, the first few layers of the onion. Just when you think youve understood it all well start telling you about Lancaster County, valley Forge, the Brandywine Valley and fascinating museums such as the Rosenbach, Mutter and Liberty.
Just make sure you get a good guide to take you around!!
