Free Tour in North Philadelphia by a local.
Tour description
Hi my name is Barry. I have been giving tours for about 8 years now. My tours have been primarily by Segway but I also have done walking tours. I don’t see this as a job but more as a passion of mine. On my tour we will be traveling thru time. Starting back to 1682 when our founder William Penn came to this land. We will walk the same foot steps our founding fathers walked. We will see and talk about the rich history old city has to offer. Some of the site we will see include:
The waterfront
The oldest continuously lived on street in America
Church where George Washington worshipped
Site of Our founders house
Irish Famine Memorial
First Bank
2nd Bank
Carpenters Hall
Ben Franklins Court
Independence Hall
A few murals (Philadelphia is the city of murals)
We will see all sites from outdoors. See what place intrigues you most and come back on your own and explore.
