Free Tour in North Philadelphia by a local.

About the Tour

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.

Meeting point: Open in Google Maps

How to find me: Northeast corner of 2nd and Market. I will be holding a sign that says (North Philadelphia born and raised Free tour) (name of tour) on it.
