The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes

Available in English

Description

Free tip-based walking tour through Historic Philadelphia, where the United States was born and where Alexander Hamilton laid the foundations of America's financial future. Together we'll explore the streets where history was made and discover how one immigrant helped shape a nation that would become a global superpower.

Along the way, we'll meet Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Betsy Ross, Robert Morris, Thomas Jefferson, and other Founding Fathers. We'll separate legend from history, uncover hidden stories, and discover why Philadelphia became the stage for some of the most important decisions ever made in America.

Total walking distance: ~1.5 miles (2.4 km), mostly flat, with opportunities to stop, rest, and take photos throughout the tour.

Walk through the birthplace of American independence as we uncover the stories behind the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the remarkable people who created a new nation.

Follow Alexander Hamilton's extraordinary journey—from a poor immigrant from the Caribbean to George Washington's trusted aide and America's first Secretary of the Treasury. Learn how Hamilton built the country's financial system, established the First Bank of the United States, created America's credit, and helped transform a fragile collection of states into a strong and stable nation.
