Vacation rentals in Philadelphia

Almost everyone comes to Philly for the amazing history! But not many people get to see the real-life neighborhood that the Historic District is part of. On this tour, we'll take you past many of those Must See places (Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House, Christ Church and more), but we'll also show you *our* favorite places in the Old City neighborhood - an adorable coffee shop, charming back streets, early 1900's warehouses that have been converted into apartments, awesome restaurants and shopping, and lots more! We'll even treat you to a local treat along the way! While the main focus of this tour is Philadelphia's history, we will certainly share lots of our own favorite tidbits about Old City and you'll have plenty of time to ask questions at the end. If you're looking to cover all the historical highlights, but don't want the same-old same-old, this is the experience for you! Let us show you the local side of Philly! Other things to note This tour runs rain or shine, so please dress appropriately for the weather. Personal shopping, additional food and drinks, and gratuity are not included. Some sites may not be open to us on a Sunday or due to Covid.

On this experience, we'll hit the country’s oldest and largest everyday open-air market for some authentic, Philly foodie action: the 9th Street Italian Market. We'll take you into some of our favorite shops, meet some store owners and hear their personal stories of food, history, and community, perhaps sample some food, and tell you the not-so-common stories of one of the most colorful neighborhoods in Philadelphia. You'll get to see fresh produce stands (with incredible prices!), established cheese shops, cafes with fresh coffee, chocolate, and gelato, spice shops, and more. We both also like to stay open to visiting any shop that catches *your* eye, there's so many! In addition to the market and its history, we'll also explore some historic and charming hidden side streets and eclectic and colorful mosaics and murals that only locals know about! The original "suburbs" of Philadelphia, these townhomes are now in the thick of it! And, of course, a visit to South Philly wouldn't be complete without some Rocky trivia and nostalgia (if you're so inclined).

This is *not* a food tour, food samples are not guaranteed.

With over a 300 year history, from the Revolutionary War to its revitalization in the past 50 years, come experience Philadelphia with me. This is an historic events tour with an architectural twist. Every building has a story to tell, from the materials, technology, and styles favored when it was constructed, to the people who designed, built, lived and worked there. Events of historic proportion take place in and around buildings as well. Come with me on this journey to discover all the secrets each building on our tour is waiting to tell us. We will be walking through Old City and Society Hill, visiting the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the United States, and seeing the same buildings the Founding Fathers worked and worshiped in. Whether your interest is architecture, American History, visiting the places where Ben Franklin and George Washington lived and worked, or humming a tune from the Hamilton play as we experience Philadelphia as the Capitol of the United States, this tour is for you! Other things to note Bring cameras as there is much to photograph. Snacks that you like are good to have, or there are plenty of stores along the way. A hat and comfortable shoes are also a good idea to wear.
