Philadelphia History, Highlights, and Revolution

Philadelphia is widely regarded as one of America's most historically significant cities, and for good reason! This is the city where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were born. It was Philly that served as America's capital before Washington DC even existed. Here is where the American flag was created, where Ben Franklin proved that lightning was electricity, and where the iconic Liberty Bell rang and cracked but endures as a symbol of freedom. These are just a few examples of how Philadelphia has helped shape the United States of America.
Tour guests will take a guided stroll through Independence National Park, along the cobblestone streets of Old City, past buildings, statues, and monuments, and through the history, they think they know. The local guide will separate the fact from the fiction and participants will be amazed by Philadelphia's remarkable past.
