Independence Walking Tour

Service Description

Join us for our acclaimed ninety-minute walking tour that takes you from the beginnings of conflict with Great Britain through the fight for independence and on to the writing of the Constitution and the creation of the United States of America. Our top-rated tour guides will bring you to the building where Jefferson lived and wrote the Declaration of Independence, the site of the president’s mansion when Philadelphia was the nation’s capital, the first federal bank (Alexander Hamilton’s crowning achievement), the one-time home of Dolly Madison, the first stock exchange building in the United States, the building that housed the first library in North America, Carpenter’s Hall (where the first Continental Congress met and took the first baby steps toward the colonies’ uniting into one country), and, of course, Independence Hall, where American independence was debated and declared and where the U.S. Constitution was written. Our tour guides are both passionate students of history and engaging storytellers who can really help you understand not only the WHAT of all that happened here in those critical years, but the WHY. So get ready to experience a journey into history like none other in Philadelphia! These tours begin and end at the Independence Visitor Center at 599 Market Street. Reserve your place today!
