Private Independence Tour

Service Description

Join us for our award-winning three-hour private walking tour that takes you from the very 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, Ben Franklin’s grave as well as the site of his home, and, of course, the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where American independence was debated and declared and where the U.S. Constitution was written. Other sites will be included as well, and if there are specific locations you want to see, or individuals such as Hamilton you’re particularly interested in, let us know! That’s the beauty of a private tour; we can tailor our itinerary to fit your interests. 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! We can pick you up at your hotel and return you after the tour, or meet you at the Independence Visitor Center, depending on your preferences. Book now!
