Overview

Grab your favorite six-pack or a boxed wine and you'll board a charming trolley for an enthralling Philadelphia sightseeing adventure. As you journey through the city, you'll not only witness its major landmarks but also hear fascinating tales about Philly that might surprise even the locals.

You make pit stops to explore key attractions like City Hall, Love Park, and for a dash of cinematic thrill, challenge yourself to replicate Rocky Balboa's iconic run up the famous Rocky Steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

But the adventure doesn't stop there. We travel thru charming streets of historic Old City, where you'll have the chance to lay eyes on legendary sites such as Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Betsy Ross House, and more.... Lastly, take a leisurely stroll down Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continuously inhabited residential street in the nation, where your tour reaches its delightful conclusion.
