Overview

Trolley Tour of Philadelphia for Groups

Group rate for 15 or more guests

Experience the History!

Step aboard one of our signature burgundy and green Victorian-style "open-air" trolleys. Enjoy the view as the past meets the present through the colorful narrative of our experienced tour guides. Our knowledgeable staff will enlighten and entertain you with humorous stories and fascinating facts about Philadelphia's famous sights and attractions.

See where George Washington served most of his presidency (Philadelphia was the nation's capital for ten years at the end of the 18th century)and the nation's first flag was probably sewn by Betsy Ross.

Climb up the Rocky steps in front of the Museum of Art in the footsteps of Stallone; visit the new-age shops along South St; see the animals in America's very first zoo; see the site of where Benjamin Franklin lived and take in the sheer beauty of America's largest urban park, Fairmount Park, which straddles the Schuylkill River and the Wissahickon Creek for ten miles.

Philadelphia is the nation's most historical city but it offers so much more with its flourishing arts scene, many great restaurants and more than anything, its friendly people. Philadelphia means "the City of Brotherly Love" in Greek, and that's exactly what it is.

Now you can experience the unique history and beauty of Philadelphia from the seat of one of our signature trolley. Our tours of the city offer the most spectacular views and entertaining live commentaries from our fully-trained and friendly guides. See Philly at your own pace by hopping on and off at any of over 20 stops, or just sit back and soak in the history and the sunshine!
