Description

We invite you to enjoy us on a tour of Philadelphia’s heart and soul- South Philadelphia! From Rocky Balboa to Cheesesteak, so many things that we consider quintessentially Philadelphian come from South Philadelphia. During this two hour tour, we’ll walk through South Philadelphia and learn about the origins of some of the things that people closely associate with Philadelphia. During your time with us, you’ll see sights related to the history of the cheesesteak and see various locations that are associated with the Rocky Movies such as Giordano’s and Victor’s Cafe. In the later part of the tour, we’ll go through Philadelphia’s Italian Market on 9th Street. There will be time built in for folks to shop and grab a bite or two and our guide will make themselves available to answer questions or give recommendations for their favorite secret spots in South Philly. Also included on this tour are several murals, which is a Philadelphia specialty! The murals and public art that decorates South Philly are one of the many elements that add to the cozy charm of the city and there will be plenty of opportunity to see some of the city’s most famous murals and learn about them.
