Historical Early America Tour in Philadelphia (Center City East)
Description
You create your own start time subject to my approval, of course, as to my availability for any particular hour you choose. (There are also set times at 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. daily.) Visit various American Revolutionary historic sites and unique vistas within the eastern section of the Center City section of America's first capital. See places where people have lived continuously since the 1700's, important locations of the planning of the American Revolution, the home of the inventor of electricity, and more. I’m a native, so my tours aren’t corporate, scripted, or shouted through a megaphone. I keep it relaxed, engaging, and actually fun - more like exploring with a local than surviving one of those loud, cookie‑cutter groups.
