What to do and see in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PA): The Best Beer Tastings & Tours

October 27, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

One of the most historic cities in America, Philadelphia is an ideal place to spend a weekend - preferably a long one. Be sure to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall, where the Constitution and Declaration of Independence were signed. Both are part of Independence National Historic Park. Philadelphia also boasts some outstanding art museums, including the Rodin Museum. The Franklin Institute Science Museum is one of many area attractions honoring the life and work of Benjamin Franklin, the city's most famous ambassador. After digesting all of that history, be sure you save room for a classic Philly cheese steak sandwich.

Being a local, I would never thought in doing this but as we had friends in town we thought it was a good way to show them around with a fun twist! Glad we did, and we enjoyed the tour very much.

Guys. Seriously. This is straight-up some of the most fun I've ever had with a bunch of strangers. My wife and I had the best time on this tour. And listen, Zach is THE BEST. He's knowledgeable and chill and funny and just a straight-up cool dude. When you book, ASK FOR ZACH.

A huge part of Philadelphia is the food and places associated with it. This tour focuses on both the iconic and locally known dishes that make Philly a foodie hotspot. Come hungry because over the course of this brief tour we will start with cheesesteaks and move across the spectrum of local dishes and drinks. Don't expect touristy eating establishments.
