About this tour

Set out from New York for a private day among the landmarks and lively streets of Philadelphia. This 9-hour Philadelphia Landmarks Tour pairs the city’s defining chapters of American history with a taste of its everyday character, all with hotel or custom pickup and drop-off.

Visit the Liberty Bell, a powerful emblem of freedom, and Independence Hall, where the nation’s founding documents were signed. Then explore Reading Terminal Market, a bustling food hall with plenty to discover over lunch. Finish at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you can climb the Rocky Steps and take in sweeping city views. Along the way, your English-speaking driver shares local stories, historical context, and tips for exploring each stop independently. Drivers do not accompany guests inside museums or archaeological areas, so you can enjoy the attractions at your own pace.

Make the most of a full day beyond Manhattan with a private ride and a memorable mix of history, food, and film lore. Book your Philadelphia Landmarks Tour and see the city through its most recognizable sights.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
TourTruth score 7.9 out of 10
