Why take this tour?
Step aboard Philadelphia’s most exciting historical trolley experience with The Philly Captain! Hosted in partnership with America’s #1 history tour company, this one-of-a-kind adventure takes you through the streets of historic Philadelphia as we explore the people, places, and stories that built America.
Travel through Old City and see legendary landmarks connected to the Founding Fathers, the American Revolution, and the birth of the nation. Along the way, hear entertaining stories, hidden history, local legends, and Philly humor from your guide, The Philly Captain.
But this isn’t just a history tour — it’s a true Philadelphia experience. We’ll make a stop at LOVE Park to snap photos with the famous LOVE sculpture before heading to the iconic Philadelphia Museum of Art, where guests will have the chance to run up the legendary Rocky Steps just like Rocky Balboa himself.
Whether you’re visiting Philadelphia for the first time or you’ve lived here your whole life, this trolley tour combines history, sightseeing, and classic Philly energy into an unforgettable ride through America’s birthplace.
Hop on a trolley with a bottle of wine or six-pack of beer/seltzer for one of our unique BYOB tours of Philadelphia. We'll visit the city's major attractions as well as get insider knowledge about off-the-beaten-path sites.
