History @ Night

DESCRIPTION

Nothing beats walking around a beautiful, historical city like Philadelphia.....except for doing it at night. As the heat of the day fades away, the sun sets behind the iconic skyscrapers of the city, and night descends on the city of brotherly love, stories abound. Join us for a night time walking tour of the city of brotherly love that will help you learn the history of the city, the state, and the nation. We will SEEK out the truth behind the city's past, EXPLORE many hidden alleyways and forgotten stories, and WANDER how the lives and decisions of the city's and country's founding fathers shaped Philadelphia and America.

Put on those walking shoes, grab a bottle of water, and bring a friend or two!
