Philly

Several times a month we leave the "history" behind us and simply wander around the most beautiful parts of Philadelphia such as Rittenhouse, Fairmount & Brewerytown, Fishtown & Northern Liberties, as well as Chestnut Hill. We call these "beautiful blocks tours". We also schedule one off tours and events for special holidays and occassions.
