Itinerary

    Elfreth's Alley is named after Jeremiah Elfreth, an 18th-century blacksmith. Our tour starts here to give you a glimpse of what the city looked like during the American revolution. While much of Philadelphia has changed, this alleyway has remained the same, and today it’s designated a National Historic Landmark. From this spot you'll press start tour and put your phone in your pocket. From there our WalknTours patented technology will guide you through the streets. If you feel you are off track just check the arrow in the WalknTours app and it will point you in the direction of the next stop.

Learn more here!

    5 minutes

  • First Bank of the United States (Pass By)

    Alexander Hamilton! The First Bank of the United States was the cornerstone of Hamilton's fiscal policy operating from 1791 to 1811. It was Hamilton’s idea that a national bank was vital to stabilize and improve the nation's credit, and to improve handling of the financial business of the government under the newly enacted Constitution. See Hamilton's old stomping grounds and learn his story on our tour!

Rebel, with a cause, tour in old Philly.

Published on Dec, 2024

This tour is top notch. It is informative, entertaining and very easy to use. The narrator was easy to understand. I highly recommend it.

Amazing and so flexible to make it ours. I hope the company continues to grow!

Published on Oct, 2024

My husband and I had a blast on this tour! We were able to pause and research other interests that were peeked, as well as go off on rabbit trails if we saw a place we wanted to visit. There is a really neat flag store across from Betsy Ross that is definitely worth checking out. I will search for these tours in every other city we visit.

Fantastic experience

Perfect walking tour! I definitely recommend!

Published on Sep, 2024

The walking tour was amazing! I went on my own, found everything very easily and loved the stories and facts! This way of sightseeing lets you walk your own pace, make as many or few stops as you want and you can listen to the audio several times. I only had a day in Philadelphia and the tour brought me to all the right places! Thank you, Greg!
