Exploring Philly with Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours



All aboard the big red double-decker bus to tour the City of Brotherly Love!
Did we sit up top with the sun on our faces and the wind in our hair?
You bet! Is there any other way?

Our day of exploration was courtesy of Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours!
This hop on/hop off bus with tour guide narration was really the way to go!

Join me and I'll show you some of the highlights!




We began at the Bourse, first of 27 stops.



Who can visit Philly without seeing the Liberty Bell?



Another grand Philadelphia landmark: Independence Hall.



Loved having my nieces & nephews join us that day!
We love the Bishop family!

The Philadelphia Museum of Art



That famous Rocky statue - who can resist a photo shoot?



The sleek and stylish Art Deco front of Suburban Station



Ben Franklin organized America's first post office!
He was our first Postmaster General and had his face on our first stamp!



Here's the Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours' website.

Vintage Travel Posters ~ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

adobeinnatcascade


Whether by train, plane, or bus, as these vintage travel posters advertise,
(or even by car!), each and every American history buff should travel to
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
Its many historical attractions, including Independence Hall,
the Constitution Center, the Betsy Ross House, and the Liberty Bell,
draw folks in from across the country to find out just why Philly is known as
"The Cradle of Liberty" and "The Birthplace of America!"

And yes, I'll admit I'm partial to this great city
in my very own neck of the woods.
Come visit Philadelphia and see for yourself!
