I was born and raised in the neighborhood of Fairmount where these attractions are located. I have a unique and local perspective of these destinations and love to educate visitors on this area of Philadelphia. On this tour we will not not only visit the Eastern State Penitentiary and Philadelphia Art museum we will also visit the beautiful banks of the Skuylkill River. This tour will include a light lunch consisting of some of Philly's highest quality charcuterie, served on our private patio 2 blocks from the Eastern State Penitentiary. Additional food options can be requested!
This is not a pub crawl but rather a tour of Philadelphia's brewing history that includes tasting beers at some of our local craft breweries. We'll taste at least 4 different local beers on this tour. We'll start strong on the history and finish strong on the beer, but we'll space out the beers to make sure of a safe experience for all. Along the way we'll drink where the local beer fanatics drink. You'll leave knowing more about beer, history, and Philadelphia.
