Join us on an unforgettable one-hour evening electric cart tour of Philadelphia, where you will learn about our amazing history and culture while seeing our city lit up at night. 

Our Philly tour begins in Old City, where you’ll marvel at the architectural wonders of Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell Center, symbols of America’s founding. Pass by the grave of beloved Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, and catch a glimpse of the US Mint, where many of our nation’s coins are made. 

From Old City, our electric cart tour will then venture through vibrant Chinatown, with its endless shops, markets, and restaurants. In the heart of this always bustling neighborhood stands the majestic Friendship Arch, all aglow in the evening. 

Your tour guide and driver will then cruise past towering City Hall, with its massive glowing clock and a tall statue of William Penn on top. Marvel at this piece of 19th-century architecture, then glance across the street to view the famous LOVE statue, with its unmistakable large red letters with the Philly skyline behind. 

An evening drive up Ben Franklin Parkway will feature several stunning museums all lit up, like the Barnes Foundation, the Franklin Institute of Science, the Rodin Museum (with the Thinker), and of course the Philadelphia Museum of Art. While at this world-renowned art museum, we’ll have a chance to pause our Philly sightseeing tour so you can climb the iconic Rocky Steps at night, without the daytime crowds, and take in one of the most spectacular views of the city. Standing triumphantly next to the steps is the Rocky Statue, silhouetted by spotlight. 

Cruise past the imposing Eastern State Penitentiary before enjoying beautiful and picturesque Rittenhouse and Washington Squares. Head through Center City into charming and historic Society Hill before returning to the ending location in Old CIty.
