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.
We will stop outside the Betsy Ross house and hear the story of how Betsy Ross met with George Washington and designed the American flag. It's pretty amazing! And the music is great.
We will stop at Benjamin Franklin's grave and discover his story of how he played a pivotal role in the revolution partnering with French. This guy was electric!
We will stop outside of the Synagogue known as the "Synagogue of the Revolution" and learn the story of Haym Solomon, the financier of the Revolution. Fun story, and great music!
The first president's house! This is where George Washington lived. George Washington had many nicknames, one of those was "Town Killer", I bet you won't learn that on the other tours! Learn the secrets of the rebels on our tour, the Rebels of the Revolution on WalknTours.
This bell has been around a long time. During the Revolution it was hid in Allentown. And it became a symbol of liberty AFTER the revolution. See the bell, for free!
Its name Independence Hall came from the French general the Marquis de Lafayette. When he visited the state house he called it the “Hall of Independence.” This was the house of the rebels, In its halls the founding fathers debated and adopted the declaration of independence and the United States constitution. If you want to go in you'll have to book a ticket. Our tour only goes outside.
The statue in the center is the signer statue and recognizes the spirit and the risks the rebels of the American colonies took when they signed the declaration of independence. The statue is of George Clymer, a local merchant and politician. There are many rebels you'll learn about on this tour! And they are epppiiiicccc!
Carpenters’ hall was built for and still owned by the Carpenters company of Philadelphia, the country’s oldest craft guild. And it’s known as the “Birthplace of Liberty” And it's free! We will stop here and hear the story of when the Rebels met here and boycotted the British. And Quebec almost became one of the original colonies! Amazing! Crazy! You won't learn that on other tours. Learn more here!
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!
See where Hamilton once lived! And of interesting note, it was in this house that the scandalous affair with Maria Reynolds occurred, that ended his career.
This is the spot the founding fathers feasted. And where this rebel tour end.
