Philadelphia Private Tours and Philadelphia Small Group Tours

Philadelphia Private Tours and Experiences Hosted by Local Experts

With an array of scholars and experts working for Context in Philadelphia, our private and small group guided tours here cover a wide range of topics. One of our favorite eclectic tours is the "Hammer to the Head" History of Medicine Tour of Philadelphia. Did you know that medical history in the New World was made here? From the sordid details of early medical experiments, to advancements that saved lives worldwide, to a trip into the Mütter Museum, a former physician's college that now holds medical oddities, this private tour examines medical history with an intellectually curious bent. We also recommend nerding out on one of America's best art museums on our Philadelphia Museum of Art Tour. And when we're hungry? We head down to the Italian Market for our Philadelphia Food Tour, which looks not only at the legacy of Italian-Americans in the Italian Market, but newer culinary entrants like pho, tacos, and more.

We had the absolute BEST tour with John! I lived in Philadelphia for a few years and John took us to places I had never experienced. I loved learning about history from a different angle, and especially enjoyed our time in Elfreth's Alley and Christ Church. We would do the tour again in a heart beat! Highly recommend for anyone- even those who live in the city and want to do something different. Thank you, John, for an incredible day in the city!
She was great. It was just too hot to be outside so we rushed her through it.
We had an amazing tour of Philadelphia with Tish as our guide! She was incredibly knowledgeable about the city's history, sharing fascinating insights and stories at every stop. Despite the rainy weather, Tish skillfully adjusted the tour to keep us dry and comfortable. Her thoughtfulness and dedication truly enhanced our experience. We highly recommend Tish to anyone looking to explore Philadelphia!
