What you'll see and do
Elfreth's Alley
Elfreth’s Alley is one of the oldest continuously inhabited residential streets in the United States. Dating back to 1703, this charming cobblestone lane is lined with 32 historic brick houses built between the 18th and 19th centuries. In colonial times, artisans such as shoemakers, tailors, cabinet makers, and shopkeepers lived and worked here. Walking through the alley feels like stepping into everyday Philadelphia from more than 300 years ago, with colorful doors, flower boxes, shutters, and beautiful old brickwork all around you.

Betsy Ross House
Where the first flag was mThe Betsy Ross House takes visitors back to the streets of Revolutionary Philadelphia. This is the home where Betsy Ross is believed to have lived and worked as an upholsterer when she made the first American flag. The story is part history, part American legend—and that is exactly what makes this small colonial house so memorable. Inside, guests can imagine the life of a working woman in the 1770s, surrounded by the sounds, crafts, and tensions of a city on the edge of revolution.
10 minutes here
Girard Fountain Park is a small, peaceful green corner in the middle of Old City. It is a great place to slow down for a moment, enjoy the fountain, and see the bronze sculpture of Benjamin Franklin called Keys to Community. The park sits in one of Philadelphia’s oldest neighborhoods, surrounded by the stories of the Revolution. It is a charming hidden stop that connects Franklin’s legacy with the everyday life of modern Philadelphia
10 minutes here
United States Mint
The United States Mint is where American money becomes real. Philadelphia was home to the first U.S. Mint, established in 1792, and the city remains one of the most important places in the story of American coins. On a visit, guests can learn how coins are designed, made, inspected, and prepared for circulation—and may even see production from above. It is a surprising stop because it combines the history of the young United States with modern technology and millions of coins

Benjamin Franklin's Grave
Benjamin Franklin’s Grave is one of the most personal and meaningful places in Philadelphia. Franklin was a printer, inventor, scientist, diplomat, and one of America’s most influential Founding Fathers—and he is buried here with his wife, Deborah. Visitors often leave pennies on his grave, inspired by Franklin’s famous saying: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” This quiet cemetery also holds the graves of other important early American figures, including several signers of the Declaration of Independence.
10 minutes here
Liberty Bell Center
The Liberty Bell is one of the most famous symbols of freedom in the world. Its famous crack makes it instantly recognizable, but its real power comes from the message written on it: “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land.” Originally made for the Pennsylvania State House, today’s Independence Hall, the bell later became a powerful symbol for abolitionists, civil-rights activists, and people fighting for freedom. Seeing it in person feels like standing in front of a small object with an enormous story
5 minutes here
Independence Hall
Independence Hall is one of the most important buildings in American history. This is where the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution were debated and signed. In these rooms, colonial leaders made decisions that changed not only America, but the world’s ideas about democracy, rights, and government. It is not just an old building—it is the place where the American experiment truly began.
10 minutes here
Carpenters' Hall
Carpenters’ Hall is a beautiful historic building with a major role in the road to American independence. In 1774, it hosted the First Continental Congress, when delegates from 12 colonies came together to respond to British rule. Before the Declaration of Independence, this was where the colonies began to act as one group. The building also welcomed important institutions connected with Benjamin Franklin, early American science, banking, and public life.
5 minutes here
Benjamin Rush Garden
Benjamin Rush Garden is a quiet oasis with a powerful story behind it. The garden stands on the former site of the home of Dr. Benjamin Rush, a physician, civic leader, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Rush is often called one of the founders of American psychiatry, but he was also deeply involved in the fight for independence and the life of early Philadelphia. Today, the garden is a relaxing place to pause between big historic landmarks and discover one of the Revolution’s less-famous but fascinating figures.
10 minutes here
Welcome Park
Welcome Park is a small historic park dedicated to William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania. It stands on the site of the Slate Roof House, where Penn lived in Philadelphia from 1699 to 1701. The park is named after the ship Welcome, which brought Penn and many Quakers to America. Guests can see a model of the house, a statue of William Penn, and a marble map showing his original plan for Philadelphia. It is a wonderful place to understand how the city was designed and why Philadelphia became known as a city built around ideas of freedom and religious tolerance.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Philadelphia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Philadelphia is not rushed.
Is 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Philadelphia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Philadelphia and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Philadelphia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Philadelphia?
+
Philadelphia's core is walkable: Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell need timed entry, the mural arts programme runs the largest public art collection in the country, and the Reading Terminal and Italian Market food walks fill the middle of the day. Outty Ranking favours operators who secure Independence Hall tickets rather than sending you to the visitor centre queue. On Outty we rank every Philadelphia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia, Dark Philly Adult Night Tour, Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour with 10+ Top Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Philadelphia?
+
April to June and September to October, mild weather and open patios. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Philadelphia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall?
+
Included: a printed list of recommendations. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall?
+
The guide will be standing with a YELLOW umbrella at Dolly Ottey Park to the RIGHT of the entrance of Elfreth's Alley. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 90-Min Hamilton Tour Liberty Bell and Independence Hall?
+

If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
