What you'll see and do
Flying Fish Brewing Company
This is a sample itinerary. All schedules are subject to change. This award-winning brewery is the largest producer in South Jersey. Just a stone’s throw away from Old City Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell, it’s a must-visit for any thirsty beer enthusiast in the Philly area. And here’s a fun fact: Flying Fish was the FIRST virtual brewery back in 1995 (yes, the 90s!) with its very own website, making it a true pioneer in the beer space. The key words when describing Flying Fish beers are “balance” and “sustainability”. Their beers are full-flavored yet highly drinkable, and they’re still innovating to this day with their brand new canning and bottling operation, where our guides will walk you through the brewing process from ingredients to your glass. Join us on a behind the scenes look at this state of the art brewery complex that’s crafting some the most sustainable beer in the nation!

Double Nickel Brewing Co
Unlike many of the local Philadelphia area breweries, steeped in rich traditions that span decades, Double Nickel is the result of Head Brewer and Co-Founder, Drew Perry’s, hard work and commitment to the crafts. Drew has been brewing beer his whole professional life, working his way from the packaging line to head brewer. But the dream was always the same: to return to New Jersey and start his own brewery. After tireless hours brewing and carefully cultivating flavors, he made that dream a reality when he transformed a defunct fitness and spa center into 22,000 square feet of beer producing behemoth.

Yards Brewing Company
Founded upon humble beginnings in 1995 in a 900-square foot facility in Manayunk, Yards Brewing Company has grown into one of the area’s most prolific breweries, churning out some of the most popular and widely distributed beers in Philly. Since it’s inception, Yards Brewing Company has relocated three times and now proudly overlooks the Delaware River in Penn’s Landing. Their nod toward English ales is deeply rooted in history and blends colonial traditions with modern day flavors to produce beers fit for the founding fathers. A must-stop for learning about the progression of colonial beer as you sip presidential flights in a rich, historic city.

This was the first thing that I did when I arrived in Philly and it was a perfect way to kick off my trip! Tim was a fantastic guide and picked stops based on what the group liked. He was full of information but also just a fun person. It was a smaller group, and by the end of the evening it sort of just felt like we were all hanging out. Please note - I took the tour on a Wednesday, and it started at 5:30, NOT 4:45 as it states on Viator. I called the contact number because I thought I was lost, the person I spoke with said that the tours on weekends start at 4:45 and during the week start at 5:30.

Sam was great
Went to three different breweries and Sam showed us around and had a good time. He was very knowledgeable. Would recommend this to somebody and take them on it. Also found out that they do stuff for special celebrations like anniversaries or wedding gifts.

Fantastic tour led by knowledgeable staff!
We had a fantastic tour. A christmas present from 2023, we finally got it on our schedule. As we sought to schedule and re-schedule, the franchise owner was extremely accommodating. He ended up being our guide on our tour today. Darren is extremely knowledgeable about the process and history of brewing. Had a fantastic time.

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $105 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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 32 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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Around 11 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour 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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Snacks; Round trip transportation; and Local expert beer guide. Not included: Hotel pick up and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
We pick you up next to the valet parking area at the Marriott Downtown directly across the street from Maggiano's restaurant. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour 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 Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Philly Signature Guided Brewery Tour?
+
Across 32 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
