Fantastic night out!
This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. D was our tour guide and he was amazing! Knew all the spots to be, was super friendly and there was never a dull minute! I highly recommend.

Good times!
A fun time. Our guide, Greg, obviously loves the city he is representing. Wish we had known that for one of the bars that food would be available for purchase. We ate before the tour because that information was omitted.

We had a 7pm tour. No one...
We had a 7pm tour. No one showed up. We called and were told the time had changed to 4pm. We did not get any communication about the time change.. We saw just 3 bars. Tour guide did not go with us to 4th destination. He provided an address with no further instructions. When we got there, the place was locked. If it’s a secret bar… how does one find it without a guide? Disappointed with communication and interaction with our guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the miscommunication regarding your tour time and the issues you experienced at the final stop. Because you were the only guest booked for that time slot, our team attempted to adjust the schedule to offer a livelier group experience at 4 PM. While our guide was happy to extend their shift to accommodate your 7 PM slot, clear communication should always come first, and we regret that our notifications failed to reach you properly. We are addressing this internally so schedule updates are communicated seamlessly. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for the smooth, 5-star experience you deserve.

Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia?
+
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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia?
+
Around 27 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia 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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia?
+
Included: One Shot of Tequila; No Covers; and Line skipping and seating. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia?
+
We will meet at TD Bank. There several parking lots located on chancellor street. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. 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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia?
+
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 Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia if the weather is bad?
+
