This is the shortlist we would send a friend, the 7 evening experiences worth booking, each with its price, its traveller verdict, and the one thing to know before you commit.
A 2-hour adult walking tour through Philadelphia’s darkest sides, mixing founding-era history, ghost lore, and R-rated stories for $38.
“Was rather disappointed in the tour. It isn't as spooky or dark as they lead you to believe. Don't waste your money.”
A 90-minute double-decker night bus loop through Philadelphia’s biggest landmarks, with live narration and a Rocky Steps photo stop.
“A little hard to see and even tracking which building is which in the dark is difficult with so many descriptions. Was a nice night so good to tour the town. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. There is no place at all to go to the restroom on the trip, so plan well.”
Philly By Night double-decker tour: Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and Rocky Steps photos from the top. 90 minutes.
“The tour guide was excellent and the driver made us feel safe the entire time.”
Lancaster ghost stories by candlelight. A 90-minute lantern walk through 300 years of haunting folklore in downtown Lancaster. $28.
“even though it was raining miserably out, our guide Randy made it such a fun adventure for all. Would definitely recommend to everyone!”
See Philadelphia’s top sights on a 1-hour evening electric cart tour, including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and Rocky Steps.
“If you’re visiting Philadelphia and want a truly unique and memorable experience, I cannot recommend the electric car nighttime tour with “D” enough! From the moment we met “D,” it was clear we were in great hands. Warm, welcoming, and brimming with local knowledge, “D” brought Philly’s rich history and culture to life in a way that was engaging, informative, and fun. You could tell instantly that they love this city. The electric car itself was super comfortable and perfect for zipping through the city streets after dark. It felt like a VIP experience, intimate and personalized, nothing like those big, crowded tour buses. The quiet ride also made it…”
Ride Philadelphia in an electric Model-T, see Independence Hall, Liberty Bell, Rocky Steps, and memorials, then roll through Chinatown and South Street.
“Anthony was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the city and historical sites. The tour group size of seven was too large for the 3-seat electric cart. It was difficult to get in and out of the vehicle at the various tour stops.”
Hop-on Hop-off Philadelphia by day plus Philly by Night. Open-top double-decker buses, live commentary, 27 stops, and illuminated sights.
“We love the Hop on and Hop off tours. We always ride it around once and decide what to see the next time around. Guides are knowledgeable and give tons of information about the city. We were so tired and did not do the night tour. Our only complaint is the wait time between tours.”
