4.Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 27 reviews · 3 hours · from $35

Meet outside TD Bank on Walnut Street for a three-hour Philadelphia bar crawl led by an English-speaking local guide. You’ll visit four or five Center City stops, including a speakeasy-style bar, with about 35 minutes at several venues. Drinks are extra, but line skipping, no covers, a liquor tasting, and bar recommendations are included.

“Considering there were only four of us on this tour, I had higher expectations. Our guide had nothing noteworthy to say about any of our spots. It was, “we’re here”, “this is a gay bar”… Google’s search results for “cool bars near me” was a better tour without the ticket price.”
