There’s so much more to Philadelphia than American history - some of the most incredible public art is on display when you venture into South Philly! On this tour, you’ll head into the heart of the Queen Village and Bella Vista neighborhoods to explore beautiful and surprising pieces of public art, including breathtaking murals and mind-bending mosaics. As you hear the history of the pieces you see, you’ll come to appreciate how public art and creators are intertwined and appreciated by the neighborhoods that they call home, and how amazingly accessible art is throughout a major city like Philadelphia. After exploring the street art and a gallery or two, your tour concludes at the incredible Magic Gardens - one of the most impressive and fantastical works of art and sculpture you’ll ever see! Part of your ticket price also includes a donation to a local organization supporting artists in the city, so you’ll be directly impacting the incredible community highlighted on this tour!

Tom was a great tour guide! I really enjoyed learning about all the amazing art in South Philly. The magic gardens truly were magical and learning the history behind the murals was really interesting.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Adam was exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging. Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive because I saw South Philly in the title, but this tour was very safe. The neighborhoods are rich with history and culture. Truly a great tour to experience.

Very fun & informative tour. Murals, mosaics, & gorilla art were plentiful. I particularly enjoyed the tour guide’s (Dick Furstein’s) skill at keeping the conversation clear, interesting, & lively. Dick was well-versed in history & it was no surprise that he was a former English teacher & studied Anthropology in college.
