Tippler's Tour Guided Tours

This weekly tour takes visitors on an adventure into the heart of Colonial Philadelphia's pub culture with stops at three modern day watering holes and one Colonial tavern. Along the way, visitors will indulge in a sip of history while enjoying drinks and snacks at all four stops. It's 1777 and the British are occupying Philadelphia...will there be holiday celebrations during this tumultuous time? Step with us into the holiday season in charming Old City, circa 1777, whilst enjoying winter brews and festive libations. December 5, 12, 19 & 26: Thursdays, 5:30 pm. Tours depart from the Betsy Ross House, 239 Arch Street.
