Description
If Walls Could Talk! Join Wolf's for a trip to Philadelphia for a fascinating behind-the-walls guided tour of Eastern State Penitentiary, experience an unusual and entertaining Ghost Tour as you walk along the streets of Independence Park and Society Hill. Following a short coffee stop along the way, you arrive in Philadelphia at the Eastern State Penitentiary, once the most famous and expensive prison in the world. If only the walls could talk…during your guided walking tour of this 19th-century landmark that today stands in ruin, hear the stories about the prison and the inmates from within the mysterious world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. The world's first true penitentiary, its vaulted, skylit cells once held many of America's most notorious criminals including bank robber "Slick Wille" Sutton and Al Capone. Following your walking tour, you will be transported to The Shops at Liberty Place for lunch on your own. Afterwards, you will meet up with your step-on guide for a Ghost Tour of Philadelphia. Known as Philadelphia's most unusual and entertaining walking tour, your guide will lead you through the streets of Independence Park and Society Hill revealing the tales of America's most historic and most haunted city. Enjoy a glimpse of the hidden beauty in the city from the quaint cobblestone streets to English gardens. Some of the stories told involve the likes of Ben Franklin and his first library, Independence Hall, William Penn's plan for a "green country towne" and more. At the conclusion of your walking tour, you board the motorcoach and depart for home with a dinner stop at your expense along the way.
