We create amazing city adventures – in special three-day, four-night packages. And here’s our story twist. To explore with authenticity, you stay at an independent hotel and your small-group guide is right from the neighborhood. Let's make travel experiences more accessible, more affordable, and more fun.
First up? Our country's birth city, of course.

As we march toward our nation’s 250th anniversary, there’s no better city to visit than this American original. And now, there's no better way to soak up its true character.
Sure, we’ll hit colonial streets, historic sites, and celebrated museums. You might even scale the Rocky steps cradling a warm cheesesteak. But your guides toss the standard script and go deeper. They know the cultural hidden gems, neighborhood sweet spots, unsung heroes, secret trails, and insider tales. And they know your small group of 12 is up for the authenticity.

It's simple. Each week in our season we head out with three small groups of 12. First come, first booked. We can also design custom experiences for a full group of 10 or more – corporate teams, nonprofit groups, college mates, big families, civic associations, or club members. We package it up like one unforgettable field trip. It’s all about exploring, sharing, learning, and celebrating ... together.
How you know
If you want to go beyond the sightseeing basics, then you know. If you like to mix in the new, unique, and offbeat. If you're okay with personal storytelling and impromptu moments. If you like to meet new people and learn from others. If you want to see and feel the city from a local perspective. And if you’re caring and cool then we’re talkin’ about you.
How you group
It doesn’t matter if you’re 22, 37, or 54, or if you're a teacher, realtor, analyst, or artist ... you fit. You can join a small group of 12 as a solo adventurer, as a couple, with a few friends, or even as a family (must be age 14+). We’ll assemble groups primarily by age to tailor story stops and activity levels. Our small groups do intermingle at certain points.
How you help
When you book with us, you’re supporting the employment of your guides and their assist team. They get a dynamic first real job experience, and you get a real-life city experience – with a story that starts in the present and is told from the inside out. You'll be introduced to your guide, a city resident, well before your adventure date arrives. Stay tuned for more.

Planning our pilot
We’re currently framing our Philly experience itinerary – which will include sliding into a few great existing tours. Experiences run Wednesday thru Sunday morning on a first come basis. Before our pilot weeks get set, we're spreading the word and seeking your first-look feedback.
