Highlights
- ✓This small-group tour offers sightseeing on a personal scale
- ✓See some of the best examples of Philadelphia’s public artworks
- ✓Head off the tourist trail when you explore two South Philly neighborhoods
- ✓A portion of the ticket cost benefits local arts organizations
What you'll see & do
- ✓Meet your guide outside this iconic local concert venue and hear how it has played such a huge role in the counterculture spirit of South Street
- ✓A vital commercial and artistic artery of South Philly, South Street has been at the forefront of this city’s counterculture scene for generations. Your guide will lead you past an array of locally-owned art galleries and shops, pointing out decorative facades and giving you fascinating morsels of history along the way
- ✓This community-based art organization has been a staple in this neighborhood since the 1930’s.

Guests can view its current exhibits while learning about its past efforts and future goals. Proceeds of your ticket will be donated to DVAA
- ✓Throughout your tour, you'll weave in and out of the streets and alleys of Bella Vista, the neighborhood surrounding the Italian Market and Magic Gardens. Here, you'll see how Philadelphia's first suburb has changed in the last 200+ years, including beautiful homes, gardens, and public art.
- ✓Queen Village is a charming neighborhood in Philadelphia known for its historic charm, cobblestone streets, and quaint atmosphere. Located just south of Center City, it offers a mix of historic row houses, trendy shops, cozy cafes, and vibrant community parks, making it a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.
- ✓Zagar’s masterpiece, a once-barren abandoned lot on South Street transformed it into a mind-bending labyrinth of glass, tile, paint and almost everything else under the sun. This is something that must be seen to be believed, and you will be granted free admission into the Gardens at the end of this tour.
