About This Tour

Come with us to the birthplace of America, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and celebrate America’s 250th anniversary as a nation! On our first day, we will receive a guided trolley tour of Valley Forge National Historical Park, where the fortunes of the Continental Army and our nation changed in the Revolutionary War. That evening, we will head over to Angelo’s for Philadelphia’s highest-rated cheesesteak sandwich! Our entire second day will be spent on the Independence Mall, “America’s most historic square mile”, where we will visit the inspiring National Constitution Center, stand in the very room where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and explore the Museum of the American Revolution. We will cap off this wonderful day with an evening patriotic concert right on the Mall by the United States Army Field Band & Soldiers’ Chorus. On our third day, we will go to the Salute to Independence Semiquincentennial Parade right in the heart of Philadelphia, before we stop at a few famous Philadelphia sites and dine at the jaw-dropping Reading Terminal Market. Join us in Philadelphia for a once-in-a-generation celebration of America’s 250th birthday!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a great tour! It was a good length of time, the driver and guide both did a great job. They were ready for pick up when they said they would be. The bus was clean and comfortable. It was also a nice blend of being driven and walking.

 Verified Great city tour!
This tour was a great way to see city highlights. The meeting point was next to the Omni (where we are staying) . The driver and guide were excellent and the bus very comfortable. We stopped a few times to get out and look around. The first stop was near bakeries, so if you need a snack get it on the first stop! We went to an Italian bakery and took dessert home to our hotel. We’d recommend this to others visiting the area!

 Verified A Perfect Little Day Trip
Rhode Island might be the smallest state in the US, but thanks to our guide Jon this was officially the smallest biggest tour! His local pride and massive knowledge proved that the best things really do come in small packages!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Experience RI was absolutely fantastic for our wedding transportation. From start to finish, they made everything easy, stress‑free, and incredibly budget‑friendly — which we deeply appreciated during wedding planning.

Our driver was punctual, professional, and so friendly, helping the day run smoothly without a single hiccup. And Buddy, who handled all of our booking details, was truly exceptional. He was responsive, patient, and on top of every question and adjustment we threw his way.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for reliable, friendly, and affordable wedding transportation, Experience RI is the team you want.

 Verified Great history of Rhode Island
Clearer instructions exactly where to meet. I didn't know there was a sign on the sidewalk to designate where to meet the tour. John was our tour guide. He was very informative with lots of history and personal experiences in the area. John was helpful in suggesting other areas to visit & he recommended places to eat. Our group enjoyed the tour very much

 Verified Far better than competition
Our guide was Phil and he was excellent. Very informative and packed a lot of sightseeing and very interesting talks into the nearly two hour tour in a large air conditioned van with 23 other people. Went on a tour by a competitor (Providence East Side Sights and Stories Guided Tour) the day before and there is no comparison. This was hands down better in all respects.

 Verified Excellent tour, guide, and education!
This was a great experience. We were able to see a lot of RI, learn about the history, culture and landscape while relaxing and letting someone else drive. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable. There were many stops on the way to take photos and tour around, so it never felt like we missed anything. I highly recommend this tour!
