Itinerary
This itinerary is the starting point for your tour, but it’s not set in stone. If there are days you would like to change, or specific places you’d like to go, we can work with you to create a personalized program that fits the needs of you and your students.
Day 1: Philadelphia
Arrive in Philadelphia and meet your ACIS Tour Manager before heading to the new Museum of the American Revolution. Whether you are interested in understanding how people turned to become Revolutionaries, how the ideas of independence and liberty emerged through the years of battle or excited to see the tent that General Washington occupied as he moved from one war site to another between 1775 and 1783, there is something for everyone from this amazing time in history. Return to the hotel to freshen up, then transfer to the riverfront for a dinner and dance cruise on the Delaware River.
Day 2: Philadelphia
After breakfast, transfer to Independence National Historical Park to visit the iconic Liberty Bell and see its well-known crack first-hand. After, tour Independence Hall where the Second Continental Congress met to debate and ratify the Declaration of Independence. Following lunch, board your bus and depart for Valley Forge. Begin your visit with a short film at the Valley Forge National Historical Park Visitor Center, then tour the site of the encampments where the American forces became a true fighting unit. Before you leave, you will walk through the house that George Washington occupied during the harsh winter of 1777-1778. After dinner head to the grounds outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you can ascend the 72 “Rocky Steps” for a view of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and the chance to take a selfie with Rocky Balboa himself.
Day 3: Departure
This morning we visit the African American Museum in Philadelphia, the first institution built by a major United States city to house exhibits for and interpret the life and work of African Americans. Alternatively, visit the Independence Seaport Museum to learn about the maritime history of Philadelphia. After lunch on your own in the historic district, board your bus and depart for home.
