The city of Philadelphia has always been a commercial, educational, and cultural center. As one of the original thirteen American colonies, Philadelphia was the second-largest city in the British Empire (after London). Today, historic Philadelphia buzzes with restaurants, galleries and museums. The city boasts one of the best collections of public art in the country and the world’s largest municipal park.

Philadelphia falls in the northern periphery of the humid subtropical climate zone. Summers are typically hot and muggy, fall and spring are generally mild, and winter is cold.

Smithsonian Student Travel offers two tour-pricing options to best fit your group's needs:

  • Private tour
    Private tours are the best option for class trips and groups of 20 or more. A private tour allows your group to travel on your own private bus with a dedicated tour director. This option provides itinerary flexibility and gives your group more freedom to customize your tour. Any group with 35 paying participants or more is automatically considered a private group.
  • Consolidated tour
    Consolidated tours allow small groups to be combined with other groups, assuring that your class trip is affordable for everyone. Consolidated groups travel together, sharing a bus and a tour director. The program fee for this option is the same regardless of the number of paying participants on the tour.




Please note that this quote will provide pricing for a consolidated tour of any group size or a private tour with 35 paying participants. To obtain pricing for a private group of a different size, please contact us at 1-800-503-2323.
