You don’t want to tour Philadelphia like a school field trip, don’t you? With our private tours in Phillycity, you get the option to choose your own itineraries.
We believe seeing Philadelphia should feel personal, like a local showing you around, not like a slideshow on wheels. That’s why we created a completely different kind of experience. With our private vintage carts, you're not just touring the city, you’re living it.
Why We Chose Vintage Carts (And Why You'll Be Glad We Did)?
We actually started our journey with the DC Monuments Tour, and people loved our vintage EV carts so much. This year, we were the first company to participate in the 4th of July Parade in Washington, DC. Little did we know that we wanted to serve the exact experience in Philly as well.
Our vintage carts look like the good old days vehicles, and they carry a Victorian era resemblance. They're quiet, cozy, and compact, letting us go where big buses can’t and sparking smiles everywhere we roll.
These carts aren’t just cute, but they’re functional. Because they run on electricity, there’s no engine noise or exhaust. That means you can actually hear your guide talk and hold a conversation without shouting. More importantly, you can focus on what matters—soaking in the real spirit of Philly.
Two Carts, Two Vibes: Which One’s Yours?
We offer two options for our vintage carts for private tours—both comfortable, stylish, and ready to roll through the city.
The Private 4 Seater Tour in Philadelphia
Perfect for couples, small families, or intimate groups. This option gives you privacy and quiet moments to really take it all in. Just last week, a couple from Chicago booked our 4 seater private ride for their cute anniversary date night.
The Private 7 Seater Tour in Phillycity
Planning a celebration, family gathering, or fun day out with friends? This one keeps the whole crew together. There's a different energy when everyone shares the ride, laughs at the same jokes, and discovers hidden Philly gems side-by-side. Our 7-seater cart brings that sense of connection—and some serious photo ops too.
No matter which cart you choose, you’ll get the same level of comfort, safety, and flexibility that Philly City Tours is known for.
It’s Your Tour—So You Decide Where It Starts and Ends
Most tours tell you when and where to meet. But with our private tours in Philadelphia, this becomes your decision. Why should you have to go out of your way before your tour even starts?
With us, we meet you where it’s convenient. Staying at the Logan Hotel? We’ll swing by. Grabbing a coffee at Elixr before your tour? Perfect spot to begin. Want to end near Rittenhouse Square for dinner reservations? Just say the word.
We’ve designed our service around your day, not ours. That flexibility has become our signature, and it’s something our guests mention again and again in their feedback.
Day Tours vs Night Tours: The City Has Two Personalities
Daytime in Philly has a certain kind of chaos, in a good way. Food vendors. Honking taxis. Locals on lunch break. Lots of energy.
And during the night? A whole different feeling.
Cobblestone streets get quieter. Historic buildings light up. Independence Hall looks magical under that glow. It’s softer, slower, and more romantic. We get a lot of date night bookings for night rides, and it makes sense. You see Philly differently when the lights are low.
Whether it’s bright daylight or golden-hour magic, our vintage carts for private tours are ready for both.
You Get Local Guides As Your Cart Driver
Let’s talk about your guide for a second. They can make or break your experience.
At Philly City Tours, we don’t hire script-readers. We hire storytellers, locals who actually like people and love this city.
Like Maria. She grew up in South Philly and will straight-up give you the real history behind the Italian Market and still tell you which cheesesteak is worth the calories.
Or James. Moved here 15 years ago and started reading up on colonial architecture “for fun.” His tours are like walking through time, without the museum voice.
You’re not just hearing facts. You’re hearing Philly—raw, weird, real Philly—through the people who live it.
Celebrating Something? You Can Make It More Special With Our Vintage EV Carts
We’ve done proposal tours, birthday rides, graduation hangs, and even one retirement celebration where the guy requested we loop by his old office just so he could flip it off one last time. We respect that.
Want us to decorate the cart? Tell us. Got a surprise planned? We’ll help keep the secret. We’ve even hidden birthday cakes under the seats (true story).
When you book with Philly City Tours, your special occasion becomes our special occasion.
With Philly City Tours, You’ll Feel The Real Old School Vibe Of Philadelphia
We’re not trying to sell you a shiny brochure version of the city. That’s not Philly. And that’s not us.
We want you to feel something—like the city was alive around you. We want you to discover that side alley with the mural you never expected. To laugh with your guide. To hear stories you’ll remember when you’re back home.
Whether you’re a couple on a weekend trip or a whole family looking to ride together, our private vintage carts give you the experience you want. No strangers. No pressure. Just you and Philly.
