There’s so much more to Philadelphia than American history - some of the most incredible public art is on display when you venture into South Philly! On this tour, you’ll head into the heart of the Queen Village and Bella Vista neighborhoods to explore beautiful and surprising pieces of public art, including breathtaking murals and mind-bending mosaics. As you hear the history of the pieces you see, you’ll come to appreciate how public art and creators are intertwined and appreciated by the neighborhoods that they call home, and how amazingly accessible art is throughout a major city like Philadelphia. After exploring the street art and a gallery or two, your tour concludes at the incredible Magic Gardens - one of the most impressive and fantastical works of art and sculpture you’ll ever see! Part of your ticket price also includes a donation to a local organization supporting artists in the city, so you’ll be directly impacting the incredible community highlighted on this tour!

Great tour. Miriam was so amazing!! We saw a lot of Zagaars work which was beautiful. Definitely hidden gems which you won’t find unless you are a local. We also stopped at a few artistic shops and stores which was interesting too.
Lastly, we were lucky to have met Zagaars son himself and heard about Zagaar from him! Always interesting to hear the story from the source.
Book the tour, you won’t regret it!

The South Philly Art Tour was a wonderful opportunity to get aware of all the art you can find everywhere around the streets of south Philly. Thanks to Chuck I now see murals and spot alleys otherwise just overseen. Not to forget some facts and narratives about the artists and the history of Philly. Good to attend at the start of your trip to have time to appreciate all the recommendations.

I was a solo traveller and wanted to explore the South district, and was curious about the murals and Mozaics on the walls. My tour guide : James is a history professor and gave very clear and detailed explanations on the art, history and made the tour very enjoyable. It was definitely an afternoon worth spending.

A really amazing way to see different neighborhoods in S Philly. Our guide, Chuck, was enthusiastic, kind, knowledgeable, immersed in the culture and smart! I would recommend that the weather be close to perfect. It was cold and windy and small glimpses of sun. Got cold. There was a lot of standing around and talking which we think could have been done while walking to avoid "just standing there". But all in all - educational. Fun. Diverse. And we are SO happy we got tickets!
