ABOUT US
Centipede Tours began as a walking tour company in 1974 in anticipation of our nation's Bicentennial celebration in 1976. Legend has it that there were fifty guides which equaled 100 feet which equaled... Centipede! Forty-three years later the tradition continues: Centipede has evolved into a multi-service receptive tour operator and destination management company.
We provide professionally trained guides dressed in colonial costumes. Your guide will give you the facts, of course, but also the myths, legends - and scandals - that will make your visit a memorable one.
We can arrange all of your destination needs... everything from step-on guides to one-day or multi-day itineraries, hotel accommodations, attractions, meals, ground transportation, entertainment options and more. Contact Centipede Tours for one stop shopping and leave your worries at home. Multilingual guides are also available for international visitors.
Our company invites you to stroll with us along the weathered cobblestones as you discover the highlights of the Nation's revolutionary past. Or, come along with us and explore the city's more contemporary venues. Or, discover the rich tapestry of attractions available beyond the city's limit. Choose from a variety of popular options or let us design a tour specifically for your group. From school groups to seniors, religious groups to family reunions, convention and meeting attendees as well as alumni associations and VIPs... we can't wait to show you Philadelphia and Its Countryside!
