Landmarks Tours
Guided Architecture Walking Tours of Philadelphia & the Region
Becoming
a Landmarks Tours Volunteer Tour Guide
Landmarks TOURS are led by a dedicated group of
trained volunteers. Guides come from many walks of life and professions.
They are business people, teachers, lawyers, engineers and people with many
other life and career experiences. A few are even architects although
such professional training is by no means a requirement for becoming a volunteer
tour guide.
What unites the volunteer guides of Landmarks
TOURS is their passion for interpreting the entire Philadelphia region through its rich
architectural heritage and a desire to share their knowledge with out-of-town
visitors and local residents alike. If this describes you, consider
becoming a volunteer guide.
Training of new guides is conducted annually in conjunction with the Philadelphia Architecture Lecture
Series, usually offered January through March. Guide Trainees are
required to attend this weekly lecture series, as well as four to five workshop
sessions, held on Saturday mornings.
No previous knowledge
of architecture or Philadelphia history is necessary - we provide
it all!
