- NOT your typical Philly travel guide // what to do in Philadelphia
We're in Philadelphia, Pa. for a not so typical travel experience. We're going to show you Philly's most notable attractions, but we also want to highlight the weirder, more unique side to this city.
DON'T CLICK THIS: bit.ly/3kMzZDs
Coming soon we'll have more exciting places to show in Philly including a video on Eastern State Penitentiary, and a food tour highlighting some of the most iconic food in the city. We're talking hoagies, cheesesteaks, roast pork, donuts, and a walk through Reading Terminal!
And as promised here are details on the Philly Mural Arts Program (MAP)

The Mutter Museum is the finest example of medical history on display. If you aren’t easily grossed out you can see Albert Einstein’s brain, a 40-lb colon, and actual pressured human faces. The museum helps the public understand the mysteries and beauty of the human body and to appreciate the history of diagnosis and treatment of disease. muttermuseum.org/
Elfreth’s alley is 300 years of history all in one street. This street actually wasn’t included in the original plans for the city, but was instead created as a cart path for merchants to travel as Philly began to grow. It became a national landmark in the 1960s, and is now kind of an outdoor museum. www.elfrethsalley.org/
Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens is the brain child of Isaiah Zagar and is a non-profit museum highlighting the influences of his life. Magic Gardens inspires creativity and community engagement by educating the public about folk, mosaic, and visionary art. www.phillymagicgardens.org/
Candytopia is the closest thing to what's it's like to visit Willy Wonka's factory. The Philadelphia location is one of three locations in the U.S. Tickets can be purchased through their website.

Philly has a number of great piers and waterfront attractions down by the Delaware River. Race Track Pier, Blue Cross RiverRink, Spruce Street Harbor Park and Cherry Street Pier highlight the best spots near Penn's Landing. Visit Philly's webpage for more information. www.visitphilly.com/

Bruh the production value in this video is insane! Criminally underrated channel highlighting a criminally underrated city, you love to see it
Thanks for such kind words. We're growing slowly but surely. It's nice this way to gain people who truly enjoy our content. Philly is definitely underrated for sure! We both love it there.
Honestly, this is the best video of Philly I've seen on TH-cam so far. Great jobs guys
That's high praise! Thank you so much
This video deserves more likes what a great job you both did on this and you made me proud as a Philadephia resident🙌🏽
Thank you so much! We really try and do justice to where we go. Glad it's appreciated by a resident 🙏🏾
Agree.
This is some of the best cinematography I’ve seen in a travel guide.
Wow, that’s high praise!! Thank you so much!
Agree. It was well done.
Thank you
Super cool video, great content & delivery. I look forward to watching where you guys go next!
Thank you for watching!
I’m going to Philly in two days and this definitely helps. Thank you so much!
Hey! Glad you liked it and this can help. Let us know how it goes.
I love everything about this video! It’s informative, fun, graphically engaging and has me excited about visiting Philly.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great time there. We certainly loved it
Beautiful place with great information and nice music in the background. Thanks for sharing.
Than you for watching
Love the cinematography in this video and all the helpful suggestions of places to go. We just thought about planning a road trip from NYC to Philly when we stumbled on your video. Well done, we just subscribed! 😊
Thank you! We still have to make it to NYC. There's just so many options there that we really have to plan it out. Our next two videos should be helpful for your trip too. We're putting together a short video for Eastern State Penitentiary and then another on a Philly food tour.
@@TheDetourDuo Sounds great! We look forward to watching them! and yes, come to NYC though I'm not sure if now is the best time due to covid and the vaccine restrictions but NYC is always a good idea.😊
Yeah that's certainly true, and probably the main reason we haven't put NY in our plans this year
Interesting guide and great cinematography and editing 😁🙌 Subscribed!
Thank you! That really means a lot.
Great vid and production, guys! keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Stumbled on this for our trip for Philly - wuddup Sara! Awesome video :)
Ahh HI KJ! So cool you found us! Hope you have an incredible time in Philly 🎉
Love the production guys! Very entertaining to watch.
Thank you!!
Subscribed because you guys have a great vibe, production was awesome, and I liked that you showed a lot of places and things all the other travel vids Ive watched didnt. 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks Brian! Yeah we're trying to be a little different. No point in showing all the same things that a million other videos have too.
I NEED the playlist!! Great vid!
Thanks. Yeah, I did like the music a lot in this one
You're not the first visitor to say "it kind of reminded me of some parts of London" Love you guys, love your vibe. What you said about Philadelphia (good and bad) made me think I can trust your reviews of other cities!
Thank you! We try to be honest with our thoughts. Of course not everyone is going to like that but that's ok because we're trying to be authentic to ourselves.
It is no accident that Philly reminds visitors of London. Modern Philadelphia was designed by a famous urban architect who grew up in West Philly. His name is Edmund Bacon. One of his children is the actor Kevin Bacon. Edmund was heavily influenced by London.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Bacon_(architect)
I salute you for not mentioning cheesesteaks! It's been done to death. You really covered a lot of ground and everything you mentioned was worth a mention, and will get visitors beyond the usual must-see places. But there's so much more! You could do dozens more sites that are just as interesting.
Agreed. Unfortunately we could only spend a weekend there.
I just found your channel and love the editing and content !!!
Thanks so much! We’re glad you found us!!
+The Detour Duo, first time checking out your channel. Great video. I'm bringing my family to Philly & Hershey Park this August.
That’s awesome! We LOVE Philly!
I really enjoyed this, thanks !
Thanks for watching!
GENE WILDER FOR THE WIN! You can't compete with a classic! HAHA. Lovely video and it was interesting starting with something more dark and then the pretty garden! Didn't know about the graffiti and murals, but they look stunning! Whispering BENCH insane!!!!
Thank you! Classics always win! Yeah we wanted to do something a little bit different. The video we're releasing today is even more dark and eerie, but we felt that one should have it's own video
This is by far the best video I’ve seen of Philadelphia.
Wow. Thank you! That means a lot.
The Rocky scene and music! 🤣🤣🤣 Gene Wilder was the best. Nice video!!
100% agree. Gene Wilder was the best! Thank you, BTW. Thought since we couldn't get to the steps with the concert going on we could try to make it funny. Glad we weren't the only ones laughing at our own joke. 🤣
Nice video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
As always great edits and video! Going to Philly next week!
Have fun! It's a great town. When we were there everyone was saying stay away from North Philly, particularly the Kensington area.
@@TheDetourDuo Thanks for the tip!
it's so entertaining to watch things about my own city, sometimes i find out things i never knew!
Was there anything new to you in this one?
@@TheDetourDuo magic gardens! always wanted to go, never had the chance to though. there's also a bug museum on frankford ave that wasn't included but i think is a great location to visit! very interesting things happen there :)
@@smphia9432 yeah I really wanted to go there but we didn't have the time. It looked really interesting.
So cool! I'm moving here and I'm super excited 😄
We love it there! What area are you moving to?
Great video guys just subscribed.
Thank you!
GOOD WORK GUYS, KEEP UP. Visiting soon. Thanks, Melbourne Australia
thanks! hope you have a blast when you get here. Don't be shy about sharing some good spots in Australia. We might make it there one day!
Great video and I love that you went to the Mutter!
If you ever come back (or anyone who is coming to Philly), take a Mural Arts Tour or find a map of where the murals are, they really are everywhere (but no, not every block). They are also spread throughout the entire city, mostly in neighborhoods. I think my favorite is the collection "Love Letters" by Espo which you can see riding the El to and from West Philly.
Streets Dept is another org that has mural, street art and public art tours as well.
Thanks! Great pointer too. We found a map online and tried to find the ones closer to us. Just didn't realize they were so spread out
I tried to watch a few videos about Philly but this one caught me in it's entirety.
🙌🏿 glad you enjoyed it. Certainly was fun to make.
But be careful. This video is all the good things. Most parts of Philly are no-go zones. Hyper violent and crime ridden.
I live in Philly, by the Art Museum. You must have visited here during Labor Day weekend. Great video. You hit some excellent spots, although there are a lot more to see. The best weekend to visit here is over Independence Day weekend to see the huge fireworks display and the free museums
Actually I do think that's when we were there. Good call! 100% agree there is a lot more to see. Only so much you can fit into a weekend though. We have some new spots on our list for when we return. Of course, we're always open to suggestions as well.
Hi! New viewer here! The quality of your video is incredible!
Hi! Thank you so much! Are you from Philadelphia or thinking about visiting there?
AWESOME JOB!!
Thank you!! Thanks for watching
Your videography is fantastic!
Thank you so much! Still a lot to improve
I agree with Sara - loved Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka!
Fun videos guys!
We compromised and agreed that the original Charlie and the Chocolate was better but Johnny Depp's take on the character was better
Love this 💜💜💜💜
Thank you!
One of my fav cities. Big Philly
Agreed. We love Philly. I gets a lot of hate
I love watching videos about my city and see if I'm in there lol 😆
Haha did you see yourself? That would be cool
Those murals are amazing!
Yeah they were so dope. Probably some of the best we've seen. Just a bit disappointed there weren't more
Actually Philly is THE mural capitol of the world with over 5,000 murals and counting.
Thank you. We did mention that. Didn't realize they were so spread out
I truly love the video and your editing style, feel like watching an actuall movie
Thank you! That means a lot.. Still trying to find a good editing style that fit so words like this reaffirming our decision making with edits!
@@TheDetourDuo this is so far the best video about Philly I can find!
@@quangsteo thank you so much. Glad it was helpful for you
We skipped Philadelphia. But we will visit next year. Enjoyed this video! 😊
Thanks! Glad our videos are helpful at least
Visiting Philly for my 3rd time next weekend for a tattoo. This was a cool video for me to see more of the city !
Thanks for watching. Where are you getting tattooed and what are you getting?
@@TheDetourDuo I got a tattoo near 11th and Ridge Ave. it was a sacred heart tattoo on my stomach.
We had such a good weekend in Philly! We rented bikes and biked from Rittenhouse Square to Manyunk along the Schuylkill River. Went out almost every night in Fishtown.
Wish we had more time on the riverfront. It started to rain a bunch and the week prior was that big flood
PHILLY POWER!
🙌🏿
I been to Philadelphia twice it is my second favorite up north city but nyc has stole my heart literally
We still have to plan an NYC trip. There's just so much I feel like we'd need a month and 4 videos to really hit a lot of the city lol
@@TheDetourDuo ok I’m plan on visiting nyc for the second time for Christmas I’ll be back in Philly Wednesday night what stuff you like about philly
I hope & pray that my city gets itself together
Yeah, I saw that North Philly in particular was in some rough shape with the drugs. I'm from Baltimore so I understand what you mean
Great video!!
Do you have any hotel suggestions??
Thank you! We actually stay at Airbnb's for a lot of our travels so unfortunately I can't give you a good recommendation there
Love your video! What month did you visit?
Thank you! We went in September
Great work y’all. Looked a little *moist* at the end 🤪
haha just a little bit
Heading to Philly from Wales 🏴next week for Wrestlemania but will be making the most of the city whilst there - thanks for some great ideas of different things to explore👌🤟
Enjoy it. I'm not a big wrestling fan anymore but I went to WrestleMania years ago in New Orleans. Absolutely loved the event. Philly is a good spot for it! Just stay out of North Philly, Kensington area
@TheDetourDuo we're staying up near the Fairmount SEPTA Station in good accommodation so should be OK there! It's a bucket list trip for my adult son's birthday as a present 👌 Just gotta get Superbowl tickets next 🤣
@@Paul_SD When you get Superbowl tickets We'd love some tickets as well 🤣
@@TheDetourDuo it's a deal! 🫡😎
haveAgreatdayyy,,good to seeyou
if you haven't yet you should definitely check out the masonic temple on 1N broad that you showed in the beginning of the video its a beautiful building with lots of history of its own
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great use of the 360 cam
I have Fain to thank for that. Gotta say I'm liking the insta360 one x2 a lot better than the gopro360. Really solid color science for a 360 camera
Great video! There are two or three stables in DC , if you know where to look. 💙
Thank you! You know I've heard that, but never actually been to one there.
In the Candytopia segment there is a REALLY important question that needs answering. Leave your response in the comments.
I can’t lie I lived in Philly my whole life and sim stuff I never even knew 😂 this a good video
Thanks for watching. Glad we could show you something new! You gonna check any of it out?
It’s extremely common for people to not know what’s available in their own city even if they’ve lived there for many decades
amazing camera work. omg..
Thanks a lot! 🙏🏿
i saw several videos about Philadelphia, but your was the more exited have more hidden places.
Thank you!
Sorry for the spelling error. That's what happens when you're excited to post a video and forget to spell check. That's on me. 🙏
Yo! Here's some Philadelphia colloquialism, your jawn (video) presents Philly well. Thanks.
Respect! Thank you.
National Treasure at the alley?! I missed to spot that place where a scene is I watched. Thanks.
Haha it's one of Sara's favorite movies
Great video! Thank you for this! And I prefer Johnny Depp too haha
Thanks for watching! Johnny's okay I guess haha
Hey guys, looks like you had a great time in Philly. The medical museum sounded very interesting! I really enjoyed the footage of the Magical Gardens. It is a bummer you couldnt see Rocky 😒 but glad you faked it 😆
Hmm I dont know that I have a strong opinion on Willy Wonka...I like them both!
That whispering bench is sooo cool.
Honestly didn't think the Whispering bench was going to work. That was pretty wild. We enjoyed faking our rocky moments better than recreating the actual shot 😂
@@TheDetourDuo I was kind of expecting it to be a dud too, it is so cool you were able to capture the effects of the bench on camera.
I couldn't really hear it on camera so I was concerned to see if the audio would match what we were hearing. Sigh of relief on that one 😂
You must have a Philly cheesesteak with cheese, onions and pepper when in Philly. Lettuce, tomato, pickles are bonus
good call on that one!
Check out Strawberry Mansion or Kensington. Might I recommend Front Street and Alleghany.
Thank you for the recommendations
@@TheDetourDuo Yeah, no problem. Great night life. Make sure you hit them up after dark.
Awesome footage!!!!! The more awesome your edit guys!!! Loved it 😍
Great job…my respects 😊✅
Glad you liked it!! Thank you. Feel like we're starting to find a groove in how we like to edit
Our murals are spread out through the entire city. You were just in one part, Center City. You have to go through the city to see all of them. My neighborhood alone has quite a few. Explore Philly if you come back, not just Center City
We were in west Philly and Fairmont park a bunch too, but we definitely plan on coming back. Didn't get much time to see much of south Philly.
Also check out North Philly, and surrounding areas such Mt Airy, Germantown, Ogontz. Also other areas like Manayunk, Chestnut hill. I could go on
A lot of folks said say away from North Philly because it was getting bad up there so we decided not to. Next time we'll keep those spots on mind.
@@TheDetourDuo Yes, stay far away from North Philly! It's not for people who aren't from here. There are many areas throughout the city outside of center city you'll enjoy such as Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, Manayunk, East Falls, Bustleton, Wissahickon park, and East Oak Lane. But again, stay away from North Philly. And as someone else said, our murals are spread throughout the city. They're not in just one area like is the case in London where all the murals are in shoreditch or like in Miami where all the murals are in the Wynwood art district.
Good to know. Thank you
That’s a catchy name for a channel . Cheesesteak time and Rocky steps.
Thank you kindly! Philly was a great time. Love a good Philly cheesesteak
I have lived in Philly for 3 years. I am from Erie, PA. I moved to Philly from Phoenix. Not a fan of Phoenix at all. Half of Philly lives in Phoenix. I must say, I cannot believe how hot the Summers are in Philly. Moreover, I love rain storms, not happening in Philly. It barely rains and snows in Philly. Way too warm for me.. Luv the food here!
Food is amazing! We're big fans of Philly. Summers in the Northeast definitely get hot!
Philadelphia didn't get any measurable snow last winter. That has happened before but it's still quite rare.
Well done. My city of birth.
Thank you!
I posted a city vlog bc u inspired me!❤
Very cool!!!! We're going to check it out!
You two are a great looking couple . I can only wish I had someone to do those thing with.
Thank you
Does this mean I am more smarter than A.E.? Probably not. I'll be in philly in September. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching. Let us know your thoughts
Gene Wilder. The OG Willy Wonka.
For a short time a loooooong time ago in my teens and 20s I looooved Tim Burton. He was very novel during that time in the 80s and 90s, but as I passed through the ages, I can't stand them. It's all style over substance. I still like Batman, Batman Returns, and Sleepy Hollow.
I can see that. Almost feels like all his movies could be in the same universe. We both enjoy watching Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. That one is a bit different from his norm.
Where should I stay in Philly on vacation, I’ve heard it’s getting bad out there
We have no problems in West Philly, but it's probably best to stay closer to the city center or in the south. Don't venture much into North Philly. Kensington is REALLY bad!
@@TheDetourDuo thank you 🙏🏾
Of course! Have fun and be safe.
🐈⬛💗
5:28 this is center city?
sorry for the late response. Yes it was the center city west
Sound travels differently in Philly apparently 🤣
Apparently
Gene Wilder brought us the Imagination song, so for that he wins!
Heck yeah he did!
I like the original Willy Wonka movie I watched it yesterday morning
I'm overdue for watching it. You just can't beat the original!
No contest. Gene Wilder for the win!
Exactly!
4:22 song ?
don't remember the song title, but the artist is called Dazy Chain. He is on of my favorite artists
@@TheDetourDuo lol okay thank you
I genuinely like Sara and resist the urge to think she is a psychopath but the Johnny Depp over Gene Wilder shakes my faith in humanity.
BTW videography out the wazoo!
Apparently there is a new one in the works with Timothee Chalamet as Wonka. We might all join forces to hate that one together 🤣
Candytopia Philly closed.
oh really? That's unfortunate. Thanks for letting us know
Yo, your girl is CRAZY hot, but if I were you, I would definitely be having second thoughts regarding the Gene Wilder/Johnny Depp business! Don't get me wrong--everyone's entitled to their opinion--but that may in fact be one of the most offensive, jaw-dropping, ass-backwards opinions in all of cinematic history! In fact, I have to believe she's probably punking you--there's literally no other explanation for such a thing. She's pranking you, friend. Gotta be.
Haha she might be
Gene’s is better 🎉
good to know. Thank you
I being a native born Philadelphia gladiator appreciate your positive attitude to boost interest. Kudos on excellent production values. But you were callous in your disregard, and disrespect for the pure dangerous violence criminality that intersperses the city. You can die down town at night. Any night, you can wind up on the evening news as another casualty. Not all those killed or injured criminally were stupid , most were just uninformed, and their deaths were brutal. I dare you to do any documentary on north Philadelphia unarmed. Or attempts on your life waiting for the ELLEVATED ( EL) or subway, or just for thrills 30th street, go ahead walk around there. Can you outrun a 38 caliber bullet slug ? Best wishes. You did not give even a cautionary note which is appalling. Did you not buy a news paper while visiting, guess not ? Best wishes, perhaps a little critical honesty might be refreshing. Good luck.
Really appreciate your input Walter, and thank you for the positive remark. Here's the thing though. We get this comment on literally every video of a city we visit. From New York to Baltimore (where I'm from btw) to North Carolina and San Diego. Even small towns. The thing is this video is highlighting our experience, who like most tourists won't venture far from where the main attractions are. We also rarely, if ever, travel out at night anywhere we go. Sure there are still dangers traveling to heavily populated areas in broad daylight, but that's just like there are everywhere you travel in most of the world. We didn't bring up North Philly because we didn't venture into North Philly. And we certainly didn't tell anyone to go into North Philly. You can call it luck or naive but why be negative when we didn't have a negative experience? If anyone is visiting a place, I'd hope that they would do a little more research than just watching our video to plan an itinerary. Being smart while traveling absolutely decreases risk exponentially.
Great job but come on -- Gene Wilder was much better.
I 100% agree!
@@TheDetourDuo I mean, Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker. See if she can quote one line from the new one
I'm from Philly and ima tell u wat to do. It's easy. As,soon as u get off the plane turn around and get back on it. Go to new york. U either gonna get shot or robbed. It's not worth it for a cheesesteak 😂😂
thanks for the comment
I don't know why they so obsessed with rambo he's not a real person he just based on a fiction character. It's just like Japan who has a statue of Godzilla which is based on a fiction monster. Meaningless (Hello-Goodbye)
Thanks for watching! 😁
@@TheDetourDuo I didn't watch it I skimmed through it.
Really? Couldn't tell. Well, thanks for the engagement!😁
@@TheDetourDuo anytime
Y'all make me sick
Don't care
@@TheDetourDuo If you from Philly then act like you know 😂 this is C Lo speaking
@@armanddeblasio2888 cool
I’m going to Philly in two days and this definitely helps. Thank you so much!
Let us know how it goes!
Sorry for the random approach you seem to be an ambitious individual which gives me the idea to know if you’re open minded to look into a new way of generating an income..
