WHO SHOULD JOIN
Everyone connected to Philadelphia’s thriving tourism industry is invited to join the Association of Philadelphia Tour Guides (APT): docents, site managers, re-enactors, carriage drivers, walking tour guides, concierges, volunteers, representatives of tourism-related organizations and any other parties interested in Philadelphia and its history. APT is a growing community of members who care about what they do and the city they live and work in.
Monthly meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7 pm and feature a guest speaker on a topic of historical significance in Philadelphia or a field trip for a behind-the-scenes tour of a local historic site. Meetings are open to aspiring and working tour guides as well as anyone with an interest in Philadelphia-focused history. Attend two meetings for free and then it is $50 to join the association for the year or $10 per monthly meeting event. Please join us for convivial company, good food, fascinating presentations, and lively discussions!

Those interested may join in person at any APT meeting with cash or check, via post with a check to APT Treasurer Bob Levitt at 2040 Wallace St., Philadelphia, PA 19130, or online at the APT Store.
