What To Expect
Rocky Statue
In a tour full of highlights, the one at the top of the list is of course the iconic statue and steps that have defined what the Rocky films are all about. Do your best Balboa impression in front of his statue, which may be the most photographed statue in Philadelphia. Then make sure to do some stretches before running up the 72 most famous steps in the city and strike your victor’s pose! The view of the city from on top of the steps is magnificent, and your guide will be there to capture it all on your phone.
Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Philadelphia Museum of Art, one of the largest art museums in the United States, showcases a vast collection spanning centuries and cultures. Made famous by the iconic "Rocky" films, its front steps, known as the "Rocky Steps," have become an iconic symbol of the city, where visitors often recreate the triumphant run made by Sylvester Stallone's character, Rocky Balboa

5.00I want to thank Mike for making this tour possible. Mike blew me away with his knowledge about the Rocky movies and the history behind each location and answered any question I had about the movies with the history behind the scenes. He’s a great guy and this is the one and only tour you must go on, coming from a lifelong Rocky fan! Keep Punching!
That was great! James has...

5.00What a great trip. It was my husband's birthday present. We were completely overwhelmed. Luckily, we were able to go into Creeds Gym and get to know the owner (a real Mickey guy), even to Adrian’s (Victor Cafe), which was actually still closed, we were able to go in and look around in peace and do Foos. (We still ate here in the evening at live sung opera arias). Finally, of course, the Rockysteps... I can't perform this great tour in detail, that would be beyond the scope here.You can see the most important locations of the movies.Thank you very much to our guide Adam
SPECTACULAR

5.00The tour is impressive, you visit areas of Philadelphia that you would not visit on a conventional tour, you also see the hard face of Philadelphia. As far as the areas about Rocky are concerned there are some areas that when you arrive there really is nothing that was in the film anymore but I think seeing the house where Rocky lived in the first two films, Adrian's restaurant, the church and of course the statue makes up for everything. Don't forget to go inside the restaurant because it doesn't say much on the outside but inside you feel in the movie. Special thanks to our guide Barry, a great guy who made our day a fantastic day. Thanks Barry!!
