Benjamin Franklin's London And The American Revolution Tour
Overview
Follow the incredible London life of United States Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Franklin lived in London for nearly 20 years, and this fun, history based tour takes you on a journey through the streets he knew well.
His first extended stay as a young batchelor helped shape and form the man he would become. He later returned for 16 years as a Diplomat representing Colonial interests. During this period he made the change from viewing himself an Englishman and supporter of the King, to an ardent supporter of the American Revolution, and signatory to the Declaration of Independence.
This private and personalised tour allows you to follow in his footsteps across the oldest parts of the City of London, discovering many famous landmarks as well as some hidden Gems, including the only surviving home of Benjamin Franklin in the world.
