The Constitutional Audio Tour focuses on the Independence National Historical Park area, which includes sites such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the National Constitution Center and the Betsy Ross House.
The Constitutional's energetic storytellers, tour guides and historical character impersonators provide visitors with an educational and entertaining experience. "GPS Gena" is the Constitutional Audio Tour narrator who announces the sites and provides directions. The Constitutional Tour Guides, Eli and Emilie, give a brief history of each site and "Philadelphia Frieda" interjects to provide some "Philadelphia Firsts." There are also some "special guests" who make appearances along the way, such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson.
In addition to providing the quintessential Philadelphia tour experience that includes learning about Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, the Constitutional Audio Tour also features contemporary information that transcends history along the route. Visitors will hear stories such as why Benjamin Franklin is in the International Swimming Hall of Fame and how Josiah Bartlett, one of the signers of The Declaration of Independence, is related to Martin Sheen's character, President Josiah "Jed" Bartlett, on the NBC show, "The West Wing." They will also see "modern day" sites along the way, including MTV's "Real World Philadelphia" House.
With its patriotic music, creative sound effects and entertaining storytellers, The Constitutional Audio Tour is truly a "theater of the mind" experience. Whether it's the sound of a "pen" on parchment as John Hancock signs The Declaration of Independence or the cannons discharging to announce America's first Fourth of July of celebration, this Philadelphia Podcast immerses visitors in a virtual time machine by surrounding them with the sounds, stories and sites of Historic Philadelphia.
The tour includes recorded directions from one site to the next, accompanied by an easy to follow map that can be downloaded online at www.PhillyMP3.com/map .
