Brandywine Valley and Longwood Gardens Private -Small group Tour

Longwood Gardens is considered to be one of the finest botanical gardens in the country, and for good reason. This sprawling former estate of the DuPont family boasts an endless collection of dazzling flowers, plants, and trees.

After your local tour guide picks you up in Philadelphia, you’ll quickly find yourself in the beautiful rolling hills of Brandywine Valley. Your tour guide will narrate the history of the Valley, from life in indigenous settlements to landmark battles of the American Revolutionary War.

We’ll then arrive at Longwood Gardens, a 1,077-acre estate bursting with color around every corner. Here, you’ll enjoy magical fountains spraying towers of water into the air with synchronized music, fantastic floral displays inside the main conservatory, and an impressive variety of native and exotic gardens.

Longwood Garden tickets are included in your private driving tour, but we’re happy to arrange admission to any of the top attractions and activities in the area!
