Join your fellow AU alums on this unique bus tour of Philadelphia that will take you through Center City, Old City, Queen Village, South Philadelphia, Parkway Museum District, and the Fairmount/Art Museum area.

While on the bus, enjoy a Philadelphia Snack Pack and drinks as you visit 38 sites representing more than 25 movies and television shows that have been made in Philadelphia.

The bus will be equipped with large screen plasma television monitor and surround sound so that you can enjoy the movie clips -- like a rolling movie theater!
