Philly Touch Tours designs and provides hands-on sensory and inclusive arts and cultural experiences with and for people who are blind or visually impaired

Philly Touch Tours has been formed to provide rich and meaningful hands-on sensory and inclusive experiences in and around the Philadelphia region for people who are blind or visually impaired. Whether you are a local Philadelphian or a visitor from out of town or overseas you have come to the right place. Our enthusiastic team is primed and ready to offer creative and inclusive opportunities for

people with vision loss and their friends and family to engage with the area’s local culture and history. Accessibility Consulting and Training

We offer Accessibility Consulting and Disability Awareness/Sensitivity Training with half day or full day sessions for a wide range of professionals including museum and cultural institution staff as well as educators, medical professionals and school and college students. We have extensive experience in accessible program design and presentation of tours for groups of children and adults with visual impairment, including those with hearing loss. Touch and Sensory Tours

Our team of sighted and visually impaired consultants, artists and educators know that people with vision loss desire equal access to and inclusion in social and cultural experiences in and around their surroundings. We provide a range of rich and meaningful sensory activities in the city’s social, historical, natural and cultural life through carefully designed and accessible tours. We are delighted to partner with individuals and organizations to offer a rich variety of experiences to accommodate individual tastes. Tours include a unique museum program, a history based walking tour, the immersion into a favorite local market and a tasting and culinary experience in a neighborhood brewery. Tours are available for individuals with vision loss and their friends or family members and for groups from organizations or centers who support or work with people who are blind or visually impaired. Tour guides are trained in verbal description and sighted guide techniques. Contact Us:
