Your Guide
Meet Marshall, the passionate creator behind The Always Sunny Tour (it's weird writing about myself in the third-person). After living in Philly for over a decade, Marshall developed a deep love for this extremely quirky city. His journey to becoming a tour guide started with an unexpected step—after a layoff, in search for a more fulfilling career, he discovered that his neighborhood was brimming with iconic filming spots from It's Always Sunny.
While Marshall wasn't trained as a tour guide, he spent most of the past decade getting a PhD in Archaeology, honing skills of presenting and explaining. That training came in handy when it came to identifying places from the show! With that desire to tell stories (and too many people telling him that he looks like Charlie) he launched The Always Sunny Tour.
​
The best part being your guide on The Always Sunny Tour is getting to share this wonderful and weird city with both visitors and locals alike. If you want to take a tour that's unlike any other in the city, join us!

Do I need to be an Always Sunny superfan to go on this tour?Not at all!

We share pictures and videos from the show so you can follow along, even if you don't know every joke and scene.
-
Will we see Paddy's Pub?This is the most common question - "Can I visit Paddy's Pub?" But unfotunately, Paddy's Pub's exterior and interior and exterior were shot in Los Angeles, not Philly. There are a number of pubs in Philadelphia named "Paddy's" but none of them were the inspiration or the filming location for the show.

Will we see Rob McElhenney's Childhood Home?In the past, the tour passed Rob McElhenney's childhood home. As of the winter of 2023, construction has demolished the exterior in the process of turning it into a townhome. Sadly, it is no longer worth visiting in this state.
