Have been there twice in the past few years. Don't take the tour, use the self guided tapes and earphones, much better on your own to explore and at your own pace. Forget the tripod as it will be a nuisance. Photo ops are innumerable and you're only a block and a half away from the Phil. Museum of Art, the one in which Rocky Balboa climbed the steps in the movie. Much to see and do just walking the streets. Enjoy.
Good thoughts but without a tripod many shots would be lost-I took my tripod on each of my three visits and will take it again when I return. Many low light situations require a tripod.
