Cần Quan Tâm
Liberty Bell Center
Come with us as we visit The Liberty Bell, perhaps the most famous symbol of American Liberty in the National Historic Park. Peak tourist season can often see lines of destination seekers stretched well around the corner for this monumental icon of American Independence taking close to one hour to traverse. Our historians give to you all of the essentials of The Liberty Bell’s creation and formation in to an icon of liberty from the exterior of the Liberty Bell pavilion, with clear and detailed directions to enter the interior should you choose to invest the additional hour on return. Commissioned in 1752 the bell cracked on its initial test ring and was re-casted two years later by local workman John Pass and John Stow with the lettering, "Proclaim LIBERTY Throughout all the Land unto all the Inhabitants Thereof," a quote from the King James Bible referring to the jubilee when enslaved persons were freed and debts forgiven every fifty years.
Independence Hall
We will visit Independence Hall: the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. An essential icon of American democracy and founding of These United States the Independence Hall complex is a bastion of tourism and requires (free) timed entry passes and a recommended two hours additional time for exploration of the center of the complex’s interior chambers. We keep your tour moving quickly, to give you the best, most important essential highlights and significant points of the structure including clear and simple instruction on traversing the complex further on return should you choose. Subject to crowds and closures we pit-stop quickly inside of the East Wing of the Independence Hall Complex: the very oldest and most historic part of the structure: which served as The Supreme Court Chambers while Philadelphia was our nation’s capital.

5.00My husband and I booked ourselves for the Revolution and the Founders 11:00 am tour. Josh was our tour guide and it is my understanding his education is American History. He did not disappoint. He made history come alive. He was informative, funny, and knowledgeable. It was amazing how Josh was able to dramatize the economic, religious, and political happenings of the time and how these things intersected with each other. The stories of the cracked liberty bell, Robert Morris, country’s first bankruptcy and the country’s first bank robbery are not to be missed! This is a must see of anyone’s trip to Philadelphia.
Kyle gives a great tour. Nice way to learn about the birth of our country.

5.00This was a great tour. Our tour guide, Kyle, was extremely helpful and remained in character for our tour. He did a really nice job engaging our group to help us better understand how our country came to be. He was extremely educated, was able to answer all questions and quoted many historic figures. He kept us laughing and taught us a lot. Good tour for kids and adults.
