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.

1.00I love tours, but found Alex's tour disjointed and difficult to follow. Facts about Philly in general were jumbled in with a historical events. Nothing flowed chronologically and people and events weren't connected. Alex is a kind person, but I left her tour confused and uninspired.
Superb sites and history. Awesome tour guide.

5.00What a beautiful tour! Josh did a superb job of giving us one historic fact after another with so much enthusiasm and animation at least 90% of the information is surely going to stick and will be retained for years to come. It’s a lovely brisk walk and of course we saw some really amazing historic sites. Would join a tour with Josh any day! He’s awesome!
Great tour! Stay close to...

5.00This tour was very well organized and led. Christa is very knowledgeable, answered questions clearly, and is fun! We appreciated learning particulars about the country's beginnings. One difficulty for us, as senior citizens, was standing in one place for several minutes during presentations. We would often retreat to a bench or wall to rest, even if out of earshot. One idea: rent out walking sticks that can unfold into little seats. We are quite eager to take another history tour.
Misleading false advertising regarding the viewing of the Liberty Bell.

1.00What a complete waste of time and money! It felt like a never-ending 2-hour walk just to rip us off. Avoid at all costs.
Book it!
