    Our tour guide will was very knowledgeable and was a good guy. That’s why I’m giving it two stars but when I ordered the tickets, the advertising was false. The photos when ordering them online when it said it was a guided tour and you would see the Liberty Bell and independence hall had pictures of being inside by the Liberty Bell and inside independence hall we did not go in either one. We just walked past them on the outside of the buildings. buying these tickets I thought I was getting a tour of the Liberty Bell and inside independence hall which is not the case. When I mentioned this to Will, he did make exceptions and let us go through to see the liberty Bell and menace at the exit so I gave him kudos for that. He was very good and very knowledgeable, but I wouldn’t book have booked it, knowing that we weren’t going to see the Liberty Bell or independence Hall was not included in it. If it wasn’t for Will, I would give zero stars.

    Gentlemen was very knowledgeable and pleasant. However, I was under the impression that we would be “seeing” these places, not simply walking the buildings.
