Ended up being a private tour for me and my son - My son and I ended up booked this tour not expecting it would end up only being us two and our guide Matt. Since it ended up being just three of us, Matt want off script and took us on different tour. It was awesome that he pointed out things we'd never notice on our own.

Twilight Tour - Bill was our guide. A retired teacher & very knowledgeable. Our tour was entitled ‘swords to ploughshares’ on Sat Aug 26 , 6PM. A young lady from Paris, a young lady from Argentina, my friend & myself a local of the area & now 80 years old. Covered topics pre 1776 -now as we walked through the mall. Lasted over an hour & wound up at the Liberty Bell. Bill was very informative & receptive to all our questions. Each 4th of July, I attend ceremonies At Independence Hall. I’ve visited all the museums in the area.I live in Center City. So happy the Twilight Tours are back, since the time of COVID.
