I had a lovely time on the Beyond the Bell tour. The tour guides Rebecca and Joey had so much knowledge about the bell it was ridiculous. What I really appreciated about the tour was the separation they drew between the historical context of the bell and the bell's symbolic significance. I did not know what the bell represented historically and they were able to thoroughly explain it throughout different time periods and with different groups. Overall I would say the tour is definitely worth it for anyone looking to dig a little deeper into the history of Philly.
