This was the best way to view all of the important things in the city in one day! Such an incredible experience, and so easy to maneuver. Sebastian & Darrel (I think was our drivers name) were the best guides we had all day, and we had them to start & to end!

Fun and informative guides that made the day fun. I could see a lot in one day! You get to see all the major spots without all the walking!

Great way to get a little knowledge on most historic sites and see the downtown area. The hop on, hop off is great if you start early enough.

Well worth the cost. Best way to get acquainted with any city. We rode the whole loop. Then decided where we wanted to get off. The guides were all very good, wish I recalled their names. As an fyi.....you have to go to stop one when you first get on bus. This was near the Liberty Bell/ Liberty Hall. Tickets have to be scanned. Lucky for us that walk was not too far and there was a stop at the end of the day right across from our hotel. Due to govt shutdown, Liberty Bell can only be viewed through the glass . Some other government bldgs were closed as well. Oh well.

We enjoyed our 1-day bus tour through Philly. Great weather, so sitting up top, in the open, was lovely. Hopped off for a pic of the Rocky Statue at the Museum of Art, then again along Pine Street. From there we walked several blocks south to the Italian area on 9th Street. Yummy lunch....some shopping....back to Pine Street to catch the next bus. By chance the same driver was manning the wheel and greeted us warmly. If you haven't visited the Reading Terminal Market (a stop on the route) hope off for a fun hour+ for a bit of shopping and trying different foods.

Great way to get the lay of the land. Goes past all the major sites. The guides were knowledgable and offered interesting commentary. The stops were convenient. Works for making multiple stops or you can stay on and take the complete route and return later to sites of interest. Double decker steps might be difficult for some to manage.

Good value and informative. Get on and off as much as you’d like. Goes by all the major city sites. It’s great

We found this bus tour of Philadelphia very informative and interesting. The tour guide was full of fascinating stories and was easily heard throughout the 1 3/4 hour tour. It is a great way to get an overview of what sights you might want to spend time touring on foot.

It was confusing to get on and was directed to a couple stops but once on board was a great day! I would do this again
