Watch Out

4.00The tour was very good and informative. We went past all of the pertinent areas I was hoping we would. The guide was entertaining in addition and knew the history of the area. The downfall of the tour was due to the fact we were on top of the bus there were many branches we had to duck from, which could have been dangerous if we were not paying attention. Because there were so many it was a little distracting. It was not the fault of the tour company, but of the city maintenance. The tour company did there best to protect us from getting hit by the low hanging branches. Otherwise I would probably have given it a 5 star.
Fantastic City Overview!

5.00The hop on/off bus is a great way to get an overview of a city, its history and its points of interest. The option to get on and off in your desired areas was very convenient. I highly recommend at least 2 days, if possible.

4.00Tour guide and driver were great. Tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Being on the upper level required some ducking to avoid low hanging branches and wires. Price was bit high for what was experienced…
Go on this one!

An absolute must for touring Philadelphia

5.00This is an absolute must if you want to get to know Philadelphia and where all the landmarks are. We stayed on the bus for the whole loop to see where everything was and then used it over the couple of days for the hop on/off experience and to get to those landmarks that were a bit long for a walk. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend.
