2.00the step onto the bus was too high. 2 of our path needed assistance. A simple step that could be placed on the ground would go a long way.
Fun with family

5.00Our guide Tom was incredible. Took the trip with my husband, daughter, son in law and 6 grandchildren and everyone agreed this was the best part of our trip to Philly. Highly recommend this excursion.
Hop on/off bus tour is a must!

1.00We could only get on once, after getting off we waited for more than an hour and it didn't happen. The audio guide explained about stop two when we got on six. We will never take the Double Decker HOP on Hop off City Sightseeing again
Fabulous Tour!

5.00It was great! Harris was very imformative and entertaining and he knew so much about the history and sites of Philidelphia. I was very impressed and we saw so much of the City. I can't wait to return when the weather is warmer and and I'd ride this hop on hop off for days!

2.00For $100 per couple it would have been great to hear much more about Philadelphia. Our tour guide, Tom, told us he's been at this for about a year...and it shows. He doesn't share as much about the city as he does about personal relationships with Kevin Bacon and his Dad. Tom spends more time warning about branches and wires throughout our tour and less time sharing information about what we are seeing...and yet he reminded us plenty of times about the tip box! When we got off at the Art museum/Rocky Steps, we were there for about 15-20 minutes. We then proceeded to wait for an HOUR and the next bus that arrived was the trolley bus. They were good enough to let us ride with them, and we learned more about Philadelphia in the 30 minutes we were in that bus than we learned from Tom in over an hour on our first bus ride. This was both frustrating and disappointing since we were trapped for an hour at a bus stop that allegedly runs buses every half hour-45 minutes! We had tickets for a museum that afternoon and had to hurry to see it in an hour's less time than we would have if you had kept to the promised schedule. Of course, when we have concerns about our trip, our frustrations, and the overpriced poor experience we had, there's no one that we could talk to about it until you send review requests like this. Unfortunately you have to take our word about the day and we spent quite a bit to hear about Philadelphia from alleged experts who let us down. Had there been someone to bring attention to this in the city in Tuesday we would have expressed our concerns at that time. In the hopes that you might want to make this right with us, here is supporting information: Mark and Mary Hetrick 3331 Hughes Blvd. Toledo, Ohio. 43606 (419) 350-8443 Date of Tour Tuesday March 24th 9:30 A.M. REC. # 1925 Term # 380822479728 TIX #s 0110009002968/2969 Thank you for asking about our trip...sure wish we had better responses.
Hop on board!
