1.00Top of the bus was advertised as UNCOVERED. They put on a cover a week before and DID NOT ADVERTISE IT. Couldn't take photos, and the tour was ruined.

5.00My husband and I are here for a few days. Wanted to see Philly at night and this a nice option. I would do this tour again but in the daytime as some of the points of interest were hard to see at night. Would also do the Christmas light tour. Our tour guide, Ruth, was amazing. Lots of knowledge and fun facts about the city. Our driver, Tiffany, was also outstanding! We should have dressed a bit warmer for sitting on the top deck of the bus.
