We loved the Big Bus Tour of Philadelphia. My husband and I live in the area and had out-of-town friends visiting. A great way to see the city and we all learned a ton! Buses were plentiful and timely. Guides were knowledgable and professional. Ticketing experience was easy and seamless. A+ all around!

Our guide was very knowledgeable of the various architecture, history and art in the Philly area. He pointed so much as we toured Philly. Very much worth the cost and time.

The young lady narrator on the second bus was very good and had a working audio system. The first narrator, an older women, had an audio system that was not working properly. She was also confusing as she was having a problem with knowing left from right. She corrected herself but had us confused as to what side she was referencing. Ticketing was unclear as I was directed to an agent a block away.

Great way to see the highlights of the city. We like the hear the guides give you insight into the city. We always use the hop on hop off when we go to a new city.
