Had a fabulous guide Hilary who was a wealth of knowledge about the city. We really only came to Philly on the way to NYC to see the Rocky steps/statue but came away with so much more. Loved it and money well spent.

This was about $36 per person. Took you to many different stops. Not a ton to say about this above and beyond. If you want to just see the sights from the upper deck it’s a good way to see the city for relatively cheap. They only we’re going 30 minutes instead of the tent 10 to 15 they advertised which was a little annoying. Overall: 8.0/10

We take these Hop-On Hop-Off trolley tours whenever we vacation for the first time in a large city. They are generally very informative, providing facts that are often unknown. The trolly tour in Philadelphia was frustrating to say the least! As usually, I bought tickets in advance thru Trip Advisor, then arrived at the first location ready for the adventure. It was advertised as the Big Bus, yet we were told to get on the Red bus that was waiting to leave. As it was a comfortable day weather wise, we sat on top. Our guide introduced himself and asked if we could hear and when all said yes, off we went. That was the last time we heard his voice. The engine or was SO loud, my husband and I couldn’t even hear each other even when raising our voices. We motioned to the guide that we couldn’t hear, so he indicated that he would turn his mic up…didn’t help. The first 3 stops were what we really wanted to hear about, but we could only see our guides lips moving and him pointing in multiple directions. By stop 4, we’d had enough! The couple next to us said this happened the day before as well, and they only came on this one again to get to a place they didn’t want to walk to. So we got off and fortunately there was one of their stands where we told them how awful it was. He seems surprised, but then said “next time you should sit closer to the front or down below”. Then we were told to wait for the Big Bus since their sound was better then the Red buses. We had 20 mins to wait, so we grabbed a takeout so we wouldn’t miss the Big Bus. When it came, there were only 4 seats available and again they were up top. We decided to take 2 and were pleasantly surprised that we could actually hear! However, this guide spoke so fast, that it was difficult to understand all of it and she was often talking about the next stop while we were trying to take pics of what we were still passing. Too much information, so we were not inspired to return to investigate anything further. This is the first tour where the trolly/ bus only stopped if someone indicated they wanted to get off. All others stop for a few minutes whether someone wants off or not or even if no one is waiting to come on board. Very strange and stressful 2 hours.

I was very disappointed with this as the windows downstairs where I had to sit as I’m in a wheelchair were covered by a film and you couldn’t see properly or take photos I feel I was robbed on this outing . Wouldn’t recommend if you can’t get to top of bus and lot of times people had to sit down stairs as no room upstairs couldn’t see anything! Avoid

I went to fill out an application I was lied to by staff never got a job Hispanic women who worked there tried to impress and act as if they could make things happen lol

We were lucky that we travelled on a warm day. It's a nice way to get an overview and make note if stops you want to return to later. Take note that the bus doesn't provide a view of the site; you have to get off the bus and walk a little. But be sure you get on one that crosses the Golden Gate Bridge. It's dramatic! Good value for the price.

It was crowded on our bus and had to wait for a couple of stops before we could get on top. It was a fun trip and lots to see!

There are two hop on hop off bus lines. The two were working toogether on our visit. We were not as happy with big bus drivers. However they do give an adaquate history of Philly and sites.

Great combination of live guides and recorded audio. I wish working hours are little bit longer. Still helps a lot.

Big bus was great! They sent a van to our hotel to pick us up and bring us to the beginning of the tour. One exceptional tour guide, he was super knowledgable and went above and BEYOND to share with us all he knew about his city!! Only wish I had time to find him and do it again the 2nd day😩 we ran out of time! Buses were very timely with the exception af one at the end of the day, we waited 30 minutes wich seems like an eternity in the cold! All in all was good and will do the all inclusive "go tour" again.

It's been a long time since I used one of these buses after a bad experience on one in Las Vegas (do not use the Vegas bus versions). However, this was ok. The driver was friendly and helpful. Got where I needed to go to.

We took this tour to get a better feel for the city and it was wonderful. Our tour guide was very informative and had some great stories to share. I came to Philadelphia a lot when I was growing up and I still learned some new things on this tour. We decided to just ride the whole circuit first to get an overview of the city which was helpful. Then we would hop on and off as we needed to. With fewer people in the wintertime the bus runs a little less frequently, but we didn't run into any major problems.

I understand route changes because of traffic or construction, but when you are given a new stop and you go there and the bus goes to the original stop you the go to the original stop and wait another 30 minutes and see the next bus go to the new stop and have to wait another 30 minutes because the driver do not tell dispatch that the original stop is now back in business.Very disappoint in this kind of service. So total time wasted is 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Mike and Kelly are the best team in town!!! Great trip! My wife and I with her niece and husband had a great trip with these two.

It is only one bus line with several stops. 24 hour ticket is more than enough to get the full advantage/experience of this tour
