We did the whole tour all the way through which took 90 min. Then we went around again stopping at the places we wanted to see. Super convenient. I felt bad that I didn’t have much for a tip and they only could take cash tips so make sure you have some as they do a good job.

Bruce was very knowledgeable, and animated in his guided tour of the city. I also think that he should be commended for his ability to work under pressure, he had to stand the entire time, dodging branches and struggling to hold himself up on a moving bus. At times being tossed around a bit. But he still managed to keep the focus on the city

Alright, but would not do again

I would recommend this tour. Our guide was knowledgeable on the history of Philadelphia. The only downside was there are not enough buses operating at one time so you have to wait over an hour for another bus if you decide to hop off and sight see.

I got my tickets for Wednesday March 2nd, and I even call to confirm where the Tour would start, however , once I got to the place referred, just then the Tour Operator told me that they do not tour on Wednesday!!!! Since I was with my family and we did not wanted to miss the City Sightseeing of Philadelphia, we decided to take the tour the next day without complaints. Next day, the tour guide was so obnoxious, we could not really enjoy the tour , and on top of that, the bus did not make the stops that it was supposed to … the headset did not work either… horrible service !

Does anybody do their jobs appropriately anymore??
Paul_B
, Oct 2021
We waited over 90 minutes for a tour bus. The person answering the phones did not know that buses were being rerouted and told us to just wait! When we finally went to the home station where buses wait to take off, we were told they were being rerouted! What a waste of a morning!

Mike has researched his facts and shares his love of Philadelphia in an interesting presentation. We felt safe with Kiana behind the wheel, especially after an unexpected detour.

These type of excursions are only as good as the tour guide and driver. Both were excellent! The guide was knowledgeable, funny and helpful. The driver was amazing getting in and out of Philly traffic and narrow streets. Definitely recommend this tour

It was ninety-five degrees and miserable as far as heat. However, our guide was a trooper and was wittily entertaining. It was a great way to get an overview of the city.

Fun with kids

Very glad we took the tour instead of trying to do it ourselves. On top of the bus was awesome. The kids loved when we'd have to duk for the tree branches! I only wish we could have done a tour at night but I would definitely recommend to any tourist looking to see the sights!

Don’t Get off the Bus
Sally_M
, Jun 2021
The first day we rode the red loop around to get our bearings. Sitting on top was like whack a mole with “duck on the right” and “duck on the left” to avoid tree branches. The guide was good. The second day we made the mistake of getting off for the Rocky Steps. We waited 95 minutes for the next bus. No one told us we could have hopped on the brown Big Bus. It was not a good experience!
