Reviews

we are locals and enjoyed the tours and would highly reccomend this tour to any visitors

theresa h., United States, 12-2009

good deal, cheaper even from the operating bus company

writaja m., United States, 11-2009

well priced/clean/excellent tour guide

james w., United States, 10-2009

it was the very best way to see the city with such a short stay

SCOTT C., United States, 09-2009

Best view is from the top. Unfortunately the fumes from the bus are overpowering. Not every bus is the maroon bus pictured on the website. Most are colorful and have different advertisements so it was confusing to determine if they were the correct tour company. It was raining on part of our tour and our seats were wet. The guide gave us some paper towels and when you looked at the paper towel after wiping, you better pray you didn't wear white pants! The seats are narrow and so is the staircase. If you are long-legged, I suggest you grab a seat to yourself. We rode the entire 90 min trip and then stayed on to plan out where our stops were. Each guide adds or takes away from the trip based on how little/much info is provided. This can't be helped and should not be held against the guide. I would give this tour a higher rating if they switched to propane buses instead of diesel.

matt t., United States, 08-2009

This was a wonderful tour and we had a very professional and educated guide, she made that tour an unforgivable experience...

Peter K., United States, 08-2009

We had one day to see the sites of Philadelphia. This tour is the best way to see everything and hear about it. You can hop on and off easily, and catch another bus every 30 min. Each tour guide has a little bit different things to tell, so you learn something new constantly. We will definitely take this tour again when visiting Philadelphia.

Kelvin G., United States, 07-2009

It was fabulous, I would highly recommend it to anyone. We could see so much from the top of the bus, I felt safe at all times.

Linda C., United States, 07-2009

The double decker tour bus of Philadelphia was a great way to learn and see many of the sites within the city. The bus guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The main complaint of the tour surrounds the ease of finding the pick up location. We picked up the tour at the zoo and the pick up point was not well marked. We were told by zoo staff to wait in one location but then saw the bus go by several times. When we called the tour company, the staff were not very helpful and more interested in blaming the problem on others (the internet site where the tickets were purchased, etc) then helping us to remedy the problem. The actual pick up location was not an ideal spot to wait with small children. It was across the street from the zoo at a very busy intersection with very little sidewalk to wait safely for the arrival of the bus.

Amy C., United States, 07-2009

What a great experience! I recommend to anyone, especially if it's your first time to Philadelphia, that you go on this tour! Gives you a great overview of the city, especially if you don't have much time, like me! The next time, I would definitely stay longer in Philadelphia so I can see more!! Because of such a great experience with the Philadelphia tour, I also used the same website to book a NYC tour for me and my mom! That was also an incredible experience!! Great job by your company and everyone involved! Will and have already recommended you to others!

Twanda C., United States, 07-2009

Great tour!

Michael S., United States, 07-2009

Wonderful!! Tour guides are very knowledgeable and friendly. They kept us interested and laughing the whole time.

Janis ., United States, 07-2009

The tour guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The sights we saw were fantastic on the upstairs of the bus.

David D., United States, 07-2009

This tour was excellent - the ability to catch the tour at Reading Terminal Market was a plus as it was close to the train station where we arrived and departed

Mary L., United States, 07-2009

Very informative tour provided by guides who obviously have perfected their knowledge of the city and points of interest. Great value in my opinion.

Fred C., United States, 06-2009

Outstanding tour of beautiful city. The employees providing the narration on the two buses we used during the day were exceptionally well informed and professionally warm in their presentations.

Olena M., United States, 07-2008

Klaus D., Germany, 06-2008

My husband and I very much enjoyed the trolley tour. The tour guides were very knowledgeable about all the sites of Philadelphia. We learned alot about the city from them.

Doreen M., United States, 05-2008

Ensure before you use the tour bus that you will be picked up at each designated stop, not only dropped off.

Sharon A., United States, 04-2008

ALL YOUR STAFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, FROM THE TICKET AGENT, TOUR DRIVER AND TOUR GUIDE

sally s., United States, 11-2007

The tour was very good and educational. A quick easy way to see a lot of Philadelphia. Plus the opportunity to stop at many places along the way.
