Big B Bus tour - Ernest and his driver Shirley were Awesome!! Ernest was very knowledgeable of the history of Philadelphia and very entertaining.

Girls vaca. - Getting off at the museum & having Italian Ice. It was very informative. Loved the architecture. Guide was very good & friendly.

Hop on hop off bus tour - This was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about the city of Philadelphia. The tour guides were so informative. They made it a lot of fun.

Awesome - AWESOME experience, they even waited on me. The ride was so informative, they are really good at explaining things as we go by historic sites. I highly recommend this tour for your travel plans.

Must Experience It - Best part was the stop at the Reading Terminal Market... you need to eat and experience all the food that are available there...

Great for Getting Around! - These buses are somewhat accessible if you don’t mind sitting where you can’t really see out the windows. There’s only one spot for wheelchair. You’ll need to transfer to a seat for any type of enjoyment. The best tour is if you can sit on the top level. Make sure you dress warm if it’s not summer! Sit on the inside and you’ll get great pictures!

A Bum Start to a Good Tour - We purchased from Viator 4 tickets for the downtown Philadelphia, Hop-on Hop-off bus. The Viator site said we could buy our tickets on-line and board the bus at any one of the about 22 stops in downtown Philadelphia. In fact, the first time we tried to board a 2 decker bus at stop 6, the driver refused to allow us on the bus. We were told that we had to secure paper tickets at “Stop #1.” We took an Uber to stop #1, where we waited 10 minutes after we received a paper ticket. It took almost 50 minutes to buy tickets and get onto a bus. Never again. That said the tour guide knew Philly inside and out. We were thrilled by all we learned.

Book on the street not thru viator - Paying 100% more to book using viator instead of buying tickets from a streetside kiosk. Total ripoff. We had five different tour guides and none of them had any charm or personableness guides need to keep mic out of wind when talking and talk slower and more succinctly

Good for the family- covers a lot - We had 8 people on our party, including a 7 and 9 year old. We all enjoyed and learned a lot from the narration. The staff both on and off the bus was helpful and kind. We took advantage of the hop on, hop off feature, and this worked at most stops. However, we ended waiting 40 minutes at one stop and started walking the route. We ended up finding staff on route a few stops away and they updated us on when next bus would come. I’m wondering if lunch time affected what was supposed to be 25 minutes between buses. This extra waiting is the only thing preventing a 5 star rating, other than this frustrating wait, we had a great time, learned and saw a lot of Philadelphia history.

Hop "On" function doesn't work! - Guides were very knowledgable - but once you hop off the bus, GOOD LUCK getting back on! The time tables on the map are a joke! I had to call the company several times to ask how long the wait would be at several stops, and the answer was always 15-30 minutes. 30 minutes past when they were supposed to be there, and we'd already been waiting 15 minutes? Better to treat it as a bus tour, stay on for the whole ride, and then get yourself around Philadelphia separately. Uber is pretty cheap too.
