5Great service - always an interesting ride
Over a two day period the buses were in time. We experienced a variety of hosts and each shared different perspectives of the city. Our favorite was on the 3:00pm bus on Oct. 14 wish we had gotten his name. Every driver was extremely skilled - it is a challenge to navigate the traffic. We loved this experience and highly recommend.
5Take the bus!
The bus tour was great! Take the tour first then you know what you want to go back to see when you walk. Very informative!
5Great time in Philly!
It was a great overall experience. I got to see a ton of the city, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny.
3Wish We Had Known
Wish it had been stated more clearly that only one route (the main route) runs from Labor Day through Memorial Day. We wanted to visit the zoo and learned the Phlash pass was a better option for $5. Nice to know all of the bus companies allow you on their busses during off-season.
2Bait and Switch??
We obtained the 2025-2026 company brochure from an information kiosk. The one day Senior rate was $36. However, when at the sales desk on the street, the man told us the fee was $47. I showed him my brochure and this was his reply..."Oh, ya, we changed prices in February. The company is too cheap and do not want to throw out all the wrong brochures." Doesn't sit just right with me. Would like my $10 back
4Good way to see the historic parts of the city
Great way to get a quick overview of the city as well as transport. Rode the circle, then kept going back to Reading Market, had dinner, then walked back to my VRBO.
