We rode on this trolley but it was part of a Disney Adventure with a tour guide, so I'm not sure how this works if you are not on a tour.

if your short for time this is the way to go - My only regret is that the last bus leaves at 5:00 pm which is early in the summer when there is at least 2 more hours of daylight.

Hello 389kellis, Thank you for choosing Philadelphia Trolley Works & Big Bus. I am pleased you enjoyed the tour. It is an easy, convenient way to see the sites and attractions with limited time in your schedule. Almost all of the attractions close at 5 pm, so the last tour, leaving at 5, makes it way around the tour route, returning to the final stop at 630 pm. On Saturdays, the last tour leaves at 5:30 pm. We do offer a night tour at 8 pm, our Philly By Night tour, runs nightly, May through October.

...was informative, interesting, and easily accessible; we bought the two day pass for a few extra dollars just in case our schedule changed (it did!). The trolley/bus/mapped route stops were clearly marked. Buses were clean. Guide comments were smart and often entertaining. The bus drivers were exceptionally adept at maneuvering through some tricky traffic situations. Beautiful city.
