Like to do this style of tour whenever I’m in a city for the first time. We got a 2 day pass and it was generally good. One thing I will say is that this tour seemed a lot more scripted than others I’ve been on. Because of the location of our hotel relative to the stops, we rode one section of the tour quite a few times and every tour guide told the same stories and many of the same jokes even.

But the morning taking the entire round trip with j and Bernard. Bernards a great driver and Jay is a great speaker. He was very really what we saw with detail yet humor. We set up top and it was comfortable and a great View. Once we stopped for lunch we did the Hop On Hop off at different locations. The bus is came back every 25 minutes and was very consistent. We bought the two day pass as it was only $30 more for the second day for the family. Overall a great value.

Went to Philly for a quick in and out wedding over Memorial Day weekend. First visit so I decided to do the Big Bus, (because I enjoy a great hop on hop off experience), before heading back home. Well I was with my Mom who is cold-natured and did not want to ride up top because it was a tad chilly. Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the point was for a rider to be able to look out of the window when the tour guide says, "and to your left, you will find" or "ahead on the right you will see..." well, the Driver obviously thought the Big Bus was a city bus! He kept letting on rider after rider even when he KNEW there were no seats upstairs or downstairs. There were people standing in the aisle with their behinds in the faces of those who were seated, (like my Mother and I), which was NOT A GOOD LOOK. Our Tour Guide was FABULOUS. I really enjoyed the tour up until stop 22 (out of 27) when it got way too crowded and noisy to see or hear. Additionally the Big Bus is pet friendly and a man got on with not one but TWO dogs seated in the middle aisle. You can just about guess how awkward that was. I am a dog lover but man it was all a bit much for me between the dogs, the butts and the noise. Lastly I probably wouldn't be so pissed but it was $30 a piece!!! It's not like I was riding around for a dollar.
