We'd been on this bus tour in New York, and Washington, DC and London and decided to continue with the company for Philadelphia. It's worth every penny. You couldn't possible see all these sights in a day if you did it alone. We now want to try and visit every country that Big Bus Tours operates in! The only issue I found was that the mobile app didn't seem to include Philly so they definitely need to update the app.

Hello Mel C Thank you for choosing Philadelphia Trolley Works & Big Bus,. I am pleased you enjoyed your tour experience, and that you used our tour to enhance your visit to the historic city of Philadelphia. Our tour includes 27 stops with many, many sites and attractions along the way. Using our hop on /hop off features allows you to maximize what you can see if your time is limited. Happy Travels!

We've been on similar hop-on-hop off bus tours in other cities, and this one was one of the better ones in terms of stops/attractions and interesting places to see. The tour guides were generally more knowledgeable than what we've seen on other bus tours. However, the buses ran too infrequently, and we're often overcrowded. Our family of five had to wait for "the next bus" several times when a full one pulled up to the stop where we'd been waiting for 20+ mins. A festival in downtown Philly closed part of the normal tour route one of the days we were there, and the Big Bus company did not bother to put up temporary signs or attempt to notify riders as to how the route would be changed...making for a frustrating experience. Although this tour stops at some great locations, that's more because Philly is a great city to visit. Overall, the hop-on-hop off buses are not an efficient way to get around the city. You spend far too long waiting and too little time moving to where you want to be.

Hello Kevin O, Thank you for choosing Philadelphia Trolley Works & Big Bus. Thank you for acknowledging our tour guides. They work hard to perfect their craft and take pride in providing an informative and engaging tour. I apologize that events in the city impacted your tour experience. Very often, road closures are spontaneous during events in response to crowds & when known in advance, sales and tour staff do inform guests. Information is also posted on our website when tour detours are known in advance. I do apologize for any inconvenience you and your family experienced.

I love bus tours in the big cities I go to for an experience more than I normally would get on my own. This was one of the best because our tour guide Ginger was very knowledgeable. I also enjoyed talking to Clark at the front desk in the visitors centre who was dressed in costume and gave me lots of information about the city of Philadelphia. Best value on our trip. They also have discount coupons in their brochures.
