This is a great way to get an overall good look at Philadelphia before or after you visit specific sites in-depth. We spent two days in Philly visiting many historical locations and then decided to take the hour long bus tour to end a busy day with a relaxing tour. It was fun and the tour guide told us many things about the city we had never heard before. If the NFL Draft hadn't caused many streets to be closed off it would have been even better. Tickets are required, but it also doubles as public transport. You can hop on and off at any stop and get on another later. They run every 15 minutes.

Good way to get around town and see the sights. Unfortunately the NFL draft was in prep stage while I was there so the route travelled was altered.

My takeaways: 1) We had a very limited time to spare so this was a perfect way to get a full overview of downtown philly. 2) Kids loved the double decker bus (so did I) the line was a little bit of a wait to get on but luckily it was a beautiful day and the guides were very friendly and easy to talk to. 3) I would have loved to see more of the Philadelphia Mint, Betsy Ross House, Constitution Museum, Liberty Bell, Rodin Exhibit, Penitentiary, Franklin Museum, Farmers Market, Philly Art Museum....etc...but we just didn't have the time to get on and off. 4) I wish that they sold water or beverages on the bus because it did get very hot and we were not really informed to bring drinks ahead of time. 5) It looked like at the very popular spots that it was a little difficult to always find a bus to get on because they were full. So keep that in mind. 6) The tour guide on the bus gave some fantastic, interesting and funny information about the city and its rich history. Very informative and worthwhile. Overall, we all had a really pleasant experience. It feels like you are right on top of the city. I will say this that if you are only going to ride the bus the whole way and not get off that it is a little difficult to hold the attention of young kids. They lost interest for the most part about halfway through. Can't wait to go back to Philly and check out all the stuff we missed.
