I had some friends in town and wanted to take them on a tour of Philadelphia, and I see the double decker Big Busses everyday on my lunch in Philly so I thought it would be a great opportunity to try it.
The Big Bus itself was a great experience and I'd highly recommend it to first time visitors and lifelong natives. There are 23 stops that you can hop on and off at with your day pass, stopping nearby major sites within Philly like the Art Museum (by the Rocky Statue), City Hall, Reading Terminal, the old city area with stops at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, Betsy Ross's house, etc., and these are just a few of the places we were able to stop at and learn about during the day.
We were able to see everything in the city that I wanted to take them to and it was convenient being able to jump on the bus all throughout the city. The real benefit was the informative tour guides as they provided information I didn't even know about a city I've lived in for 23 years, it was something our friends from NC really appreciated learning about such a historic city.
If you ask me, I highly recommend this tour and think it's a great value for a guided tour AND transportation throughout the day. Sit up top for great views of the city, and I'd also recommend riding the full tour through to learn all of the interesting info that the guides provide and then using the hop on/hop off feature to see the areas you want to explore
