Big Bus shows Philadelphia! - We went to visit two of our grandsons in Ocean City, Maryland, in the summer of 2024 where they were working as lifeguards. We took the opportunity to see Philadelphia again and as we usually do, we boarded a multi-stop bus tour. We opted for the Big Bus company with which we often travelled elsewhere in the world. Once again, we did not disappoint because the route of the visit was very pleasant to us. The buses of this firm were clean, well conducted, with good guides. The sound system was functional and allowed a good choice of language. with headphones provided free of charge. The description of the route was interesting and informative. The buses passed with good regularity. The starting point is easy to find near the well-known Independence Hall.

A must do in Philadelphia! - There was so much to see and do at the various stops during the tour. We stayed on the bus for the entire tour listening to the guide share a wealth of information, before deciding which stops to enjoy. Everyone we encountered from the tour company was more than willing to answer questions and provide helpful tips to make your day easier and more productive. It’s wonderful tour!

Everything you need to know about Philly in 90 minutes - So nice to have an actual human narrator rather than a recorded description. Our guide had an encyclopedic knowledge of and love for Philadelphia. My wife and I do lots of hop-on-hop-off buses around the world and this was one of the best.

Great way to see the city and learn some fun facts. Probably better on a quieter weekend if possible. Worth experiencing - Instructions could be more precise. Went on Memorial Day weekend and it was crowded. Had to wait at one of the stops for 2 buses until we could get the return trip. On the plus side, the narrator provided some very interesting information about the history of Philadelphia and the driver navigated the streets and traffic expertly.

Very disappointing!:-( - We bought the big bus tickets before arriving in the United States, taking the formula "unlimited 1 day". Sightseeing bought Big Bus Tour in this city and it is frankly less well organized and equipped: -you have to signal the driver when he arrives at the stop to be sure he stops! - the audio guide version does not work in French, there is just music looping when there is sound... - unable to follow live on the app the location of the buses, it did not work!!

Underwhelming experience - Beautiful day, lovely weather, but tour guide was ill and she coughed and weezed so much we were unable to hear her tour commentary. It was very distracting and she should not have been working in her condition. Also the hop on hop off didn't work well as bus would drop off but then not pick up for up to 45 minutes late per stop.
