Great into to the city - Great intro to the city. It covers a lot of ground in 1-1/2 hours, and I especially loved that the narrative was live (as opposed to a taped recording on many other similar tours I've done in other cities). Our guide (Walter?) was knowledgeable and amusing, highly recommended.

We were able to get off and see the sites we wanted a closer look at and then get right back on another bus for the rest of the tour. Nice and informative tour guides!

Philadelphia Sightseeing - Efficient way to get around to see Philadelphia sights. Never waited more than 10 minutes for a bus since ticket was good on red or brown bus. Wish you didn't have to start at stop 1 but a shuttle pickup at our hotel helped get us there. If you have the time, recommend a 2 day ticket so you have time to visit more attractions.

Short visit - We were only in Philly for a day and a half and this was a great way to see the sights and learn about the history of the city. The guide was very informative and the option to get off and in was a plus!

Philly Tour - The Hop-on and Hop-off is the best way to see the city and learn about all the history. Then you can decide the places to revisit and spend some extra time.

The part we liked was the... - The part we liked was the flexibility of doing the whole tour or getting off at a certain stop. The problem was getting back on the bus. They didn’t come every 20 minutes as advertised. The app did not help because the time posted was not accurate. Lastly - inside the bus was very stuffy. The ability to crack the windows would have been so helpful.
