Overall rating

based on 618 reviews

Best hop on hop off tour we have ever taken! This was our second time taking it… several years apart. Both times we had a live tour guide and both times the guide was awesome! Philadelphia has so many visually interesting landmarks and iconic areas to visit. The tour gets up close to all areas, buildings and statues. We found most everything to be within a quick few minutes walk of the stops. If you’ll be in town several days it would be worthwhile to get a 2 day pass.

I took the tour with Seamus and had a lovely time! I learned a lot, had some good laughs and left feeling like I knew a lot more about Philly and the history of the American Revolution.

Sargeant very knowledgeable and certainly made our Philadelphia historic experience very positive.

Shamus was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I would highly recommend this introductory tour.

It was great, everyone should definitely give a try
