Great tour to see a lot of Philly within little time. During the operating hours you can go as often as you want with the bus an hop on and off as you wish. The tourguides were great and told us a lot about the history, buildings an so on. They made a lot of jokes during the trip 😉 very good thing to do in Philly!

We had a great guide and driver. They had to work around a protest near City Hall but handled the bus and tour amazingly through the crowds. I learned a great deal about the history of Philadelphia and some of the interesting landmarks. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you don't have a lot of time and want to see as much as you can!
