The tour guide Sam (Samantha?) was GREAT! Very knowledgeable,very fun, very active. Totally made our first trip to Philadelphia more fun than we thought we would have! Looking
We had two different guides during the day. Both were knowledgeable and entertaining. Great way to get an overview of the city before heading out on our own.
One tour guide really great! Other spoke so quickly as though reading a script - no one could understand. Also, wish more busses on the road - had to take Uber twice during day to ensure we could get to more points on map. That was disappointing!
Easy to order and use Tour guide was loud clear and made the experience interesting Saw things i passed often but never noticed Best way to see the city, jad a friend from England woth us and she felt she saw the city comprehensively I think everyone should see the city this way
The speakers were great with tons of historical information, city facts and funny stories. And the drivers.......I don't know how they do it!! It's amazing how they can maneuver those massive busses with the ten billion other drivers, busses, ongoing construction, work trucks and just the general lack of road width and overall space.
Purchased tix on-line without problems. What would have made the tour awesome you have nothing to do with: weather, it rained and was windy. Sunshine would have enhanced the experience unfortunately it was the only day we had. Riding through old city under the canopy of trees was quite a sight to see.
Great way to see the places from a distance so that you know which ones to go and spend time visiting. Loved it
Waiting longer for buses that anything & never a seat up top -- we ended up walking. Waste of $78 😔
The tourguides were very entertaining and informative. I am still sharing the facts I learned on the tour.
The guide presented a lot of great information but, was hard to hear.
The adventure was great and we really enjoyed it. The buses were quite frequent and the route very interesting. Thank you

Our guide was very knowledgeable of the various architecture, history and art in the Philly area. He pointed so much as we toured Philly. Very much worth the cost and time.
Experience Philadelphia's unique history and beauty while enjoying spectacular views as expert guides share fascinating facts and fun stories about the city and its people.
