Traveler reviews
Great intro to the city (...
Great intro to the city ( if you haven’t been there before). Nice combination of history and folklore.
Terrible no notice or anything
They canceled last minute and didn’t even notify me. Me and my family were standing outside waiting until I called
time tables subject to errors
advertised as hop on any stop but then must exit at specific stop to get prepaid online ticket validated. time tables differed between website and printed map. lost over an hour waiting for a bus that didn't arrive as scheduled.
HISTORY AT BEST
The historical tour was good but had a hard time finding where to start and how to show tickets on phone. Also since I use a cane I could not go to second floor of Betsy Ross House or First Congress Hall. My son was disappointed not to be able to see Independence Hall as we didn't know about coming earlier in morning. Was glad to see Liberty Bell. The talk on the bus was especially good. I would not advise anyone handicapped or using a cane to try this tour.
Fun and Educational Tour
Nick was an excellent guide in Philadelphia. He was engaging, friendly, and fun ~ and he must be the best tour guide in Philly!
