Big Bus Tours Philadelphia

Big Bus Tours in Philadelphia was a fantastic way to see the city! No stressing about directions or parking, just hop on and off as you please. Our tour guide was incredibly dedicated (he even got hit by a branch while pointing out a landmark!), and the drivers were super helpful, even dropping us at Reading Terminal Market after the last stop. Tip: Start early to maximize your hop-on, hop-off experience and see as much as possible! 🚌

This is a nice tour if you are looking to know more about Philadelphia and its history. This bus tour links you to almost all the other museum attractions. The buses are good. The guides are knowledgeable on the history but the lady we had would get too distracted with things outside of the tour. She would also yell at guests when it was a communication gap. The seats were not comfy after some time. Other than that the tour was good to help understand and learn about Philly.

I had a great time. Dom is a skilled driver. Bayyyybay. He knows he can drive. The duo was awesome. There was a woman driver who was a great driver. The busses were clean and everyone was friendly and fun. Luv the fact you visit si many great sites and learn fun facts and history. It's worth the ticket (which is reasonable). It's definitely something you should try when you visit.

Probably not the most informative tour as far as the amount of history info given but still very good and by far the most entertaining! It’s technically a Hop-On-Hop-Off tour but once we got on with tour guide Matt we didn’t want to get off and so stayed on listening to him for the rest of the route! He was hilarious, super nice and friendly and when I talked to him after the tour he even gave us some good restaurants to try! I wish it had been like 3 hours and so a little more in depth but it was still well worth the money!

Interesting tour BUT after we bought the tickets they took off before we got on and had to wait 20 for the bus that comes “ every 5 to 10 minutes”. Then we and over a dozen others waited 50 minutes at the penitentiary for a pick up. We called at 35 minutes and 3 Plash buses later( $5 for the day verses the $37 for ours). They told us they were bunched up and the first one would probably be full ( yup) That’s a lot of money to wait almost an hour! I can’t tell you what a bummer it is to wait, so a tour and then stand on a corner for 50 minutes😩 An Uber and would have been a cheaper and more entertaining way to see the super cool attractions here in Philly

The hop-on, hop-off Big Bus Tour is an excellent activity for any tourist in Philadelphia. The route is a loop with around 20 different stops with pick ups every 20 minutes on the day we went. There is a tour guide to provide information along the route. Sit on the top deck for great views and photo opportunities, and hop off whenever you want to explore something new. Loved it!

Hop on Hop off buses are the best way to indoctrinate yourself in a new city. I love to book these buses where available. They are set up with lots of stops along the route, each near a major tourist attraction. I love to ride all the way around one time. Once you've gone around once, on the next loop, you can start exiting near attractions you want to see. Explore then get back on and get off at your next desired location. I found this one extremely enjoyable as they have a live guide narrating the sites of interest and pointing out the stops to get off, communicating with the driver, and letting us know when the next bus would arrive. The convenience as well as the cost savings from eliminating other means of transportation makes this an excellent choice.

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, helped us decide what to do with our visit. Enjoyed the ride and definitely recommend this!
