None - Good sightseeing of the important places in Phila, with commentary by the guides. Flexible way to stop at favorite places for a short visit.

Great orientation to Philadelphia - We purchased the two day package as we planned to orientate ourselves on the initial trip and then return to those spots we wished to see in more depth. It was a considerable walk from our hotel to the first place we could pick up the bus and we waited for quite a long time before the bus came. We managed to cover some of the must see sights on the first day but found that the buses had long time gaps between them and meant we spent a lot of time waiting . We also were not informed that the two bus companies had amalgamated and that we could have travelled on either with the same ticket. The second day was not able to be used to the full due to a police funeral which caused significant street closures in the areas we wished to visit. This was not the fault of the company but it did mean that we really wasted the second day of our ticket and were only able to use the bus for one stop. We have used these tourist buses in many other cities and felt that this one was not quite as good as others due to the considerable wait times for the next bus. The guides on the buses we did access, were very personable and quite entertaining.

Terrible, awful, rip off - Do not do not buy tickets for this tour. We got off the first stop and three buses have gone by all full and we cannot get back on all the buses are full when they come to this . We spent $160 for the four of us and we’ve been stranded at one of the stops for half an hour. We will not get our moneys worth on this tour as we are stuck in one spot. I can’t find a phone number to contact anyone about our chances of getting on. We were also very disappointed in our tour guide. There are no headsets for the English tour, which would be so helpful for the hearing challenged

A menace to pedestrians - Driver of bus #106 plate BA78795 wrapped corner of Market & 12th when I had the right-of-way walk signal, could have killed me.
