Overall rating

A great map to follow and know where and when to hop off and hop back on. Interesting and informative with a live guide. Guides for the most part were very animated and carried on a continuous commentary. Well worth the price.

The stops were great and we received a lot of good information about the city, the only thing that was bad was the cold weather

Tour was great. Jonathan shared some unknown facts of Philadelphia and our founding fathers!

The guide was great. The sights were incredible. What a beautiful city

Carla was a great guide. I really enjoyed. Highly recommended.
