Loved the Philidelphia Hop On Hop Off Bus! So much fun to drive through the city and have a live person narrate as you drove by historical sights. It was very informative, entertaining, and lots of fun learning about the city. I have done this one a few years back and it was worth doing again. I would highly recommend it!

I purchased the two day pass and used every minute of each day. As an extra, I heard two different guides and learned different things. One day, I took it out to the zoo (which was fabulous) and since it was during a slow time, the guide suggested texting him when I was ready to return. He was most helpful and conscientious.

Visited Philly with firends from Florida. I went to Temple and live about 2 hours away. WE come to Philly 2-3 times a year. First time on the Big Bus, found out things that I didn't know. Very much worth it. One improvement would be for the company to use a QR code for mobile tickets.
