Very worth while

That it is a wonderful overview of Philadelphia, especially if you’re in the city for one night. Also, if we were here longer we would definitely know places to spend more time. We missed our 6:00 pm tour and was grateful they called to tell us about the 8 pm tour!! The bus driver and narrator were excellent.

Our night tour guide and...

Our night tour guide and driver were great. The tour only lasted 60 minutes, not 90 as advertised…and I think it’s because it didn’t go to the Rocky steps for the photo opportunity. I think an event was causing traffic issues. Overall, very good time anyway.

3D tour on wheels!

Riding in the open air on top of a double decker bus puts you right in the action. My kids loved it! Passing under the beautiful tree branches while seeing the historic building was a treat! I highly recommend! It truly showed the beauty of the city! We were able to see everything in 3D instead of through a window. Very Cool! The Gide Walton was very knowledgeable and his Philly accent added to the experience!
