Best tour ever!!!!! Tim and Nate were fantastic in driving us around the historical area and giving a hilarious yet informative tour. Tim gave great recommendations for food and coffee. Would highly recommend this tour.
BYOB tour was so much fun. Drinking repsonsibly and singing as we were driven through Philly was such a great experience. Everyone on the bus joined in as well as those we passed on the street. We even made some friends along the way too.
Nick and Sheila are national treasures! My son broke his foot but we still wanted to see Philly this was the perfect way and super fun. Smiles, laughs, new friends for 2 hrs and karaoke!! If you’re fun do this tour!
National treasures?! We might just have to print that out and frame it for Nick and Sheila! 👑 Thank you so much for the amazing review. We are so sorry about your son’s foot, but we’re absolutely thrilled that we could help keep his spirits high and show you both a great time around Philly. Karaoke, laughs, and new friends are what it’s all about! Wishing him a super speedy recovery, and we hope to sing with you both again soon!
Highly recommend going on a BYOB comedic tour of Philly! The tour guide was the best!! And after people on the street were cheering at us he said “Philly gets a bad reputation but we truly love our city and we want others to as well” and that’s the feeling he gave as well. And it’s just a fun tour! Would say beware of from being kids but even then it will still be fun. We had a great group!
Thank you so much for this incredible review! Hearing that our guide's love for Philadelphia shined through really hits close to home—we truly do love this city and want everyone who visits to feel that same energy. We’re thrilled you had a blast, connected with a great group, and got to experience the fun (and funny!) side of Philly. Thanks for the recommendation (and the heads-up for parents! 😉)—we hope to raise a glass with you again soon!
Our experience was amazing. We arrived to the area late and very close to our tour departure time. We had all our luggage with us but our driver Trina and Nick were amazing. They accommodated us very well past our expectations. Nick was very knowledgeable and our driver Trina (I hope I'm not saying her name wrong) was very pleasant and she made me laugh. Trina our driver took all the frustration I had in the beginning away and I left that day with a 😀. I would definitely do this again and again. Great Philadelphia hospitality.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We know how stressful travel days can be when you’re running behind with luggage in tow, so we’re thrilled that Nick and Trina (you got her name right!) were able to turn your day around. Taking you from frustrated to a big smile is the ultimate goal! Thank you for the wonderful shoutout to our team and for experiencing true Philly hospitality with us. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had a great time on this birthday trolley ride for my husband! they even sang happy birthday to him! Our guide Tim was awesome, he was funny and knew a lot about the city. we will be coming back for more!
Happy Birthday to your husband! 🥳 We are so glad you chose to celebrate his big day with us on the trolley. Tim is fantastic at making tours feel like a true celebration, and he'll be thrilled to hear he made the trip so memorable for you both. Thank you for the wonderful review, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another round of fun!
This was educational and entertaining. We had fun. He talked really fast, and well, the dad jokes were abundant.
Spot on! There’s nothing quite like getting your bearings with a quick immersion into Philly’s history. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope the rest of your adventures around Old City were just as great!
Great ride through the city. The guide, Tim, was really funny and knew everything around every corner. It was so fun. Also beer
Beer is important :) 🍻 Tim really does know every nook and cranny of the city (and how to keep the whole bus laughing while showing it off). History + laughs + beer is pretty tough to beat! Thanks for riding with us, and come back for another round anytime!
Heard this was a fun tour of Phily so we booked. It was awesome! Tim was our guide and he was really funny but also knew the history of everything so it was a good balance of info and entertainment. The fact that you can drink on the tour was icing on top. Would highly recommend
Drinks, laughs, and Philly history—the ultimate trio! 🥂 Thank you so much for the awesome recommendation! Tim really has that perfect formula down for keeping things informative without ever missing a punchline. We’re so glad the word-of-mouth lived up to the hype and that you had such a great time with us. Hope to raise another glass with you on board soon!
Great time highly recommend. Tour guide is phenomenal at his job. .......................... . .. ..
