Ride on the this authentic London sight-seeing bus.
Take a look around Philadelphia from the top of an authentic London sightseeing bus as you see all the best sights of the city that's home to the Liberty Bell, the nation's first zoo, Grace Kelly and the Philly cheesesteak sandwich! You'll see where George Washington served most of his presidency and where the nation's first flag was probably sewn by Betsy Ross.

Climb up the Rocky steps in front of the Museum of Art in the footsteps of Stallone, visit the new-age shops along South Street, see the animals in America's very first zoo, see the home where Benjamin Franklin lived and take in the sheer beauty of America's largest urban green space, Fairmount Park. Founded in 1682, Philadelphia has always been a hot vacation spot, and you'll see it all in style! You'll also have the opportunity to hop off at more than 20 sites around the City of Brotherly Love — take off and see the city or sit back and enjoy the entertaining and informative tour.

Customer Reviews
Great way to get an overview of the city. The pass says it is good for 24hrs which actually means 2 days because they operate basically from 9:45 am til 5:15 pm so I think it is an excellent value. The only down side is the waiting time between buses which was 45 mins between stops. We were only in Philly for 1 day unfortunately so we didn't take full advantage of the service. I would highly recomend this tour to anyone seeing Philly for the first time!

-Marilyn Young, Boise, ID
I live close to Philly. We belong to the zoo and the Franklin Institute, so we're down there all the time, but my son is very into American history at the moment, and walking to each historical site would be impossible, espacially in the summer heat. Frankly I felt silly getting tickets on a tourist bus, but we had such a spectacular time, I think we may try the duck tour next!! The guide on the Big Bus was informative and funny, we got off and delved into some of the sites a little further, and then were picked up and taken to the next. It was like hiring a private car, only better!

-Kristen Koseski, Newtown, PA
DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE THING - WE ACTUALLY RODE IT TWICE AND NOW WISH WE HAD RODE IT MANY MORE TIMES. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS!!!!
