CoupleVerified bookingToday5/5The key part of any tour is the guide, and all of yours are top notch. They were all very knowledgeable about the city and it's history. We enjoy the day and plan on using your service again tomorrow.SSherilee C
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago3/5We rode 3 different buses throughout the day. All 3 drivers were great and 2 of the 3 guides were decent. Unfortunately the first guide of the day was quite rude to multiple people, including a couple who clearly had a language barrier, and he didn't really remember many of the tour-guide facts - and kept mixing up the dates on the things he did talk about. We didn't realize how much he left out of his presentation until we heard the other guides speak. That guide gets a 1 star, everyone else gets 5 stars.JJennifer R
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago3/5Seats need to face forward so you can look out the windows. Bench seats facing toward the inside of a tour bus is frustrating. We booked this tour on a rainy day with the expectation that we were going to see the city. We had to sit facing the inside of the bus which made it hard to twist and look out the window behind us. Or, we had to awkwardly stare across the isle at the window being blocked by someone's head.LLuiza H

Additional Information
-
Before you begin your tour, please head to Stop 1 (The Bourse Building) or Stop 5 (Reading Terminal Market) to receive a validated paper ticket from an official sales agent. Once you have this paper ticket, you can hop on and off freely at any of the other stops on the tour.
-

-
Stop 1 (The Bourse Building) marks the start and end point of your tour. We recommend starting from this point so you don't miss out on information regarding detours and inaccessible stops.
