The tour guide on the first bus we took was awesome! He was informative and funny. Very knowledgeable. We road the whole trip with him. Then asked for advice/recommendations after. We then got on a second bus to take us to another stop and that tour guide thought he was funny but was not as good as the first one

It is always great to have the person narrating have a sense of humor--the trip is so much more enjoyable. One female seemed very unsure of herself but the rest of our guides were fantastic!! We always get on the trolley to see what we really want to visit and this gives us the best overview of the area.

Informative narratives. Prompt -every 15 minutes. Many stops to visit. Crowded on a Saturday but always seats available. We had great weather which made it even more enjoyable sitting up on the deck. Worth doing if you are visiting Philly.

    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.

    • If you've purchased a paper ticket directly from the Visitor Center, you can start your tour at any of the stops and don't have to head to Stop 1 or 5.
