Big Bus Philadelphia - Hop-on Hop-off Tours

This Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Tour, operated by Philadelphia Trolley Works, is one of the best ways to get to know the city when you first arrive.

Each double-decker bus tour is narrated by a fully-trained, friendly Philly guide, so you’ll learn all about the city’s history, culture, dining spots and, of course, where to get the most authentic Philly cheesesteak. You'll see plenty of famous landmarks along the way too, including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, Memorial Hall, and more.

Choose to ride one comprehensive loop around the sights on a 90-minute, non-stop tour, or hop off at any of the 25+ stops along the way. You'll be able to rejoin the tour whenever you wish and buses run every 15-20 minutes, with departures from 5th and Market streets.

In addition to live, English commentary on all buses, there are six pre-recorded languages available for the tour that you can listen to on the headphones provided.

This tour is a great way to experience the ‘City of Brotherly Love.’ See the steps that Rocky climbed, enjoy a Philadelphia soft pretzel, retrace the steps of our Founding Fathers, visit America’s first zoo, and more.
