Philadelphia Sightseeing Tours is a Certificate of Excellence Winner!

We only had a relatively short time in Phily so wanted to see as much as possible. The hop on hop off bus tour was fantastic... we didn't even hop off. Our guide Warren was amazing - so knowledgeable and just a really great guy. Would recommend this tour to anyone in town.

Overwhelmingly satisfied with each department of this company. The women at the desk of the buses' starting point were very friendly and approachable, they didn't stalk us down the sidewalk for attention. The bus came at the exact time of when they said the bus would. And was prompt at each stop as well. The tour guides were very entertaining and kept the bus at a great speed for some great photo taking. We lost our wallet in the bus and contacted the office. They got right to work with going through each bus thoroughly to confirm if they found it. At first they did not but that did not stop them from continuing to look. They went through the other bus that we came back on from and found it there almost halfway through the day. Called us right away and made arrangements to send it over to our address. All I can say is they went above and beyond to make sure they covered every ground. That shows extreme loyal customer service. Can't wait to go on again!

Fantastic. Best way to see the city. I brought my mother and her best friend to Philly as a Mothers day gift. They are both in their 70s. Walking long distances is not a good option for them. Tour company had a shuttle pick us up in front of our hotel and drop us at the starting point for bus tour. We did the 2 day option which worked out perfect. 1st day we pretty much just rode the loop to see where all the sites were and get a lay for the land. 2nd day we got off at the specific places we wanted to spend more time touring. Hopped back on and back to hotel. Would highly recommend this tour. The ladies commented several times on what a wonderful time they had and how much of the city they were able to see by doing this bus tour. We are already planning our next trip.

Me and my girlfriend had a fun time on this bus tour, all the guides were informative but we especially loved earnest allot as he knew alot and was funny and knew alot, especially movie landmarks which I loved alot!!! Definitely will take this tour again if given the chance too.

We were only in Philadelphia one night and two days so we decided to do a bus tour to save time. We loved this tour! Warren was our guide, he was well informed and had a comical delivery that spiced it up. We saw several things that we would not have known about or had time to see on our own. I would highly recommend this company!

Had a wonderful Saturday afternoon with out of town guests. Even though I grew up in Philadelphia, the tour had some very unique facts about the town I was never aware of. Our tour guide, Alexa, was a very informative and interactive host. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who will be visiting the Center City area of Philadelphia. Their main start location is Old City, but if you want to hop on and off to see some sites, you can do this too.

The Top Tours of Greater Philadelphia

Go on a guided venture by foot, horse, car, segway, bike, boat and more….

Copied to Clipboard

You can learn a lot about Philadelphia just by strolling around. (After all, we’re talking about one of the most walkable cities in the country .) But when you want to dig a little (or a lot) deeper, a guided tour is the way to go — and Philly’s tour game is strong.

A wide range of local tour companies offer lots of entertaining and informative options from must-see history to iconic food and from varied architecture to colorful murals. Expert guides show you around during a walk — or by car, bus, Segway, bike or even kayak.

And the sightseeing fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. Those who come out at night can join tours that showcase a different side of the city after dark and call upon spirits from beyond (if you’re into that sort of thing).

Filadelfia Coffee Estate & Antigua tour

Leslee gazes upon Merced Church and Monastery

For Christmas 2015 we ported in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala and started our holiday with the Filadelfia Coffee Estate & Antigua tour.  This began with a 90 minute ride by charter bus to the estate.  Upon arrival the grandness of the estate was quickly understood.  This was by far the largest and most advanced coffee estate that we will have visited on this cruise.  We first began by taking a short walk to the Plantation fields.  There we saw row after row of the coffee bean plant.  Our guide gave an in-depth lecture on the coffee bean, showed us the grafting of the coffee bean plant and we each got an opportunity pick raw beans.  Afterwards we made our way into the milling rooms, the drying patios and the bagging/production area.  As we had just visited a coffee estate the day before it was a bit repetitive but everything here was on a much larger scale.

At the conclusion of the tour we headed to the patio area of the estate where the gift shop was also located.  Here we sat on the patio and we’re treated to a steak lunch.  As I sat on the veranda eating my lunch, enjoying dessert and drinking their amazing coffee, I was looking directly at Volcán de Agua Volcano which towers more than 11,500 ft and dominates the landscape.  It was simply amazing.

Next we boarded the bus and headed to Antiqua .  I found it interesting that Antigua charges a toll for buses to enter the city.  We began our walking tour near the city center and quickly made our way to city hall to arrive at 12 noon.  At first I didn’t know why, then a large barrage of firecrackers began exploding and continued on for upwards of 20 minutes.  This was in keeping with a Christmas Day tradition in Antiqua and occurs only at exactly 12 noon on December 25th.  Next we admired the Parque Central and its bustling tradespeople trying to sell us their wares.  This was much like being in a Caribbean port and being chased or stalked by the vendors.  Once we tore ourselves away from the chaos we headed up the street to the Antigua Arch where again a local tried to convince us that he owned the street and for a fee he would give us a tour.

As we moved through town, we visited  La Merced Church and the Jade Factory and Museum .  What was interesting about the tour was that the curator, Mary Lou Ridinger had been on the ship 2 days earlier telling us all about Jade.  All in all we got some nice shots of the town and surrounding scenery and re-boarded the bus for the return trip to the ship.
