We were in town for the Eagles game on Sunday and had one extra day to try to see the city. We chose to see the city on the sight seeing buses. I spent a couple hours the night before researching which one to use. Come to find out each bus company honored the others tickets. We loved this bus, it was quick and easy to do, very easy to book and the tour guides do a great job. I hate to say it but we enjoyed this just a much as the Eagles game. Anyone wanting to get the most out of a short trip, this is a must do! GO BIRDS!!

Willy was funny and engaging as a tour guide and helped remember facts about the history of the city. It made up for the lack of air conditioning on the inside of the bus. The upstairs open air section is better for airflow but theres no cover so bring a hat or a parasol.

It was a great experience. We rode three times and learned new things each time. Definitely the best way to enjoy the city sites. They sell tickets at several doors in the city, but you can only redeem an online voucher at the first stop. I recommend buying them on the street so you can get on where you are at—we had to walk past two stops to get to the first stop. It was cold and it would have been nice to get on closer to where we parked.
