installed the app, no problem at the gate

Anthony_K, Jan 2026

we went to longwood garden, museum of art, franklin institute, eastern state prison and penn state museum with no problem of the pass for 2 days. It saves us around at least $20 per person if buying tickets at the gate.

2 days in Philadelphia with city pass

Consie_M, Nov 2025

The big bus pass was super fun- we hopped on and off a few times and still ended up walking all over too - it’s a super walkable city so a combination of the bus option plus meandering wherever we wanted was perfect!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi there, we’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the Big Bus Pass! It’s great that you were able to take advantage of both the hop-on hop-off flexibility and the walkability of the city, that really is the perfect combination for exploring. Thanks so much for sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you on another Go City adventure soon!

Easy pass and great value for money

katy_e, Sep 2025

Pass was easy to use. Downloaded the app, this shows which activities you have to pre book. Emailed one company without any problems. Did more than we planned having bought a 2 day pass

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We are thrilled to receive your feedback. It would certainly boost our confidence as we strive to provide hassle free experience. Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We really appreciate the positive feedback. We're happy to hear you enjoyed using the pass while visiting one of our cities. Regards, Go City

A great pass to see many...

Agathe_E, Sep 2025

A great pass to see many attractions and save money! We got the one day pass and were able to do/see about five attractions.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re glad the Go City Pass helped you enjoy so many attractions in one day while saving money. It’s great to hear you were able to fit in five experiences!

No one scanned ticket...

Laura_M, Jul 2025

No one scanned ticket getting on bus, did not disclose transport by ferry was needed to aquarium. Purchased all inclusive pass Do not use!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with ticket scanning and the ferry transport to the aquarium. We understand how important clear information is for a smooth visit. We encourage customers to check the Know Before You Go section, which states that the aquarium is located on the Camden Waterfront in New Jersey, so we recommend considering the ferry as the best way to get there. Our All Inclusive Pass covers many attractions, and some require additional transport like ferries. Checking the Know Before You Go details can help plan your visit smoothly. We appreciate your comments as they help us improve. If you’d like to share more details or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our customer care team. We hope to provide you with a better experience next time.

We did the aquarium, zoo,...

Alissa_F, Jul 2025

We did the aquarium, zoo, and penitentiary in one day. There were zero issues with walking in and not having to wait. All activities were fantastic. Great value for the money!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

That sounds like an amazing day packed with adventure! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed smooth entry with no waiting and that all the activities exceeded your expectations.

Jill_P, Jul 2025

This is a great way to get around town and go to many attractions! We loved the Big B Bus and the Phlash.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring the city with the Big Bus. Using these convenient transport options is a fantastic way to see multiple attractions easily and comfortably. Thanks for sharing your experience, it’s great to hear you had such a fun and smooth way to get around!

Good value and easy to use

Rebecca_V, Apr 2025

Go City Pass was super convenient and sucha good value. We were able to go to 10 different places over two days that would have cost us way more to purchase individually.

Hello, We are beyond thankful for your review and we are so grateful for your kind words. Your feedback is extremely important to us. It is great to hear that you enjoyed using the pass from Go City. We hope to serve you in near future. Best Regards, Go City

Not worth the price.

Jeannette_B, Sep 2024

Bought a 3 day pass for me and my husband. Could only use the Big Bus for one day. Had to get Phlash bus tickets for the second day. And told I could get any bus passes fir the 3rd day. Also had to pay all admissions. Better to do it on your own day by day. the 2nd

Utter Chaos

Ray_M, Sep 2024

First use Big Bus. Parked car and walked to stop 17 waited and Big Bus drove right by us. Walked across street to find stop 8 for Big Bus and there was none. Took Lift to stop 1 found out Big Bus and Oldtown were interchangeable. Found Bow Tie Tour and went with them. The guide was OK but didn’t go to several of the places highlighted in your description of what they covered. Hopped on at Stop 1 of Big Bus. Reading stop was unavailable, after about an hour on Big Bus got off at stop 8 and left town.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Hello Ray, We appreciate you sharing your review with us. Your feedback is highly valued, and we're sorry to learn about your disappointing experience. To address this, please reach out to us at reviews@gocity.com with all the details of your order. Best Regards Go City

Misleading and false

Eden_A, Sep 2024

My ticket was “all inclusive 2 day pass” however it was anything but inclusive. The big bus Philadelphia manages (”Amir” and “Vace“) were rude and unhelpful when I attempted to rectify the problem and did not help at all. It was misleading and frustrating, not what I wanted to experience on vacation. I am happy to discuss further.

Good value nice experience in Philadelphia

Susan_Q, Sep 2024

The Go city package was worth it for the price gave us free entrances to Franklin institute Museum and American Revoluntary museum it was not great for the big bus hop on hop off as they said it would be about 25 minutes for each bus to come around and it more like 50 minutes. Check schedule ahead of time for Museum schedule as many were closed on Tuesdays

The Code Didn't Work

Out of date info on the app and more closed activities

Sharie_L, Aug 2024

The Go-City app said some things were closed and they were not. Others were closed that were listed as open. Another tour was canceled and couldn't be rescheduled. The ticketing instructions weren't right on some. It was a sloppy set up. I don't think Go-City cares enough to fix it.

Friends having fun

Lynetta_T, Jul 2024

was that it was a good way to tour and see the city. One thing needs to be improved the website said the tour started at 9:30 and we got there early 9:15 and the driver told us the tour didn't start until 10. The map in the Go City Philadelphia Guide said 9:30.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Hello Lynetta, Thank you so much for your feedback. We'll pass this information to our product team, so they can make the correct adjustments. We hope to serve you again in the near future. Best Regards Go City

Well worth it!

kstewart, Jun 2024

Dan, our tour guide was new but fun! The ride was great and showed off the best of Phillie. We rode up top on a hot day and the breeze was perfect. The ticket included entrance to sooo many museums and attractions it was well worth it.

Totally disappointed!

Barbara_W, Jun 2024

I had ordered a two day hop on hop off tour of Philly. Day one, Friday, I sent a message asking if we could start the tour at any of the stops on the tour. I received the answer (asking for more information!) on SUNDAY. We had already left the city!. We d rove to the sites we wanted to see and used the passes for entrance. On the second day, we were going to do more of the downtown sites. There was a Rally downtown and the streets were shut down. We were told they were not running. Asked for refund for second day and was denied. I will never use this company again!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Disaster

Rita_P, Apr 2023

Trying to park a Ford F250 in a parking deck in Philadelphia near where we were to load the bus for our tour was impossible and after 2 hours trying to find a parking space we left the city. No one told us that the parking decks would only hold vehicles that are short and small. Which is not the case in other places we have visited. We drove to the zoo where we were able to park knowing that the bus was supposed to go to the zoo we hoped we could board there even though it was not one of the pick up locations. We waited for 45 minutes and there were no buses so we used Uber to get back to the city. We then approached a kiosk where a couple of drivers were talking about which one was to drive and after they finished we asked about getting back to the zoo and we were told they did not run to the zoo. I said the zoo was listed as a location and was told told it was no longer a site they went to but it was going to be in the future. Imagine my dismay. At that lint we had wasted over $100 and had only seen the zoo which was poorly staffed and few animals were available for viewing. We decided to walk to see the Liberty Bell, eat a Philly and catch an Uber back to the zoo to pick up our truck. We got to the zoo after five and the parking deck was closed. Thank goodness there was a kind, helpful armed guard there who opened the garage so that we could leave. I had always wanted to tour Philadelphia and thought that a Go City Tour was a good choice however now I know to never consider this option again. We have driven in, parked and toured several large cities to include Washington, DC, Atlanta, GA, Raleigh, NC, Cairns, Australia, Seoul, Korea, and others with no difficulty. So this was not our first experience in a big city. But what went wrong you may ask. Here is the answer: 1) Failure of the Go City Tours to provide accurate, sufficient information about where their patrons could park along with options for vehicles over 6’3”, 2) Failure to provide accurate information about which sites listed would not be included in the tour, We were also completely surprised that Philadelphia did not have Park and Ride sites from outside the city to the city center as do other large cities. This could have been a solution for us had this been available. Given our experiences, we don’t plan to visit Philadelphia again. .

Response from Host, May 2023

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. Your feedback is important to us and appreciated. We are so sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience when visiting Philadelphia. As we work closely with all of the attractions on our passes to provide the best experience possible, your comments will definitely be taken on board. Warm Regards, Go City

Hop-on hop-off trip with a very fluent guide and day/night tours with very interesting themes and guides.

Go for it!

GERI_T, Nov 2021

We did all the tours we could in one day - day before Thanksgiving - it was great. We did a walking tour, which was a first for our family, that was awesome and very educational. The Big Bus Tour was live - which was rare and a great addition.

Hello, we’re so glad you enjoyed sightseeing with Go City. We hope you will choose our pass for your next adventure!. Best regards, Go City - WS

Once the tickets are bought you realize how many lies were used to sell you the tickets

Marylynn_I, Sep 2021

viator provided incorrect address of tour bus location. It took forever for your employees to figure out what tickets we had ( philly go pass all inclusive). Every where we went they kept saying we had to pay for things we were told were all inclusive. Specifically told the zoo and aquarium were accessible by bus. The aquarium required a ferry and we were told that on a Saturday they were not running the route that takes you to the zoo. branches kept hitting my daughter in the face. We waited an hour for a bus to pick us up at Eastern State Penitentiary. Apparently there was a float in the middle of the road that caused us to miss the parkway, so we had to detour all the way around and then got dropped off somewhere different than the regular ESP bus stop. Driver told us to meet there for pickup. After 45 minutes of waiting I called and was told they are not going to ESP because of the road being partially closed. When they finally came we had to wait for a large group of people to purchase tickets and board the bus. This took another 20 minutes.The whole process of getting picked up and going to the next stop took 2 hours out of our day.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Thank you for sharing your situation with us, we are terribly sorry to hear of this inconvenience and the frustration it may have caused you. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our services and meet your expectations. WS

Would not use viator for your trip

james_t, Aug 2021

I had trouble downloading the bar code to use. The customer service guy said to just so my paperwork with the confirmation number. We got to the Camden aquarium and had trouble checking in. We had the same issue at the battle ship of new jersey.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you very much for taking the time to write your review. We are really sorry for the situation you went trough at the moment to use our pass. We would like you to contact our customer service care team at the phone number: 1 (877) 714-1999 or by email: contact@gocity.com in order to do a deeply research. This way we are going to be able to avoid any situation like this to happen again in the future. Thanks in advance.

Misinformation

Kevin_M, Jun 2021

I recommend the hop on - hop off bus tour of Philadelphia. But I was told that the Mutter museum was part of the Philly pass and it wasn't. Hasn't been since September 2020! It cost me $40 extra!!!

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, we are glad to know that you enjoyed the Hop-on Hop-off Big Bus Philadelphia Tours. On the other hand, we were hoping you'd be able to provide us some additional information about were did you see that Mutter Museum was included on the Go Philadelphia Pass. This, because some of the attractions were recently removed from our website. Thanks in advance for the clarification.

Martha_S, Aug 2020

Check other options first

Susan_Y, Oct 2019

The list of attractions is not correct, there are a couple of sites listed on the website that are not on their final list that you get after you sign up. And sites on that list are closed and the included ticket is not useful (i.e. Old City Hall Observation deck). The Big Bus that runs the Hop on and Off tour runs infrequently. We were told they would run every 20 minutes but some times it was as long as half an hour. (at one point we walked to the next stop before a bus came) We had booked a ghost tour though Viator which was included in the passes and while we were visiting another attraction got a call from the ghost tour company telling me our passes had expired (even though they were 2 day passes and we were on our first day) I had to call Viator and wasted about a half hour on the phone getting this straightened out. There are other trip combinations, I suggest you check those out and this one is not the greatest.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Hi Susan, I extend my sincere apologize for the inconvenience caused to you and I completely understand how frustrating this had been for you. While we expect every experience that you have with us to go smoothly, this time it was slightly disappointing. You can always refer to the 'Know before you go' section in order to get the all the essential information regarding the tours and reservation. The complete list is also available over the website. In order to check the closing and opening hours you can refer the 'Operating hours' by click on any of particular attraction. However, we take you feedback very seriously and we will be sharing a strong feedback to the team so that we can improve upon it. Regards, Go City
