5.00Historic & Hilarious, for sure. Tim was a great host and made the experience great for everyone. It was a great time for everyone and the history facts, for someone who has lived here were things I had never known before. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for something to do as a visitor or even just for a fun experience.
Very insightful and fun...

1.00As much as we were looking forward to our tour we received a text the night before informing us that due to staffing issues they would not be able to accommodate us at that specific time. An alternative time was offered but unfortunately it didn’t work with our schedule - we are now just waiting for a refund.
Was cracking up the whole time

5.00Our guide really made the trip. He was genuinely hilarious. It was like a stand-up show with some history on the side, which we really enjoyed. Also we love throwing back cold ones and the weather was nice, so it was a win win win. I wish it was more than 2 hours!
Fun time spent aboard....

5.00We recently took the BYOB Historically Hilarious Trolley Tour of Philadelphia, and it was an absolute highlight of our trip. From start to finish, the experience was fun, engaging, and full of great historical insight delivered with a perfect sense of humor. The tour guide was outstanding — knowledgeable, energetic, and genuinely passionate about the city’s history. He had a fantastic way of mixing real historical facts with hilarious stories and commentary that kept everyone entertained the entire time. It never felt like a boring history lesson — more like a rolling comedy show packed with fascinating information. His assistant was also awesome and added so much to the overall experience. Friendly, attentive, and just as entertaining, they made sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and fully involved in the tour. Their teamwork really made the whole ride feel welcoming and upbeat. Being able to BYOB made the tour even more relaxed and enjoyable. It created a social, laid-back atmosphere where everyone could laugh, learn, and take in the sights together. If you’re visiting Philadelphia and want a tour that is informative and genuinely fun, this trolley tour is a must-do. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to experience the city. ⭐🍻
