Location

Combine two of Pennsylvania’s best sights on this full-day tour. Departing from midtown Manhattan on an air-conditioned vehicle, you will marvel at the grandeur of Philadelphia and explore Lancaster County’s oldest Amish community.

The first stop on this tour is Elfreth’s Alley, historic street in Philadelphia, dating back to 1703.
Next comes Betsy Ross House with its sweeping historic importance. Where we’re going to hop off the vehicle for a free guided walking tour of Independence National Historical Park, includes sights of: Independence Hall, Free Quaker Meetinghouse, President’s House Site, First and Second Bank of the United States, Carpenters’ Hall, Library Hall and visit to Liberty Bell Center. Over 330 years of US history are waiting for you in Philadelphia
The tour then moves onto spectacular City Hall as the beautiful centerpiece of the city. Anchoring the long expanse of Broad Street, it offers an almost castle-like atmosphere with its intricate arches and stairways.
Your final stop of the day is the charming society of Lancaster County’s Amish community. Here you will enjoy a buggy ride with free leisure time.
