Step by Step

This tour, led by an expert guide, will begin with a visit to the historic city of Philadelphia. Known as the City of Brotherly Love, it is famous for several sites that you will see throughout your tour.

The Liberty Bell, a symbol of American independence, will be one of the highlights of the itinerary. You’ll also pass by important sites such as Constitution Square and the US Capitol, and stroll along the popular Elfreth’s Alley.

You certainly won’t want to leave Philadelphia without having your photo taken with the bronze statue of Rocky at the very spot where the famous staircase scene was filmed.

After this panoramic tour of the city, you’ll head to Lancaster, home to the Amish community. There, you’ll experience first-hand how this community lives, far removed from technological advances. You’ll step off the coach for a moment to take a ride in an authentic horse-drawn carriage.

After this experience, you’ll have the chance to buy handmade crafts produced by the Amish at a local market.

Return transport to these two destinations will be in comfortable minivans or coaches with on-board Wi-Fi to make your journey as enjoyable as possible.

If you’d like to explore more places during your stay in New York, this excursion is a great option.
