Step by Step

This expertly guided tour will begin with a visit to the historic city of Philadelphia. Known as the city of brotherly love, it is famous for several landmarks that you will see along the way.

The Liberty Bell, a symbol of American independence, will be one of the highlights of the itinerary. You'll also pass important sites such as Constitution Square and Congress or walk along the popular Elfreth's Alley.

You won't want to leave Philadelphia without having your picture taken with the bronze statue of Rocky in the same spot where the famous staircase scene was filmed.

After your tour of the city, you'll head to Lancaster, home of the Amish. There, you'll get a first-hand look at how this community lives away from the technological advances. You'll leave the bus for a moment to take a ride in an authentic horse-drawn carriage.

After this experience, you will be able to buy handmade Amish products at a local market.

Transportation to and from these two locations will be in comfortable minivans or on buses with built-in WiFi to make your trip as enjoyable as possible.

If you want to explore more sites during your stay in New York, this tour is a good option.
