About this activity

Experience two Pennsylvania icons in a single 14-hour journey from Manhattan: colonial Philadelphia's revolutionary landmarks and the preserved 18th-century lifestyle of Lancaster County's Amish community. This immersive tour combines America's founding history with a glimpse into a culture that has deliberately stepped outside modernity.

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 the Lancaster County’s oldest Amish community.

• Visit Liberty Bell Center, filled with history about the Liberty Bell and then there is the bell itself

• Walk Independence National Historical Park on a free guided walking tour

• Marvel at the famous Independence Hall, Betsy Ross house and Philadelphia City Hall

• Run the Rocky steps! It’s fun to run (or walk) up the iconic steps.

• Explore Lancaster County’s Amish community, and be brought back in time by their way of life

• Enjoy travelling in an air conditioned vehicle

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.
