About This Experience

The slow way to add Washington to a New York trip: two days, one night in a hotel near DC, and Philadelphia and Pennsylvania's Amish Country thrown in. It has more than 290 reviews and runs in several languages.

Philadelphia gets a panoramic drive along the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and a walk through the historic centre to the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and Elfreth's Alley, plus the Rocky Steps. In Amish Country there is a buggy ride.

In Washington you see Capitol Hill, the White House and the Lincoln, Korean War and Vietnam memorials, and go inside the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (the Natural History Museum when Air and Space is closed). Breakfast and entry fees are included; lunch, dinner and tips are not, and the price depends on how many share your room.

What Travelers Say

Rated 4.4/5 by 290 verified GetYourGuide travelers.

This trip was great. I appreciate that it was not canceled as there were only four of us. Osai, the tour guide was, knowledgeable and kind. He kept everything on schedule. Jose, our driver got us to each site on time and was a careful driver. I would like to see the Philadelphia itinerary expanded and include a mural tour, Betsy Ross' House or Eastern State Penitentiary. Many people are still flocking to Alcatraz so why not? We did pass Betsy Ross' House but it was not open yet. The Amish farm was wonderful. Ennis and his family were great. Please try to incorporate more black experiences. Philadelphia has a great deal of black historic events. Also, Mount Vernon, George Washington's estate was a welcomed surprise, not initially a part of the tour but should be. Experiencing historical sites like this brings history alive. Overall the trip was very enjoyable. Thank you.

I rate the whole trip as great. The only thing that was downright terrible was the breakfast at the hotel.

The tour was great! It covered the major sights of both cities at a good pace. Carlo, the guide, was amazing! He was full of interesting information, funny and entertaining, and ultra resourceful. Although there were events in Philadelphia that could have disrupted the tour itinerary, he managed to find ways around them and made sure all sights listed in the itinerary were visited. Awesome tour, definitely recommended!
