About this trip
A long day out of New York that covers two very different sides of Pennsylvania: Revolutionary history in Philadelphia and Amish farmland in Lancaster County. You travel by minivan or coach, so there's no train timetable or driving to sort out yourself.
The day splits roughly in half — first the historical core of Philadelphia, then out into the countryside to see how the Amish community lives, including a horse-and-buggy ride.
It's a full day trip rather than an overnight, so you're back in New York the same night.
What you'll do
- See the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall in Philadelphia
- Travel out to Lancaster County's Amish Country
- Take a horse-and-buggy ride through Amish farmland
- Learn about Amish life and traditions firsthand
- Long day out and back from NYC in a single day
- Easy pace — guided transport throughout, no logistics to manage yourself
- Suits families and those who want a taste of both city history and rural culture without an overnight stay
Worth it if you want solid Amish Country and Philadelphia coverage with a capable guide. Think twice if you need seamless logistics or multilingual support.
- Guide Redi consistently praised for knowledge, availability, and making guests feel at ease throughout.
- Logistical chaos: multiple tours on same bus, guides translating repeatedly, missed content and routing confusion.
- Amish farm visits and Harvest Cafe genuinely eye-opening; beef and vegetable soup stood out. Wish for longer meal time.
- Bus comfort and driver quality consistently mentioned; scenery and historical sites exceeded expectations for most.
