Philly and amish country all good, the start at 630am was not well organized abit of a shambles only one coach had a tour sign and the tour guides didnt seem to know what was happening however our guide turned out to be excellent, full of energy and information speaking 4 languages. Time and experience in Philly was excellent the time and experience in Amish country was disappointing but overall good day

Norma_M

I'm rating this trip a 3 star because even though we enjoyed ourselves we were quite disappointed with part of the trip. I would highly recommend a Philadelphia tour on it's own. DO NOT purchase the Amish tour. The countryside is beautiful BUT the Amish experience was ..well extremely disappointing. We were taken to a local family farm and literally ONLY saw their barn. Yes only their barn...AND that WAS IT! Absolutely nothing educational in regards to the Amish schools, way of living, community or anything at all. I wasn't going to leave a review but I don't want anyone else to ALSO have high expectations and end up EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED as far as the whole Amish experience.

Visiting Lancaster county and exploring where and how the Amish people live was the highlight of the day.

Tracey_L

The tour was very interesting and enjoyable. Our tour guide provided lots of interesting information and took us to interesting historical landmarks. The visit to Lancaster County to learn about the Amish was fascinating so much fun.

NAYANTARA_P

The guide was mediocre and did not provide much background information. The sites visited in Philadelphia were relatively brief after a long drive. The lunch location in Philadelphia recommended by the guide was disappointing. No commentary was given by the guide on the long return journey.

I found Philadelphia disappointing and the he Amish visit was pointless. It was a day trip so Philly may have impressed more if I stayed longer. The tour guide was good and informative in Philly but the ol fella who does the Amish part not so much. My impression of the locations was meh; stars would be 4 if the Amish bit was dropped. And that is not because they are Amish. It just wasn’t informative and walking through a stable - here are some chickens; here are some horses; here are some guinea pigs; nope - didn’t drive all that way to see a few animals.
