Book a two-day Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and Amish Country tour from New York City.
Day 1: New York – Philadelphia- Washington, D.C.
Depart New York through New Jersey to the city of brotherly love, Philadelphia. When you arrive in the historic area of the city, you’ll visit the Liberty Bell, Independence National Park, and Congress Hall. Take a walk through Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continuously inhabited street in America. Continue on a panoramic tour of Philadelphia that includes the financial district, Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Historic Philadelphia and more.
As you leave Philadelphia, you’ll get a chance to see the famous “Rocky Steps” and then continue east to the land of the Amish in Lancaster. Take a ride on an authentic Amish Buggy through the Amish farm country and learn how they live without modern-day essentials--no electricity, running water, telephone service or appliances. Afterwards, you’ll have the chance to stop at an Amish marketplace where you can shop for handmade arts crafts and products. In the late afternoon, you’ll depart east for an evening arrival in Washington, D.C. with an overnight stay at the Wyndham Garden.
Day 2: Washington, D.C. - New York
Begin your day with a visit to the Thomas Jefferson Memorial by the Tidal Basin, surrounded by famous Japanese cherry blossom trees. Visit the Arlington National Cemetery, the changing of the guards and the Kennedy family gravesite. You'll also get the opportunity to see the U.S. Capitol and the White House, two of the most important federal buildings in the country. Continue to the Air and Space Museum before visiting the Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Korean and Vietnam Memorials. In the late afternoon, you’ll depart north for an evening arrival in New York.
