The best experience in the amish ville
Wonderful experience in Philadelphia! A special shout-out to the guide Redi, very knowledgeable and engaging in historical storytelling. Always friendly, available, and attentive to the group's needs. He made the visit enjoyable and interesting. Absolutely recommended experience!
We had a wonderful experience on our Philadelphia tour through Viator. The tour manager, Carlos, was excellent throughout the journey. He shared interesting historical insights about the city and ensured we covered everything mentioned in the itinerary. His teammates were also supportive and managed the group well. A few considerations before booking: 1. If you are traveling with a toddler, the tour may feel a bit fast-paced (we felt that way). More time at each destination would have made the experience even more enjoyable. 2. On our return to New York, there was only the driver on the bus and no tour manager. In case of an emergency, having an additional staff member onboard could be helpful. Overall, it was a great experience, and we enjoyed the trip.
I had an amazing experience on the Philadelphia and Amish Country day trip from NYC. Everything was well organized, and the itinerary was excellent. We had plenty of time to see the highlights of Philadelphia and enjoy the beautiful Amish countryside. A special thank you to our tour guide, Andrea, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and organized throughout the day.
Exceptional day, we loved this visit especially the Amish and the carriage ride 😁. The bus was comfortable, and we had a great time with Oscar, a cultured, friendly, and smiling man; we were amazed 🤩. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Best Philadelphia and Amish area tour ever! Very informative and food was all delicious!
We had an amazing experience on this tour! Everything was well organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. Visiting both Philadelphia and Lancaster County in one day was the perfect combination of history, culture, and beautiful scenery. A special thank you to Andres, who was an outstanding guide. Having a Spanish-speaking guide was a huge plus and made the experience even more enjoyable for my mom. Andres was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of each place we visited. The Amish carriage ride, the historic sites in Philadelphia, and the delicious food were all wonderful. We left with great memories and a deeper appreciation for the places we visited. I highly recommend this tour, especially for Spanish-speaking travelers. Thank you, Andres, for making our day so special!
Very informative guide and good experience overall ! Only downside is the bus leaves early in the morning.
Suley, our tour guide did an amazing job. Excellent bus driver as well. Super fun and informative. I would highly recommend.
A very good experience, Philadelphia is very beautiful; we would have liked to see a few more Amish, we have seen very few, but the family showed us the farm and many little animals, the guide Paolo was very attentive and polite.
