The group was quite big, maybe 60 people, but everyone who wanted to hear what the guide said could easily do that. We were sadly quite hurried in Philadelphia - the only free time to buy souvenirs etc. is the time that you're given to have brunch. But the Amish Country - fantastc! Free time to see around in Kitchen Kettle village and eat. Overall - we were happy that we took this trip!

The trip it's self was good, however whilst I appreciate that there are many nationalities in New York, it was conducted in 3 languages and was often difficult to follow. There was a lot of walking involved in Philadelphia which we were not warned about, and my 85 year old Mother found difficult.

Fab trip. Coach which is discribed as luxurious was not! It nearly broke down on way back!Philadelphia was a lovely city. Stopped off for breakfast which was a buffet but price determined by weight of food, was like canteen style!
Stopped off at Elfreth Road the oldest residential street in Philadelphia. Saw the Liberty Bell and learned all about it . Stopped off in a couple of places to have pics done like Philadelphia museum of art where there's a bronze statue of Rocky. Then onto the Amish Town of Intercourse in Lancaster County where we were driven in a buggy by Steve a lovely man who was very willing to explain the Amish way of life and was also willing to have his photo taken. Be aware that not all Amish people are willing to have their photo taken. The buggy ride was lovely, and Steve stopped at one point so that we could buy home made lemonade and root beer, much needed on a hot day. They usually ask that you give the buggy driver a dollar afterwards. We then went on to Kitchen Kettle Village where there are 32 shops and a lovely restaurant which I highly recommend. You can eat home made ice-cream in a cone (delicious). There is a Christmas shop, candle shop, a shop that sells home made jam/pickle and lots more. All in all this was a very enjoyable day out and I would highly recommend it and I thought was definitely worth a day away from The Big Apple.
