I loved the Amish country the most but little time was spent exploring the countryside. The trip mostly was about shopping and visiting the museums.

Excellent trip. Felt like visiting another planet and going back in time in American history. The tour guide Brian was very friendly and had a fantastic charisma. I totally enjoyed, thanks.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Philadelphia part of the tour was very good - our guide Stephano was very nice, helpful and knowledgable. The Amish country part was a bit lacking. The buggy ride person didn't know we were coming so we waited half an hour for a buggy. During that time we did nothing, even though there was a decent shop and even a model house in the same parking lot. After this delay, we were given less than an hour for lunch and shopping - really not enough time - and still returned to New York over an hour before the time stated in your ad. In short - a problem in time management and problem solving. Sorry, but this tour didn't meet our expectations

Thank you for your review and feedback, we always appreciate hearing the customer perspective. After some research, while the buggy was late, the estimated time of preparation we received was too small to allow for other activities (15 mins). The tour arrived back in NYC around 7:05pm which is in line with the tour schedule. Tour schedules cannot be amended due to driver hours and DOT regulations. Thank you very much for your support and we look forward to hosting you on another tour. Empire Vacations team
