This tour covers some of the important sites in Philadelphia relating to the US's political history. Hence, it is good for those who are particularly interested in the US' political history. However, it does have a little something for movie buffs too. If you are a fan of Rocky, you will enjoy the visit from outside to the Museum of Art. Amish country farms are very beautiful. However, the part I was looking forward to the most - riding in a traditional buggy - turned out to be the worst. The buggy driver insisted on seating 16 even if they are all XXXL-sized! This was so unpleasant and frustrating for me. And am sure it was hard on the 2 horses pulling the buggy. I hadn't taken a 12-hour flight for this! Yet, he was eagerly expecting a tip. I didn't give any. For the whole day, we were accompanied by two tour guides one for English and Japanese speaking tourists and the other for Spanish and Italian speaking group. The two tour guides would count and re-count the group members and yet move on to the next site leaving 1 or 2 behind! What was also surprising was that the both guides were expecting tips! Why should the guide of one-language pay for the other tour guide of another language? This is meaningless.

This was a wonderful tour, well organised and the tour guide Manny was very knowledgeable and animated.
We visited both Philadelphia Liberty Bell, Town Hall and the Rocky steps as well as Lancaster County Amish country, and while it was a long day, it did not feel rushed at all.
Would totally recommend this tour to others.

We liked the things we saw and did, but it was hard to hear our guide and he needed to translate into a few languages. Our group, in the back of the bus, often could not hear the guide well I think there was a problem with the av?? and it was also pretty warm in the back of the bus. Our guides worked hard and the places we went were worthwhile.
