I thought the Amish part would be my favourite but Peter brought the history of Philadelphia alive and that was beyond my expectations. He was the best guide a person could ask for. A bit overwhelming at times with 4 languages going at the same time on the bus. Not impressed with the selection of movie that was shown on the way back to NYC. Yes it was about the Amish, but it was also full of violence and swearing.

Thank you for your good review, we're happy that you enjoyed Historical Philadelphia as much as you did the Amish country. Thank you for your feedback regarding the movie, we play that movie because of its historical significance and that it was actually filmed in Bird in Hand, the place we visit to learn about the Amish. This was also the movie that exposed the Amish people to the world at large. Roie Empire Vacations

Our tour guide Moses was excellent, he took us to a lot of very interesting places. It was freezing and snowy in Philadelphia when we were there but never the less it was a fantastic trip, the visit and run up the "Rocky Steps" was a memorable experience. The trip to the Amish farm was great. John , the Amish farmer was very welcoming and friendly and it was great having a trip in his buggy and then seeing all the farm animals. I bought some cookies at his place, so delicious. Moses took us to an amazing eating place, it was a buffet all you can eat place, was so good and great value for money.
