Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. I was very disappointed that we did not have admittance to the Betsy Ross House. I feel like it was great addition to the trip but then to not be able to go in and see it was disappointing. I also feel like a cooler full of water would have been a great perk at very little cost to the company.

Philadelphia should not be missed - if for nothing else then all the history at least. After all it is the US 'birth place' and also the capitol prior to DC. The tour after visiting the historic side - which included a visit to the first house of congress, takes you to the famous `Rocky ` steps - a must for all the fans! The absolute highlight for us was our visit to Amish Country and the family farm where you get a buggy ride around the farmland get to see the farm animals up close. We got a chance to speak to the residents of the farm and discuss the Amish way of life. It was informative, educational and above all adventurous. Surprisingly self sustaining community in the middle of no where. Amongst many produce they make fresh cheese in the farm which was delicious. If you are at all interested in learning and experiencing the Amish way of life then book right now!

I found it a nice trip. In the bus we had 2 languaces. The guide had to put the time between the 2 groups. That toe to much effort. Beter is 1 languance. We had further a blast. Thank you voor organising
