The visit to Philadelphia was amazing - so much history and such a beautiful city but the trip to Amish country was very disappointing- I would much rather have had the opportunity to visit more of Philadelphia and learn about the development of America post revolution than to have wasted half the day in what was at best a commercialised snippet of the Amish culture. A buggy ride and a walk through a farm which included a puppy mill was not the cultural experience I was hoping for. I have given the trip 4 stars because the tour guide and driver (thank you Samira and Daniel) were amazing and really deserve a solid 5/5.

Philadelphia is significant for its rich history. We learned about the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed), visited Betsy Ross home and Benjamin Franklin's fragments of his home, burial site etc. The Amish tour was very interesting. Arriving at the Amish Country allows you to step back in time to enjoy a slower and peaceful pace. It was truly breathing. Most of all the tour guides were very knowledgeable. I recommend this trip to all.
