Enjoyable trip, would have liked a little more information about the Amish people, but overall good
We had the best tour guide on this trip, Elie, very well informed and oh so entertaining!!
It had something for everyone and the Amish part was something I'll never forget, such peaceful and contented people.
It's a long day ,13 hours all up, so don't make big plans for the evening, you'll be exhausted!
This tour could have been organised much better. There was confusion at the initial meeting place, nobody knowing where we were supposed to be waiting for the bus as it seemed there were people waiting in this area for many different buses. The tour guides did not have any sort of system in place to ensure that we knew exactly where we needed to be waiting - a sign stating the tour name would have been of great help.
The liberty bell part of the tour took a lot of time, most of which was spent waiting in lines and waiting for others to catch up. It would have been more efficient if we had been given a couple of hours to wander around by ourselves, spending more time at those exhibits we found most interesting. This part of the tour did not hold much significance or interest to us so before booking, make sure this is what you want to do.
The Amish country part of the tour was enjoyable and included a buggy ride and some time at tourist shops. There was not much explanation of the history of Amish life or much demonstration of their current way of life.
