Dagtrip naar Philadelphia en Amish Country vanuit New York

Er wordt teveel tijd uitgetrokken voor Philadelphia en te weinig voor de Amish country. Al is dit misschien eerder subjectief. Je ziet niet zo veel van het echte Amish leven. Er is een korte rondrit met een koets doorheen een Amish dorp, is wel mooi maar erg kort.

De wandeltocht door Philadelphia, waarmee de dag begint, is leuk en informatief. Maar de tocht met de koets door Amish Country, waarvoor wij juist deze tour geboekt hadden, stelt niet veel voor. Op een grote parkeerplaats waar vele andere bussen al geparkeerd staan (massatoerisme) word je met 11 andere personen in een koets gezet. De gids, een amish man, zit voorop de koets er vertelt gedurende 30 minuten af en toe even wat. Maar de korte rit is zo uitgezet dat de Amish mensen geen last hebben van de vele toeristen die een dergelijke tour boeken. We hebben naast onze koetsbestuurder namelijk geen enkele Amishe mensen gezien of gesproken. Totaal geen authentieke belevenis. Wat ons betreft een grote tegenvaller en zeker de 107,00 euro p.p. niet waard.

Pésimo tour, mal el guía ( stefano) y sucio y mal atendido lugar de comidas ( restó chino ): no recomendable

it sure beats driving from NYC - no need to find parking or pay tolls bus very comfortable - very informative and the philly cheese steak restaurant was also fabulous - I mean there’s never enough time but you get a great snapShot of Philadelphia - Amish tour a bucket list for me and aTrue lifeTime high light - I could have stayed in Lancaster forever ! Highly recommend

The Philadelphia could terrific , IF WE HAS A TOUR GUIDE WHO WAS COMFORTABLE WITH THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE! However he had two groups he was speaking to, both in Spanish and English, and he definitely spoke without confidence in English. This tour with have been much much better had we been in a smaller group rather than a complete bus full. The itinerary was great! However communication was poor and you seldom he was saying. He didn’t like using the mic and you couldn’t hear the little he said

Great guide and fantastic experience We have really enjoyed each and every minute of this trip.Thank you

Great experience - historical place in Philadelphia was a truly amazing place tour guide was well informed and did a good presentation. I really did not enjoy the Amish Country part of the trip seemed to be more of a tourist trap. As with all the tours there seems to be a lack of time to spend at each place by the tour guide - I wish Viator would allow more time for the tour guide to spend at each location so you can really take it all in.

We enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was excellent. Just the waiting area before tour needs organization.

For people who are time poor this is the tour for you, alot of bus travel through some beautiful countryside. We got to see the historical highlights of Philadelphia and the famous Rocky steps. Armish land was interesting, our horse and buggy driver Sue gave us a great insight into the Armish and how the area has changed over time and how the people maintain their beliefs and values in modern times. Fantastic driver and tour guide keep the tour runnjjng smoothly.
My only negivate I would have liked more time with the Armish people and less at the shopping market.

tour guide was knowledgeable
