Philadelphia & Amish Country Day Tour from New York City

A fully guided day trip from New York City to Philadelphia and Amish Country Pennsylvania.
Known as “The City of Brotherly Love”, after its founding fathers, the Quakers, Philadelphia is home to many historical & colonial sites that played an important role in the founding of the nation. In recent years, it’s undergone a cultural renaissance and is booming with museums, restaurants, art and top attractions.
This trip includes a journey to Lancaster County Pennsylvania, home to America’s largest Amish community. The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt many conveniences of modern technology including cars, computers, and phones! These ‘plain people’ as they call themselves live without modern conveniences like electricity and preserve a life based on a deep religious faith. Take a horse & buggy ride through the Amish farmland where horses still plow the fields. Visit an Amish homestead to see their lifestyle including a single room schoolhouse, where Amish children learn to read and write and speak a foreign language, English. 
This is an amazing day in the American heartland to see the unique lifestyle of a bygone era that continues this day.
