Day Tour from New York to Washington DC

The bus leaves early in the morning at Times Square. From here, you will drive to Washington DC in about four hours, where you’ll first visit the Iwo Jima Memorial, dedicated to the lost lives of the American Marines.

The tour continues to the nearby Lincoln Memorial. After this visit, you will continue to the White House and Capitol Hill, both of which you can admire from the outside. Your visit to Washington DC concludes with some free time, so you can have lunch or explore some more of the capital city.

Sites to see in Philadelphia

Then the bus sets sail for Philadelphia, with Independence National Historical Park as its first destination. Here, you will visit a number of historical sites during a short walk led by the guide.

After about an hour, you will board the bus again for a visit to the famous Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and the Rocky Steps. At the end of this diverse day, the bus will go back to New York, where you will return to Times Square during the evening.

Eric’s Tip: “During this day trip you will see a lot and I think it is really worth it as a trip outside of New York City. This tour is an accessible way to get to know both Washington DC and Philadelphia. Therefore, it is also an intensive day so keep that in mind.”

FAQ

You’ll see a lot in one day, both from Washington and Philadelphia, in a very convenient way. It’s a long day, but in my opinion, it’s absolutely worth it to combine the two cities.

You will see both landmarks from the outside, but you won’t go inside.
