The last stop in Washington is at the National Air and Space Museum. Here you can visit the museum or have lunch somewhere.

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.”
