Take advantage of your visit to New York by going on a private day trip to two of the nation’s capitals: Washington, D.C. (current) and Philadelphia, P.A. (the first-ever).
Your tour will begin with an early morning departure from Times Square in Manhattan, where you’ll be greeted by your professional, bilingual tour guide for the day. Your first destination will be the nation’s current capital, Washington, DC (travel time is approximately 4-5 hours) where your tour will begin with a visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial. You will continue with a visit to the impressive Lincoln Memorial and stop for a classic outside view of the White House and the Capitol Building. Your visit to Washington concludes with free time for lunch on your own.
Your next destination is the first-ever U.S. capital, chosen during the Revolutionary War: Philadelphia, PA. You’ll re-board your comfortable motorcoach for an approximately 3-hour journey. You’ll arrive directly to Philadelphia’s historic Old City neighborhood. Your first stop will be at the Independence National Historical Park where your guide will lead you on a brief walking tour. You will have the opportunity to see some of the main historical sites such as the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall.
Your visit to Philadelphia concludes with a stop at the Rocky Steps, in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you’ll have an opportunity to re-enact the famous scene from the 1976 movie by ascending to the top of the steps. At the end of the day, relax onboard your motorcoach for the return to Times Square in Manhattan arriving between 10 pm and 10:30 pm.
