Description

Learn about American history on a tour of Washington DC and Philadelphia, both of which played important roles in the development of democracy in the USA. Visit the Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall, Independence Hall, and more on a guided day trip with roundtrip transfers from NYC.
Your day will begin with an early morning departure from Times Square in Manhattan, where you’ll be greeted by your bilingual tour guide for the day. After 4-5 hours, your first destination will be the nation's current capital, Washington, DC. Once there, visit the Iwo Jima Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.
During the tour, stop for a classic outside view of the White House, home and office of the U.S. President, and the Capitol Building, home of the U.S. Congress. 

Next, head back north to Philadelphia, PA, the first-ever U.S. capitol. During the 3-hour journey, stop for a quick bite to eat. After arriving in the city, visit the historic Old City neighborhood and discover Independence National Historical Park on a brief walking tour. Then, ascend to the top of the Rocky Steps before returning to Times Square in Manhattan.
