New York - Philadelphia - Amish Country and Buggy Ride - Washington D.C.

Wave goodbye to New York City and ride through New Jersey and Pennsylvania into historic Philadelphia, the one-time capital of the United States. Trace the beginnings of the country, visiting the world-famous Liberty Bell, Independence National Park, Congress Hall, and Elfreth’s Alley, the oldest continually-inhabited street in the United States. Continue on a panoramic tour of the City of Brotherly Love, passing by the financial district, Benjamin Franklin Parkway, Historic Philadelphia and more. On the way out of the city see the “Rocky Steps” that Sylvester Stallone famously ran up and down in the classic movie “Rocky.” Next stop is Lancaster, the home of America’s tranquil and old-world Amish community. Start your visit with a ride in a traditional Amish buggy through the peaceful farm country and learn from your guide how the Amish live without modern technology. No electricity, running water, phones, appliances, or even zippers! After the buggy ride we will visit the Amish marketplace, where you can shop for beautiful, homemade handicrafts before heading on to Washington D.C., arriving in the evening for overnight.

You will visit the vast and beautiful Arlington National Cemetery, where the nation’s soldiers have been buried since the Civil War until today. Here we will witness the changing of the guards and visit the Kennedy Family gravesite. Next, we will visit two fascinating monuments, the Capitol Hill, where you can see the nation’s capitol, senate, and of course the White House!. Learn about the core of the U.S. Government and see the place where it all happens. Next stop is the Stone of Hope, dedicated to Civil Rights Movement leader Martin Luther King. We will continue to the famous Air and Space Museum before visiting the Lincoln, Washington, Korea and Vietnam Memorials. We will depart from Washington in the late afternoon for an evening arrival in New York. We wish you health and happiness on your travels onward in the city that never sleeps!

To this day, this is the best tour we've ever done together as a couple! The fun activities, great hotels and nice guides worth the money! We were always taken care of and they made sure that we had a good time. This tour is definitely worth taking.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
