FUN TOUR AND BREATHTAKING MONUMENTS

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00The tour was really nice, exciting fun and interactive, our guide Andres explained everything in detail. The amish tour was interesting because there is a change of mentality that also makes you think about how many people can live quietly in a different way than usual. Then the experience in Philadelphia and Washington was unmissable, we saw many breathtaking monuments, and as for the food we also enjoyed it, with hearty breakfasts and for all ethnic groups. I highly recommend, for sure you will not get bored with Andres nice and ironic and very helpful.
