About this tour

Trace the story of American history on a full-day journey from New York to Washington, DC, and Philadelphia. This 15-hour tour pairs the capital’s monumental landmarks with the streets and sites where independence took shape.

In Washington, DC, explore the memorial area on foot, including the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and Reflecting Pool. Take in views along the Washington Monument, stop for photos at the Iwo Jima Memorial, White House, and U.S. Capitol Building, and see landmarks such as the Pentagon and Georgetown along the way. After a lunch stop en route, continue to Philadelphia for a guided look at the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. Visit the Betsy Ross House, walk along historic Elfreth’s Alley, then finish at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you can climb the Rocky Steps and pose by the statue.

A live Spanish-speaking guide brings context to the day’s sights, while planned stops give you time to explore and take photos. Discover two defining chapters of the nation’s past in one memorable trip from New York.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: GetYourGuide doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
