From New York City: Washington and Philadelphia 1-Day Tour – The White House, Washington DC

EXPERIENCE

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, 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. Your visit to Washington concludes with free time for lunch on your own.

Your next destination, after a 3-hour journey, will be the first-ever U.S. capital, Philadelphia, PA.
