    Amazing tour!
    My wife and I were picked up by James - on time and at the exact spot. He drove us to the Amish country in Lancaster County PA. Along the way he informed us of some of the history of the Amish culture along with some history of Philadelphia and eastern Pennsylvania. His knowledge is extensive! But it was all done in a conversational manner which made the trip pass very quickly. The weather was cool but the scenery was still green and lush and beautiful. James took us to many sites throughout the Amish countryside and engaged us with thought provoking questions on the return to Philadelphia. We both highly recommend WeVentures and James especially. This was a top notch tour.

    Can you ask for more?
    This tour provides you with an excellent opportunity to see the US in a nutshell - the Niagara Falls, DC, a major city, and something unique in the face of the Amish Country! A must, especially for Europeans.

    Worth it
    We left the meeting place on time. Tour guide made sure everyone is on the bus everytime we leave a place. Learned a lot from our friendly tour guides. Commentaries are both in English and Spanish. Made sure the aircon is just the right coldness as they ask the passengers to let them know if it needs to be adjust. They have safe drivers.

    Destinations great but so many disappointments
    The destinations on this tour were great and Niagara Falls were amazing, but I have to say the stress of finding out 14hours prior to departure that the tour you’ve booked through the Viator website does not actually correspond with what Empire Vacations offers was a big let down and costly. We booked and paid for all our holidays accommodation based around this one tours stops i.e Washington as final stopover, imagine our shock at finding out that our final stopover was Niagara Falls. All our follow on accommodation we had personally booked was in Washington DC as per the tour we’d booked on Viator. This wasn’t Empire Vacations fault, they did their utmost to try and find a solution to our situation, even as we started traveling on the tour. Suffice it to say this deviation was an expensive exercise.

    Our tour guide for the first two days through Philadelphia & Washington DC was Jutta and she was fantastic. She gave everyone a really positive experience with lots of information, great organization & care for all passengers. On top of this she couldn’t do enough to help us in our predicament.

    The second half of the tour was not nearly as enjoyable and most of this was due to the new tour guide. An ex school teacher that appeared to think we were his pupils rather paying passengers, and felt a strong need to share his political view any chance he got. Let’s not get started on the fact that I didn’t get to sit with my husband on this leg of the trip, and when i brought this up with our tour guide towards the end of the first day hoping to have something quietly done to change the situation because it was upsetting to me, he promptly made a public announcement about it on the bus topping it off with a joke about whether or not my husband would actually want to sit together. The highlight for these 2 days of the tour was Niagara Falls which are spectacular to see whether it’s up close on the maid of the mist or with fireworks exploding over top of them at night.

    All these places are really worth seeing when you travel to the United States but for me I’m not convinced this was the best way.

    Great Festive getaway!
    Amazingly entertaining fun! I guess no one does Christmas better than New York. Though crazy cold, we could still explore the city and see all attractions, plus the Radio City Rockettes Broadway was a cherry on top!
