Wonderful trip to Hershey chocolate factory
Nice tour with a wonderful guide. Tour leader Lena was very kind and competent. It was a small group, it was comfortable and interesting. We traveled in a VAN Chevrolet Express equipped with air conditioning and a TV. The cabin is clean and pleasant. I enjoyed a tour of the Hershey Chocolate Factory, we had a lot of fun. I recommend this trip especially at Christmas time, there will be thousands Christmas lights!
Response from the operator: Thank you!

1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Newark.
How much does 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Newark usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Newark is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Newark, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Newark can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Newark and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Newark within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Newark?
+
Newark handles a lot of practical travel: airport transfers, port pickups for cruises, plus city walking tours, Ironbound food crawls and quick trips across the river into Manhattan. On Outty we rank every Newark experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game New Jersey: 60-Minute Adventure at American Dream, Experience Great Big Game Show New Jersey, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City 7-day Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Newark?
+
April to June and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Newark?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World?
+
Included: Hershey's Chocolate Tour Ride; All Fees and Taxes; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Tips for the guide and driver; insurance; and other expenses not specified in the “Price includes” paragraph. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Newark. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+

What happens to 1 Day Tour to Philadelphia and Hershey's Chocolate World if the weather is bad?
