Philly and Amish Country
It's a good trip. But we weren't aware that we'd be on a bus with three different languages. There were times where that didn't work very well.

It was a good experience,...
It was a good experience, learning about the history. I was a bit disappointed about the buggy ride. That’s not what I anticipated.

Philadelphia with Rocky steps and Armish farm
Oscar was an amazing guide for our tour to philadelphia and the armish farm. He is very likeable and engaged in both history facts and and information as well as small talk. He did not disappoint with energy and charisma. If you have Oscar as your guide you are guaranteed an informative and fun day packed with laughs and great historical facts thrown in. Highly recommend
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re very happy to hear that Oscar made your day both fun and informative. We truly appreciate your kind words about him and will be sure to share them with Oscar. Thank you for choosing our tour, and we hope to welcome you on another trip soon! Best regards, Giulia

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for New York.
How much does Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in New York usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 New York is not rushed.
Is Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 799 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in New York, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC?
+
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 Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC?
+
Around 280 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 New York 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 New York and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Philadelphia and Amish Country, 1-Day Tour from NYC 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 New York 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 New York?
+
New York has more bookable experiences than any other city on Outty, and the quality spread is brutal. Observation decks are commoditised, so we score them on timed-entry reliability and sunset slots. Food tours and borough walks are where the ranking really separates operators, and the top scores in the city all come from small-group guides. On Outty we rank every New York experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Grand Canyon VIP Helicopter Tour, Half-Day Bus Tour of NYC Top Highlights, NYC Bus Tour of Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens: Art, Food & Sports. 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 New York?
+
September to early November, and late April through June. 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 New York?
+
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.
