Two Capitals in One Day: Washington and Philadelphia from New York

See two U.S. capitals in one day, on a star-spangled road trip of all-American history. This epic day tour will take you to some of America's most important monuments and historic landmarks, in two of the nation's capitals – the current one, D.C., and its original one, Philadelphia.

See the National Mall, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and even the Rocky steps!

Departing from the hustle-bustle of Times Square in Midtown Manhattan, you'll be whisked from NYC to Washington D.C., where you'll soon find yourself on the National Mall. One of the most important city parks in America, it's home to about two dozen monuments.

Ponder presidents past and present at the Lincoln Memorial, see the Washington Monument, and cast a glance over at the White House for comparison. Amble the Capitol grounds, where laws are made, and salute the brave Marines at the Iwo Jima Memorial.

Hop back on the coach and make your way to the birthplace of the American republic, Philadelphia! The City of Brotherly Love is where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776.

See the Liberty Bell, the famous symbol of America's independence, and Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, before channeling your inner Stallone and running up the Rocky steps outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art – what could be more American than that?
