Philadelphia + Princeton University Day Trip
Tour Details
Fancy discovering one of the most historical cities in the United States? What about one of the most prestigious universities? At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Manhattan at Times Square Hotel in New York and begin this exciting trip to Philadelphia and Princeton.
Firstly, we'll travel towards the state of New Jersey, where Princeton University is located. After approximately 2 hours, we'll arrive at our destination and begin an hour-long guided tour to discover one of the most renowned campuses in the United States.
During our tour of Princeton, we'll see the university's most iconic buildings such as Nassau Hall, the oldest on campus, Cannon Green, the Richardson Auditorium, East Pyne, Chancellor Green and the University Chapel. Additionally, we'll tell you some of the most remarkable stories, as well as the names of the many illustrious people who have passed through its classrooms.
Afterwards, we'll head to Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed. Upon arrival, you'll have free time for lunch and, having re-energised, we'll begin a complete tour of the city, starting with Elfreth's Alley, a group of Georgian houses including the Betsy Ross House. Did you know that the first American flag was made here?
We'll continue our tour by approaching Independence Hall, where we'll see the Liberty Bell. This is the perfect place to learn all about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence—it's one of the great sites of American history!
Next, we'll stroll through the Independence National Historical Park before heading downtown to see City Hall and, of course, the famous steps where the Rocky movie was filmed—from here, you'll have one of the best views of Philadelphia!
Finally, we'll make our way back to New York and call it a day after 13 hours of sightseeing.
