William Penn planned "The City of Brotherly Love" between two rivers - the Schuylkill on the west and the Delaware on the east.  Starting at one river and ending at the other, this driving tour offers a panorama of this wonderful city and its neighborhoods.

Few cities in the world can lay claim to the sylvan beauty found on both sides of the Schuylkill River as it runs through Fairmount Park.  Enjoy the splendors of the world's largest landscaped city park such as the Azalea Garden, the "Fountain of the Sea Horses," the Fairmount Water Works and Boathouse Row.  Your guide will also show you several of the restored early-American houses tucked away in the park which were once the summer homes of the city's colonial elite.  Fairmount Park is also home to the Philadelphia Zoo, America's first zoo, and the lovely Shofuso Japanese House and Garden.

The Encampment at Valley Forge is the epic story of an army's struggle to survive not only the brutal winter of 1777-78 but also its ability to continue as a fighting force.  Your guide will share the living history as you travel through the countryside where General George Washington and his beleaguered Continental Army withdrew after the Battle of Germantown.  Featured sites include the farmhouse that Washington used as his headquarters, soldiers' huts, earthen fortifications, the Memorial Chapel and the Memorial Arch.

Visit the rustic countryside of Brandywine Valley where art and nature combine to produce some of the region's most popular attractions.  This area has inspired three generations of Wyeths and has been home to many du Pont families.

Highlights include:

Stroll through this charming neighborhood with its elegantly restored townhouses, hidden gardens and courtyards, and historic Head House Square.  See Trinity houses, carriage steps and "busybodys" as your guide acquaints you with the customs and lifestyles of its 18^th century residents.

Journey back in time as your travel through
the pastoral countryside of Lancaster County. Your guide will acquaint you with the customs and lifestyles of these quiet people who live without the modern conveniences we take for granted. The day will include a visit to an Amish house and farm along with a real Pennsylvania Dutch style lunch with all the trimmings including Shoo-fly pie.

Tucked neatly within Philadelphia's Countryside amidst rolling hillsides, working farms and picturesque old-time towns, Bucks County is a particularly inviting landscape.

See the site where General George Washington and his soldiers crossed the icy Delaware River on Christmas Day 1776 for a  surprise attack on the enemy garrison, turning the tide of war in favor of the Americans.

Visit Green Hill Farms, the country estate of Pearl S. Buck, Pulitzer-prize winning author of "The Good Earth" or Pennsbury Manor, the restored country estate of William Penn situated on the banks of the Delaware River. Enjoy the potpourri of arts and crafts courtesy of Henry C. Mercer, creator of the  Moravian Pottery & tile Works and Fonthill Museum.  View the collection of Pennsylvania Impressionists at the James A. Michener Museum.  And don't overlook the shopping and dining options in Peddlers Village or the quaint community of New Hope.
