Had an amazing time exploring Washington, DC and Philadelphia! The tour was a great way to see two historic cities in a short amount of time. From the iconic landmarks and monuments in DC to the historic streets and sites of Philadelphia, every stop was worth it. The itinerary was well-organized, the experience was smooth, and it was definitely a convenient way to explore both cities without having to plan everything on my own. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the East Coast, especially first-time travelers!

We had an amazing time at The Franklin Institute! It’s one of the best science museums we’ve visited, with so many interactive exhibits that kept both the kids and adults entertained for hours. The Giant Heart, space exhibits, and hands-on activities were our favorites. Everything was well organized, clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you’re visiting Philadelphia with family, this place is definitely worth adding to your itinerary. Highly recommended!

The guide and the bus were awesome! they have combined the 1-day tour and 2-days tour into one group. as a result, I felt the itinerary has been compromised. Every stop we have only 10-20mins. The Amish country tour was very basic with a 10mins horse carriage ride around a field to see cows and chicken. Basic farm tour to see chicks, puppies, horses, cows, goats and 3 little pigs.

General info
What to know before visiting Philadelphia
What to do in Philadelphia year‑round
Philadelphia is a compact city where Museums, Tours and Attraction passes lead the way for visitors, according to Klook booking data. Museums are a steady draw through the year, while guided Tours spike in the warmer months and attraction passes suit flexible sightseeing. Demand builds into summer, with a high point in July and much quieter pockets around March, so plan activities to match the rhythm. Decide whether you want lively summer events or a quieter museum-focused trip — Klook booking data shows the difference clearly, and timing your visit will shape what you experience.
When to visit and what to expect
July registers the city’s highest demand while March is the quietest month, per Klook booking data. Prices move through the year too: August is typically the most affordable month for bookings, while September shows the highest median prices. Where demand and prices align, July brings busy crowds with reasonably moderate typical prices, whereas September is pricier despite only average demand — a useful contrast when choosing dates. For lower prices and smaller crowds, consider August or the quieter shoulder months; for peak-season atmosphere, aim for July.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Quieter than usual | AUD 127 |
| February | Very quiet | AUD 88 |
| March | Very quiet | AUD 133 |
| April | About average | AUD 81 |
| May | Busier than usual | AUD 88 |
| June | About average | AUD 69 |
| July | Peak demand | AUD 105 |
| August | Busier than usual | AUD 58 |
| September | About average | AUD 217 |
| October | Quieter than usual | AUD 164 |
| November | Busier than usual | AUD 149 |
| December | About average | AUD 99 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from Australia
Most travellers from Australia tend to book quite close to travel dates — typically around 1 day ahead, with the earliest planners booking about 4 days out, according to Klook booking data. That means you can often be flexible and pick things a day or two before, but in July (the busiest month) it pays to lock in popular experiences earlier. Use Klook to compare options and secure timed tickets or guided tours when you spot dates you want; booking a few days in advance balances convenience with choice and keeps your itinerary flexible.
