Day 3 New York

We have a free day to explore and there's still one bit of the city we haven't seen - Central Park. And what better way than with a bike tour? Or maybe you'd like to take a tour of the LGBTQ+ historical hotspots in the city!

Well NYC, we came, we saw, we conquered. Next stop Philly! But not before a true American style diner breakfast - we're talking unlimited coffee and pancakes the size of your head. Taking the Amtrak (train) down to Philadelphia will have us arriving early afternoon. That's plenty of time to walk through historic Philly and admire all the landmarks that make this city famous, including the LOVE Monument and the Liberty Bell. Feeling thirsty? Why not join a tour of The Yards brewery for some locally made refreshments? For dinner it's best to indulge in what this city is known for: Philly cheese steaks and whoopie pies!
