The name of the river, Allegheny River, quite literally means ‘best flowing river of the hills’ or ‘Beautiful stream’. It is also attributable to a long ago tribe called Allegewi who, once upon a time, took refuge along the river and the forest around it. The tribe was never found and they lived peacefully along the river until a time when a Moravian missionary named David Zeisberger located and found them. However, many continues to think of Allegheny RIver as a part of Ohio river.

Tasting and Tours around Buck County, Pennsylvania

After a daunting work day, sometimes all we need to invigorate ourselves is to take ourselves away from everyday stress and indulge in a tasty tour like the ones that they have in the outskirts of Pennsylvania. One such tour would be the Tasting and Tours of Bucks County in New Hope Pennsylvania. You can head over with your large group of friends and family members during the weekend with our charter bus PA packages if you want to make the most of your time. The charter bus drivers are well-trained and are incredibly friendly and they might even share some of their own personal stories with you on your way to the destination.

This charter bus PA tour is quite unlike any other that you may have been on for one good reason...the tour guides are willing to accommodate your preferences (or needs) if you have a particular preference in terms of the wineries and breweries that you wish to visit on that day. The flexibility lets you have a hand in deciding on the kind of tour you will have with your family and friends. The guide will also personally recommend some great places for you if you are not familiar with Bucks County...and we can’t blame you.

The tour is a very care-free tour around the famous local breweries and wineries which have been serving fantastic drinks for decades. Some are inherited from generations ago, so, they have their own friendly and charming appeal. You do not get to see this in other more conventional breweries, this much we can tell you. The thing with visiting this tour is that once you arrive at the destination in our charter bus PA vehicle, the tour guides will organize the transportation depending on the size of your group. Your role in the tour is to sit back, relax and enjoy every single minute of it. Sounds like an amazing deal, doesn’t it?

The reason why they are able to offer such amazing deals and pricing to charter bus PA visitors is because they have developed a friendly partnership with most of the breweries and wineries around the area and based on this partnership, the savings are passed on to visitors like you.

While they remain flexible on most issues, there is a small requirement of four people per tours and if the group is smaller than three people, it is possible for them to cancel the tour and refund the fees to the customers. We completely understand it if you wish to be picked up by the tour guide in a more convenient location (other than those they have listed down in their brochure and website), it is to be understood that a standard fee will be charged to the customer if they wish to be picked up from a different location.

We hope you will put some thought into making the tour soon in the near future.

Please Touch Museum

Those who are bringing along their kids during their Philadelphia charter bus tour and travel will find it a little daunting looking around for something to do for the kids. Kids are kids....they WILL get restless. While the grownups are out shopping, visiting museums, and having a look around historical and culturally popular sites and attractions, the kids are going to be bored. All of this is only natural because kids do not understand and cannot grasp the importance of these sites of interest.

If they have been good and have behaved relatively well throughout the Philadelphia bus charter holiday or gathering, ask the driver of the rented charter bus to bring the kids around to Please Touch Museum, one of the most popular kid-friendly museums of its kind.

Please Touch Museum is located on 4231 Ave of The Republic on Fairmount Park and the bus driver should have no trouble whatsoever in trying to locate it because it is an incredibly popular attraction for the young ones. Admission for members and kids under the age of three is free of charge while the nominal admission fee for kids and grownups are $16 at this point in time. To find out more about the updated rates, please visit their official website.

On top of their regular exhibits and displays, Please Touch Museum organizes regular gatherings, events and festivals which will pique the kids’ interest in learning about new things, the world and science.

The Please Touch Museum understands and supports the fact that, for generations now, people realize that one of the fastest ways for kids to learn something a new, a new concept, is for them to play. And that is the kind of legacy that they wish to leave behind and help spread. By reaching out and lending their support to surrounding communities and through their lessons and exhibits, they hope to help each other try their level best of bring about the greatest potential in each of the children that they had the pleasure to entertain and meet.

Their main mission and vision continues to be to play, learn and grow...and while we are at it, the Please Touch Museum will be supportive of that. For those of you who have heard of the museum and have it in your plans to make a quick Philadelphia bus charter stop at this amazing tourist attraction, please bear in mind that the museum have moved to a new location. Please ensure that the bus charter driver knows that the new location is now at Fairmount Park.

In the meantime, for those of you who are heading over in a large group, please do get in touch with Charter Bus PA after perusing through our bus gallery page so that we can provide you with the best bus for the occasion and group.
