Bus Tours to Allentown, Pennsylvania

Allentown, nestled between two mountain ranges in eastern Pennsylvania, shares the Lehigh Valley with two sister cities, Bethlehem and Easton. Allentown, the largest of the three, and the third most populous city in the state, is where American patriots hid the Liberty Bell during the Revolutionary War. In addition to historic places in all three cities, Allentown serves as a base for visits to the nearby Pocono Mountains and the Appalachian Trail, which passes just a few miles from town. Easton sits on the Delaware River and offers river rafting. While there are limited scheduled tours to the region, several companies offer charter tours for groups.

Allentown Charter Bus, an affiliate of U.S. Coachways, Inc., arranges itineraries to Allentown for groups.

Home to the U.S. Moravian Church, the old fashioned central downtown district is a shopping paradise, and is highlighted by the multi-store front Moravian Book Store. The company also offers tours to the Poconos. The modern buses seat 48 to 52 passengers.
