Day 1: Arrive New York City

Nothing beats the thrill of New York City. The towering Manhattan skyscrapers, the salt pretzels sold on every street corner, the trendy Brooklyn dive bars - you’ve seen it all on the silver screen, and now you’re finally here. Soak it in, because there’s nowhere else in the world quite like the Big Apple. After settling in to your hotel, meet up with your Travel Director this afternoon before hitting the streets to explore the city, your way. For a bird’s eye view to appreciate it all from on high head to the Top of the Rock, or pay a visit to leafy Greenwich Village for boutique shopping and some Sex and the City nostalgia. Feeling hungry? From gourmet food trucks to Michelin Star restaurants, the city that never sleeps ensures you’ll never go hungry.

If you feel like you only scratched the surface of New York yesterday, this morning’s orientation tour will get you acquainted with some of the city’s best loved icons. On the coach, you’ll then head south to ’Philly’ as it’s affectionally called by its locals. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage city in 2015 and the home of the legendary cheesesteak sandwich, Philadelphia is also the beating heart of the USA’s revolutionary history. Visit the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall where both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were signed. Masterclass in US history complete, you’ll then finish the day rather fittingly in the country’s capital and the seat of political power, Washington DC.

Day 3: Washington, D.C. Sightseeing

Today’s all about unearthing the political and cultural highlights of this high-flying city.

With the rest of the day to explore as you please, the question is really where to start? Perhaps treat your cultural side to an afternoon spent browsing the museums of the Smithsonian Institution, or choose experiences like visiting George Washington’s sprawling Mount Vernon Estate, or cruising down the scenic Potomac River whilst enjoying a delicious buffet lunch. This evening we’ve then got another treat in store - our Optional Experience Washington Illumination Tour, where you’ll see DC’s most famous monuments lit up in their night time glory.

We’ll then meet up with a Local Specialist who will share all about the ’plain’ lifestyle of the Amish community, who live without cars, televisions, mobile phones or modern-day appliances. You could choose to join our Optional Experience to try out the traditional buggy for yourself on a ride through the back roads, then tonight you could take it one step further by experiencing an Amish family-style dinner at Plain & Fancy, a farm-to-table restaurant operating since 1959.

Passing through the Appalachian Mountains and no doubt in utter awe of the scenery around you, bear in mind that this mountain range is one of the oldest on earth, formed around 480 million years ago and spanning the border between the USA and Canada. Speaking of which, it will be cheers all round as you venture onto Canadian soil, arriving into Niagara Falls late this afternoon. This evening, we imagine anticipation levels will be rising as you look forward to the natural spectacle that tomorrow will bring.

This afternoon is yours to tailor your trip your way. Why not opt to visit one of Ontario’s prettiest towns, Niagara-on-the-Lake. Boasting colonial architecture, cute rustic shops and local eateries, you’ll be in love even before we tell you of the region’s reputation as a producer of ’icewine’, one of the world’s finest wines that you’ll also have chance to sample at a tasting.

Known to locals as the ’Six’, Canada’s hipster enclave and largest city is all about unique neighbourhoods, fusion food, fascinating museums, and a healthy obsession with all things hockey. With the rest of the day all yours to explore, why not head to Queen West to explore the neighbourhood’s impressive collection of art galleries and design studios. You will test your head for heights at the city’s biggest icon, the CN Tower, its 553 metre spire dominating the landscape from every angle.

Arriving here, we’ll be listening out for the collective sighs of appreciation as you set eyes on the narrow cobblestone streets and pretty parks for the first time. No doubt itching to explore, why not unearth the city’s gastronomic side today. Upon arrival, why not continue your Quebec love affair with our Optional Experience that will get you out of town to admire the towering Montmorency Falls. Standing at 83 metres these falls are actually higher than Niagara Falls, forming the mouth of the Montmorency River.
