About this activity

Cover a lot of the East Coast in three days on this small-group escape from New York, blending American history with natural spectacle. Day one heads south to Philadelphia for the birthplace of American independence, then on to Washington, D.C. for its grand avenues and monuments. Day two turns north toward Niagara Falls, with optional stops at the Corning Museum of Glass and, in season, the gorge trails of Watkins Glen, arriving in time for the in-depth night tour when the falls glow under colored lights. Day three is yours to choose, with the optional Classic Tour for Whirlpool Park, the Cave of the Winds, and either the famous Maid of the Mist in summer or historic Old Fort Niagara in the cooler season, before the ride back to New York. Two nights of hotels and round-trip transport are included.
