Day 1 – New York → Niagara Falls (410 miles / 660 km)

Meet at The ROW NYC hotel for a 7:30 am departure to Niagara Falls across New York State with a multilingual guide. Arrive in the late afternoon. Not the tallest falls in the world (a 170-foot drop), Niagara impresses with the sheer power and volume of its waters. Overnight.

Day 2 – Niagara Falls → Toronto → Niagara Falls (401 miles / 646 km)

Buffet breakfast. Board the Hornblower boat for a cruise right up to the thundering falls. In the afternoon, visit Toronto. Return to Niagara Falls for overnight.

If the Hornblower cruise is not possible, it will be replaced by the Journey Behind the Falls. The order of visits may change at the guide’s discretion or due to weather conditions.

Day 3 – Niagara Falls → Washington, D.C. (402 miles / 647 km)

Buffet breakfast. Depart for Washington, D.C., arriving in the late afternoon. Set on the Potomac River, the nation’s capital is a city of national monuments and museums, many with free admission. Overnight.

Day 4 – Washington, D.C.

Buffet breakfast. City tour with a local guide: the White House (exterior), the Capitol and the Washington Monument. Continue to Arlington National Cemetery, the resting place of President John F. Kennedy. Afternoon at leisure. Overnight.

Day 5 – Washington, D.C. → Philadelphia → New York (235 miles / 378 km)
