The best of the Northeast and Canada with Québec City & Montréal

Eastern Discovery is a classic, well-paced escorted coach tour from New York that combines the most iconic highlights of the Northeast USA with the cultural charm of Eastern Canada. After arriving in New York and meeting your Tour Director, the journey begins with a scenic drive into New England, where history lovers will enjoy a full day in Boston, one of the most important cities in American history.

The route then continues through picturesque landscapes toward Canada, leading to Québec City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its walled Old Town and European atmosphere. The experience continues in Montréal, a vibrant cultural capital where French heritage blends with modern North American life, offering a unique and memorable city experience.

From here, the tour travels to Toronto, Canada’s largest city, before reaching one of the journey’s most iconic natural landmarks: Niagara Falls. Guests have time to admire the falls up close and can enhance the experience with optional activities. Returning to the United States, the itinerary continues through Gettysburg and Amish Country, offering insight into pivotal American history and local traditions.

The final part of the tour focuses on Washington, D.C., where monuments, memorials, and national institutions tell the story of the United States, followed by a stop in Philadelphia, the birthplace of American independence.
