What's this trip about?

    America's East Coast is packed with revolutionary history, culture-packed cities, natural beauty, and iconic landmarks. Have you always wanted to get lost in the colorful magic of New York's spirited streets? Are you a history buff who wants to pay homage to the Liberty Bell and the White House? Have you always dreamed of feeling the fresh mist of Niagara Falls? What if we told you that you could do all of that in one trip? Your guided journey starts in the "Big Apple." Watch yellow taxi cabs whiz by as you enjoy a sightseeing tour from the Empire State Building and Times Square, down to Wall Street and Greenwich Village. Treat yourself to a Broadway show and some authentic New York pizza!  Switch gears from NYC to natural wonder in Niagara Falls. Snap photos on your scenic drive north, then enjoy a sightseeing cruise through the falls! Feel your eyes widen as you hear the intense rush of New York and Canada's most famous waterfalls. Don't forget your poncho! Last, but certainly not least, put on your history hats and head to Philadelphia and Washington DC! Walk in the footsteps of famous revolutionaries in Philly, then enjoy a tour of DC's most prominent government buildings and national monuments.
