Itinerary
Day 1
1
You will travel on a comfortable motor coach, with your bilingual tour guide, enjoying the scenic landscape of upstate New York (travel time is approximately 7-8 hours, each way, with one rest stop) on your journey north. Upon arrival at your destination, you will begin experiencing the adventure, beauty, and natural wonder of Niagara Falls. During your visit, you will learn about the interesting history of these mighty waters and enjoy spectacular views of the falls from different vantage points (depending on the weather conditions). You will have the opportunity of having lunch on your own, souvenir shopping, and exploring the beautiful Niagara Falls State Park.
If you have selected the tour that includes this option, you will board the historic the Maid of the Mist boat to go on a ride through the waters of Niaga Falls. For sure, an experience you cannot miss!
Once the boat ride is over, your guide will head to the Observation Tower, as it is the unique way of exiting, from which you will be able to admire beautiful view of the falls.
This is the nearest lookout from which the American Falls can be seen, from which you will have the opportunity to be amazed by the beauty of the landscape as well as to take some pictures.
Then you will visit this small island, which is located in between The American and Bridal Falls.
It is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls and can be perfectly seen from Luna Island.
This island is considered the natural border between Canada and the United States, and here we can find a terrasse built to comfortably see Horseshoe Fall.
From here you can clearly see the Horseshoe Falls from the USA side of Niagara Falls.
Horseshoe Falls is considered the most impressive of the three falls, and the Terrapin Point offers astonishing views of them.

Two days later you will depart again from Times Square now heading south to two of the nation’s capitals. Your first destination visit will be Washington D.C. (Current capital) where your tour will begin with a visit to the Iwo Jima Memorial, dedicated to honor the US Marines.
You will continue with a visit to the impressive Lincoln Memorial honoring the president who promoted the abolition of slavery in the United States.
Washington D.C. is the center for all three branches of the U.S. government. During this tour you will stop for a classic outside view of the White House, home and office of the U.S. President.
You will stop for a classic outside view of the Capitol Building, home of the U.S. Congress and where the laws of this country are made.
Your next destination is the first ever U.S. capital, chosen during the Revolutionary War: Philadelphia, PA. After an approximately 3 hour journey, you'll arrive directly to Philadelphia's historic Old City neighborhood. Your first stop will be at the Independence National Historical Park where your guide will lead you on a brief walking tour. You will have the opportunity to see some of the main historical sites.
Outside views of Liberty Bell, the famous symbol of America's independence
Outside views of Independence Hall, the birthplace of the United State. It was within its walls that America's founding documents - the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) and Constitution - were debated and adopted.
Your visit to Philadelphia concludes with a stop at the Rocky Steps, in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where you'll have an opportunity to re-enact the famous scene from the 1976 movie by ascending to the top of the steps.

We have Two Day Combo: Niagara Falls and Washington with Philadelphia from New York. both bus trips experienced problems. The first day the bus had to change in New Jersey, the second trip the bus had to change in Delaware waiting almost 2 hrs
At niagra falls, I lost the tour guide, I went to toilet and I couldn’t see th tour guide when I was back.
We love Carlos as our tour guide very nice to kids and know the place so much. We wish to go back to Niagara Falls again. Thanks to the operator also the bus is nice even the driver
We left the meeting place on time. Tour guide made sure everyone is on the bus everytime we leave a place. Learned a lot from our friendly tour guides. Commentaries are both in English and Spanish. Made sure the aircon is just the right coldness as they ask the passengers to let them know if it needs to be adjust. They have safe drivers.
Monday through Friday 9 am to 7 pm EST
