5-Day East Coast & Niagara Falls Tour from NYC

New York > Niagara Falls

Your journey begins at 7:30 am with departure from the Riu Plaza Times Square Hotel, crossing New York State alongside your multilingual guide, who will accompany your group for the full duration of the tour. You'll reach Niagara Falls — one of the most visited destinations in North America — in the late afternoon. At a height of 188 feet (57 meters), the grandeur and sheer power of its cascading water are undeniably awe-inspiring. Accommodations are provided at the hotel.

Niagara Falls > Toronto > Niagara Falls

Start your day with a buffet breakfast, then set off on an unforgettable voyage aboard the "Hornblower" cruiser to the very base of Niagara Falls. As you draw closer to the thundering Falls, you'll take in breathtaking views and feel the roar of the rushing waters all around you. Should the Hornblower not be operating, you'll instead enjoy Journey Behind the Falls — another fascinating perspective on this natural wonder. Afterwards, continue with a visit to the city of Toronto. Overnight accommodations at the hotel.

Niagara Falls > Washington, D.C.

After a buffet breakfast, set off for Washington, D.C., the nation's capital, arriving in the late afternoon. Nestled against the states of Maryland and Virginia, the city is home to grand neoclassical monuments and iconic landmarks housing the federal government's three branches — the Capitol, the White House, and the Supreme Court. Washington greets you with scene after scene worth savouring, from the Potomac River to the magnificent National Mall, a landscaped park lined with celebrated museums, art galleries, cultural institutions, and memorials. Spend the night at your hotel.

Washington D.C.

Buffet breakfast. We begin our city tour, meeting in front of the residence of the most powerful person in the world — the White House. Along the way, we come across the timeless obelisk honouring George Washington, the first president of the United States. Beyond it, directly facing the obelisk, we visit the imposing Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to our beloved "Honest Abe," the 16th president of our nation. Continuing to Arlington Cemetery, we view the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier — the final resting place of three unidentified American service members, guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by members of the Old Guard. Finally, we visit the venerated grave of John F. Kennedy, lit by its eternal flame, set by Jacqueline Kennedy on November 25, 1963.

Washington, D.C. > Philadelphia > New York

Discover the Old City Historic District, which encompasses America's celebrated "most historic square mile." Nicknamed the "City of Brotherly Love" by its founder, William Penn, in 1682 — from the Greek words phileo (love) and adelphos (brother) — this is where the Founding Fathers of the United States declared liberty at Independence Hall, the very place the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. You'll arrive back in New York City in the late afternoon, with a single drop-off at the Riu Plaza Times Square Hotel (no extra drop-off locations).
