Two countries, eight days, one seamless journey — New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Niagara Falls, Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, and Boston in a single cross-border trip.
Stand where the U.S. was born, from Philadelphia's Independence Hall to the founding documents in Washington's National Archives and Boston's revolutionary "firsts." Feel the thunder of Niagara Falls lit up at night, ride to the top of One World Observatory, and cruise past the Statue of Liberty. Then cross into Canada for Toronto's skyline, the charm of Old Montreal, and the walled, French-flavored streets of Quebec City — a UNESCO gem that feels like Paris.
A fixed bilingual guide travels with you throughout, handling every border crossing so the days flow smoothly, with comfortable hotels each night and a flexible mix of optional experiences to shape the trip around what you love most.
