Experience Highlights

Discover some of the most impressive sights on the East Coast with this combined tour of Niagara Falls, Washington D.C. and Philadelphia from New York. Over two separate days, you’ll travel in comfort by coach to witness the power of the falls and explore some of the most significant sites in American history.

You’ll be able to sail right up to the base of the falls aboard the Maid of the Mist, if you choose the boat option and it’s operating, as well as visiting Washington’s iconic monuments and exploring Philadelphia’s historic centre. A perfect way to discover three must-see destinations without having to organise transport or itineraries yourself.

  • Combine Niagara, Washington and Philadelphia in a single booking.
  • Choose between the option with or without the boat trip.
  • Travel from New York on a comfortable coach with a bilingual guide.

Step by Step

The experience takes place over two separate day trips, held on different dates and departing from Times Square. On the day dedicated to Niagara Falls, you’ll travel by coach through the landscapes of upstate New York on a journey lasting approximately 7 to 8 hours each way.

Once in Niagara, you’ll view the falls from various vantage points and learn about their history and natural significance. If you choose the relevant option and the service is operating, you’ll board the legendary Maid of the Mist to get up close to the base of the falls. Out of season, this experience may be replaced by other available viewing points, such as the Cave of the Winds, Terrapin Point or other accessible areas.

Two days later, you’ll head to Washington D.C., where you’ll see sights such as the Iwo Jima Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the White House and the Capitol from the outside. You’ll also have free time for lunch and, if the schedule allows, a brief visit to the National Air and Space Museum.

You’ll then continue on to Philadelphia, the country’s former capital and a key setting in the American struggle for independence. You’ll explore part of the historic centre on foot to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall and other sites within Independence National Historical Park. The day concludes at the famous Rocky Steps, opposite the Philadelphia Museum of Art, before returning to New York.
