Make a stop at Grand Central Terminal where movies like Superman, The Avengers and TV series like Gossip Girl were filmed. Want to go shopping?

New York City - Newport - Boston
As the New York stay comes to an end, meet up with your tour leader and fellow travellers this morning. Wave goodbye to the Big Apple and travel to Boston. En route to the next leg of this Eastern US & Canada tour, stop in Newport in the state of Rhode Island. This oceanside town has a fascinating history. It started out as a vital port in the 1600s and became a haven for artists. Since then it has become a popular US holiday destination and is now home to the US Naval War College. After some free time for lunch, drive through the state of Connecticut towards Boston. Enjoy a welcome dinner with the group tonight.
Boston Free Day
This full day in Boston begins with a driving tour accompanied by your tour leader. Look forward to seeing a few famous landmarks, like Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market. Afterwards, enjoy the option of visiting the famous, and very prestigious, Harvard University. The rest of the day is free to explore the capital of Massachusetts. A good way to get around the city is by taking the hop-on hop-off bus tour, which is very convenient and visits major sights including Beacon Hill, Boston’s most historic and affluent neighbourhoods and the 221-feet high Bunker Hill monument that commemorates the first major battle of the American Revolution.
Boston - Flume Gorge - Quebec City
Cheers Boston! Today, this USA tour crosses over into Canada. On the way, drive through the spectacular White Mountain National Forest to visit Flume Gorge in New Hampshire. This natural gorge extends for 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty and the sheer walls narrow to 12 feet apart in places. Take a memorable photo on the boardwalk which takes you deep into the gorge. Enjoy free time for lunch in the town of Littleton before crossing the border. Head into the country's only walled town - Quebec City. Settle into the hotel for the evening or set out on foot to explore the city.

This morning, set off on a walking tour to discover Quebec City. See Old Quebec, an important UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other historical places of interest include Chateau Frontenac and the Quebec fortifications. After the tour, the rest of the day is free. A Canadian adventure isn’t complete without lots of opportunities for personal exploration. There are plenty of outdoor activities and cultural destinations to discover. Feel like taking a day trip? Choose to join an excursion to Montmorency Falls, a breathtaking waterfall. Or, simply follow your nose and see where you end up!
Quebec City - Montreal - Ottawa
Bid adieu to Quebec this morning. The next stop on this Canada holiday is Ottawa, the country's capital. Along the way, make a stop in Old Montreal, with some free time for lunch. Now is a good time to try a local delicacy. Trying some piping hot poutine - French fries topped with gravy and cheese curd (yum!) is highly recommended.

Here, take a picture by the OTTAWA sign and get some dinner before heading back to the hotel for the evening.
Ottawa - McDonalds Corners - Toronto
Today this Eastern US & Canada tour travels to Toronto via McDonalds Corner. Enjoy a stop here for a delicious included breakfast of French toast, pancakes and more, followed by a tasting and demo of one of the country's biggest exports - maple syrup!

Get your bearings and set off on your own to explore this evening. Opt to take the excursion up to the CN Tower for some unmissable views of the city!
Toronto - Niagara-on-the-Lake - Niagara Falls
A must on any eastern Canada holiday is a Niagara Falls experience. Today, leave the shores of Great Lake Ontario to travel to these famous falls. Along the way, enjoy a stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake. This quaint town is known for its wineries. Visit a local winery and sample some regional wines, including Canadian ice wine. Next up - the majestic Horseshoe Falls.

Stroll along Clifton Hill, visit a casino or go see the falls at night.
Niagara Falls - Detroit
Today, head back to the States to explore more of the USA. After waving Canada goodbye, travel onwards to Detroit. This tough, gritty city is known for American Motown music and muscle cars. Although Detroit was heavily affected by the recession, it didn't take the beating lying down. This is a city that has reinvented itself. Enjoy an introduction to Detroit on a driving tour with your tour leader and learn more about the city’s history and resurgence. Choose to explore further on an optional Detroit walking tour or spend the rest of the evening exploring at your own pace.
Detroit - Pittsburgh
Next up on this US holiday, travel to Pittsburgh via Cleveland. Stopover in the Rock 'n Roll capital of the world. Enjoy free time to visit the iconic House of Blues or grab some lunch. This is the perfect time to try American roadside cuisine, such as a Polish Boy. This famous sandwich is a delicious combination of bun, grilled kielbasa sausage, chips and coleslaw. Alternatively, take this opportunity to visit the amazing Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Then, continue onwards to Pittsburgh. Here, take a ride on the century-old Duquesne Incline that travels all the way up Mount Washington. From the observation deck at the top, admire the city and its three rivers!
Pittsburgh - Washington D.C.
After breakfast, leave Pittsburgh behind and head onwards to America's proud capital city. Travel east to Washington D.C. and, upon arrival, start touring the city straight away.

Washington, D.C. - Philadelphia - New York City
This may be the final day of this Eastern US & Canada Tour but there are still plenty of experiences to be had. Travel to New York via Philadelphia.
