Three of the Best - New York, Washington DC and Niagara Falls

Our nationwide shared chauffeur service collects you from home for your flight to Washington DC, for a two night stay.

This morning enjoy a tour of the city starting at Washington’s cultural and political centre, the Mall. Dominated by the Capitol Building, the fine buildings are surrounded by two miles of graciously laid out gardens, at the end of which stands the beautiful Lincoln Memorial. A short stroll takes leads to the home of every American President after George Washington, the White House.

This afternoon is free to explore at your leisure. This evening visit Georgetown, a fascinating community of exquisite homes, many belonging to the Washington elite.

Head to the northern-most tip of the Chesapeake Bay and Baltimore, where a big city atmosphere blends comfortably with small town charm. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along its waterfront area offering a vast choice of restaurants, promenades and a beautiful harbour complex. Later, continue north through the pastoral delights of Pennsylvania to Williamsport.

Continue to Niagara this morning, crossing the Canadian border to reach the natural wonder of Niagara Falls. On arrival, spend time exploring the awe-inspiring Horseshoe Falls and American Falls. View the Falls from the Skylon Tower or from the underground tunnels behind them, or take a boat trip for a closer perspective, feeling the spray and hearing the thundering waters.

Meals: Breakfast

Enjoy a whole day free to further enjoy the Falls. Maybe take a relaxing walk through the beautiful gardens. Or try out the town’s more unusual attractions, such as the Waxworks and the Guinness Book of Records Museum. The casino is also worth a visit which, apart from the acres of one-arm-bandits, is home to several good restaurants and an evening cabaret show.

Head to Buffalo to visit the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site, where Theodore Roosevelt took the oath of office in 1901. This historic house museum explores the dramatic events surrounding the assassination of President McKinley and Roosevelt’s unexpected inauguration.

Later, visit to the Corning Museum of Glass, the world’s largest glass museum featuring 3,500 years of glass artistry, with live glassblowing demonstrations, hands-on exhibits and an 18,000-square-foot glass market.

Continue to New York City for a tour of its most recognisable landmarks, including Wall Street, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building and Central Park. After checking in to a conveniently located hotel for a two-night stay, spend the late afternoon and evening settling in and getting oriented. Later, head to Times Square and the theatre district, where a wide choice of restaurants ranges from classic American steakhouses to Italian eateries.

Meals: Breakfast

Today is free in New York, so there’s plenty of time to re-visit some of your favourite sites. You could explore Lower Manhattan and visit the Woolworth Building (the tallest before the Empire State was built), atmospheric Chinatown, SoHo and the tree-lined streets of Greenwich Village.

Central Park is Uptown and covers an incredible 850 acres - perfect for a relaxing afternoon stroll after lots of sightseeing. Or explore Midtown - home to the impressive United Nations Building, Grand Central Station (familiar from so many films) and the New York public library with its famous twin stone lions outside. If you’re in the mood for shopping, further West, Fifth Avenue’s fine shops, including Saks and Tiffany’s, Radio City Music Hall and the Rockefeller Center can be found.

Your morning is free for some last-minute shopping before transferring to the airport for your return flight to the UK.

Upon arrival, your vehicle will be waiting for the journey home.
