Freedom Trail - 7 day tour

The Freedom Trail offers you the highlights of the East Coast, from historic cities to the Appalachian Mountains, quaint small-town flavour to the awe-inspiring Niagara Falls. Learn of the rich history and experience the modern big cities and amazing beauty of this region.

We begin in the "Big Apple", our first stop is the America’s capital city, Washington, DC, and an evening tour of the illuminated monuments. The following day is free to explore the free Smithsonian Museums, the Capitol Building, or even the White House itself. So many attractions are free in Washington D.C. So get out and see as much as you can.

Next, we journey through bear country, Pennsylvania, (home to continental America's densest concentration of bears) on our way to Lake Ontario. We will take you to the breathtaking Niagara Falls, before touring along the base of these thundering waters on the Maid of the Mist cruise. This amazing boat ride takes you to the base of the falls where you can get a close up look at the mighty strength of the Niagara.

You then travel on to the Berkshire Mountains in eastern Massachusetts, and finally, the historic city of Boston, lovingly known as “Bean Town”.

In Boston, you can take the Freedom Trail to relive some of America's revolutionary history, visit the town of Cambridge and walk through Harvard Square, watch performers at Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, and then relax on the green of Boston Commons before heading out into the nightlife of this vibrant city. Finally, to end our journey we return to the 'city that never sleeps', New York City.
