Niagara Falls, Toronto, Thousand Islands, Philadelphia and DC 5-Day Tour from NYC

Five days from New York City cover the Northeast in a loop: Niagara Falls, Toronto, the Thousand Islands, Philadelphia with Amish Country, and Washington DC. The guided tour includes hotel accommodation and leaves Port Authority at 6:30 am. On Wednesday departures the order is reversed, starting with Philadelphia and Amish Country, then Washington DC, Niagara Falls, Toronto and the Thousand Islands. The Niagara leg heads north past the Delaware Water Gap to Watkins Glen State Park, with a walk through the canyon, then runs along Seneca Lake to the falls. The US side covers the American Falls, Goat Island and Luna Island, with the Maid of the Mist and the colored night lights. Toronto follows via Horseshoe Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, with stops at HTO Park, Brookfield Place, City Hall and the Distillery Historic District. A cruise on the St. Lawrence River passes Boldt Castle and Heart Island before the Delaware Water Gap stop on the way back. In April and October, depending on weather, Montour Falls replaces Watkins Glen and Journey Behind the Falls replaces the boat. The southern leg visits the Liberty Bell, Constitution Square, Congress Hall and Elfreth's Alley in Philadelphia, then an Amish buggy ride in Lancaster County. In Washington DC: the Jefferson Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery (passport or US ID required), the Smithsonian, Capitol Hill, the White House and the national memorials. The operator plants one tree per passenger through One Tree Planted.
