Boasting arguably America's finest collection of museums, a vibrant Waterfront area and memorials to many of the nation's greats, you've certainly chosen an iconic spot to kick off your adventure. After settling in to your hotel you'll meet up with your Travel Director this afternoon, then why not pay a visit to bustling Georgetown for a wander 'round the shops and restaurants.

| Day 2 | Washington | Washington DC Sightseeing and Free Time: Today is all about unearthing the political and cultural highlights of this high-flying city. You'll kick things off with a sightseeing tour that will feel more like a walk through a real-life movie set, see icons including the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, and the jewel in America's political crown, the White House. Visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience. This is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture and houses over 36,000 fascinating artifacts. And if that whets your appetite for history, maybe also choose to visit the Air and Space Museum. With the rest of the day to explore as you please, the question is really where to start? Perhaps take a walk around the Tidal Basin Loop Trail or choose experiences like visiting George Washington's sprawling Mount Vernon Estate. This evening we then have another Optional Experience, Washington Illumination Tour, where you'll see DC's most famous monuments lit up in their nighttime glory.

We'll then meet up with a Local Specialist who will share all about the ?plain' lifestyle of the Amish community, who live without cars, televisions, mobile phones or modern-day appliances. This evening why not choose to dine at a local restaurant serving traditional Amish fare? Accommodations: Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square |
| Day 4 | Niagara Falls | Lancaster - Niagara Falls, Canada: Traveling northwest today, you'll journey along the surging Susquehanna River as you cross the western region of New York State.

| Day 6 | New York | Niagara Falls - New York City: Bidding a fond farewell to Niagara Falls this morning, you'll journey back across the border through leafy and picturesque upstate New York.
